For starters, the grocery store had broccoli this week – it’s only about the third time I’ve seen it here. It wasn’t as nice as what you would get at the store at home, but roasted up, it was still pretty tasty! Quite exciting!
The week was filled with more emergencies with American citizens – it’s like a full moon or something. We’re dealing with some very tough cases. Two of us from the consular section went to a small private burial of a U.S. citizen this week where I said some words and read a poem/prayer.
Friday was a local holiday. I worked from home most of the day, just trying to get caught up a bit. We’re heading into the season where we have lots of annual reports due and employee evaluations – busy time.
Last Sunday I had a good video chat with Ann, Pamela, and Jackie, and another with David. Mary and I talked yesterday when she called to tell me a mutual friend Donna had died – very sad. I hadn’t seen her in years, but liked her and her husband very much.
Today would have been Mom’s 97th birthday. Miss you.
