Good and Bad Times
Potsdam, Germany
09:00 pm
Fresh air after a heavy rain.
Today was a strange day.
Good:
I got my Visa for India. If India is as fun as the embassy was last week, then I am going to love it.
Bad:
A babe was waiting at work for me, that I knew pretty well. I fed him and changed him while he was a preemie. I cuddled and rocked him to sleep when he was admitted and we found out that he’s been hurt by family. I swallowed the bile that rose in my throat when he went home with the same family. Today I took pictures of the scratches on his back, the red and purple marks on him and tried to sooth his whining ( he didn’t really cry, he just whimpered) while we waited for an MRI of his head. He’s barely a half year old and has been through so much. On top of all this we nearly lost him during the MRI preparation. I watched helplessly while the doc performed CPR.
Sometimes I hate my job.

Laundry and Light headed
Potsdam, Germany
09:30pm
Post storm weather
Well,
I finally got a new washing machine. Guess what, I love it. Yes, not just like, I LOVE IT! It’s clean, it’s smooth, saves energy, saves water, is really quiet and adding to these awesome features… you can sit in front of it and watch while your knickers get thrown around. Oh, it can wash, too.

Oh oh oh, did I mention that I did all the handy work? I connected the machine and got some spare parts. Imagine how proud I felt doing the first laundry in it?! 
Yannick spend an evening at my place with his mom. I made bee-sting pie and homemade cream. We went for a walk to the nearby lake and Yannick couldn’t resist. 
He was so adorable. Afterwards, I made curry and chatted with Jana. It was really nice.

Concerning my health, I’m kind of having a summer cold and my head feels like packed into cotton balls. But no rest for the wicked, I will be heading to the Indian embassy this Friday to get my Visa and I can hardly wait to take off. But before I leave for Chennai, there’s a week of spare time coming up at the beginning of September. Sandra and I will head to Havelberg to join the local horse market for a weekend. It’s a huge happening every first September weekend and this will be our third trip there. It’s like a great road trip; with an awesome flee market in the afternoon and a carnival in the evening.
Till later, love,
A.
P.S.: I took this on my way home.
