Berlin, Germany
03:05 pm
Rainy, dull
Hey,
I am sitting at Starbucks enjoying a nice cup of coffee, whilst waiting for Denise to call me. She’s currently undergoing teeth surgery and I am her designated driver.
My nightshifts are okay, though I am busy every day I try sleeping as much as I can. The Weiss family will be visiting me on Friday and I’ve organized a room at my hostel and invited coolleagues and friends to listen to Renu’s talk about the Banyan. Because I didn’t know what day they’d be coming, everything was on short notice. I sincerly hope that some people are able to come! She’s a great woman and hearing her speak about the Banyan is very interesting and enlightning.
So today, I slept till 12:45pm and left with Denise for Berlin while Marina is taking care of Vivian. I am exhausted to the bone and coffee is the only thing keeping me upright and going J.
Tomorrow. I will have to do some grocery shopping and baking for Friday. And on Friday, no sleep for me, picking up the Weiss family, drop luggage at home, tour Potsdam (depending on the weather), go to hospital for talk and tour, more Potdam in the evening. I’ll be out like a light by the time I touch my pillow Friday night. But depite the days being exhausting, I so look forward to having Renu and the men!
My dad’s birthday is on Friday. It’s not a big deal that I won’t be there, because his sisters (2 of them) and husband as well as one of my cousins are coming to meet and celebrate with him. Marina will also be joining them and depending on when the Weiss’s leave, I am tempted to drive out and see them too.
My mom and her bf visit us on Monday. It was nice for a change. We had fruit and cake and decide to take a walk in the park. It rained hard the moment we reached the middle of the park and I was drenched within minutes. The 4 of us had a spontaneous dinner together and nice conversation, which can be hard, because my mom likes to be the center of attention.
A big hug to all of you I haven’t seen for a while or haven’t had the time to talk to. You guys are on my mind and in my heart. Jana: how are you and the little one? Any chance we could meet in Berlin in the near future? Colleen: Boy, do I miss sitting down with you and talk, talk, talk. Sonya: I soooo miss you!! How are you, girl?
To all the others – write, call or think of me!!
Much love,
Rea
P.S.: I planned to post it at the 9th of April... well... sorry ?! More new stuff soon.
