I love the ending of last week's ep.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The stakes, they are raised.

Which one do you have, Matt?
I have a Krups. Not sure if this is the exact same model as mine, but it looks alike and the features sound the same: [link]

Totally happens, Gud. I gotta think being a parent must be really hard on introverts who need alone time!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Thanks, Ginger! All seems clear, now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Evening! I am in line for the Springsteen show!
Wahoo! That will be me on Thursday!

I feel like it wasn't politic for me to dodge group dinners a couple of the nights here (did 2 others, probably will need to do a farewell one tonight) but we don't need that much togetherness. Even if I was dining with one other person, it wasn't work, and since the two of us don't have a direct working relationship and actually might end up friends after this, it was downtime.
Downtime=really important.
I was able to actually explain how long I was here and what I was doing to the bar guy at the workingmans' cafe/bar that I've been grabbing my breakfasts at. Score! (3.45E for 2 cafe con leches and chuorros, porros(?) or toasted roll or bread. Not super cheap except compared to elsewhere here, but then food here isn't when you convert to dollars.)
It's kind of hilarious. My unconscious comprehension is really not too bad. When I try to actually do word for word, I'm confuddled. But if I just let it roll over me and blurt out whatever comes to mind... Well, I don't have the conjugations (except in french) but I'm able to communicate. I've ended up doing basic transactional translations for people who have more formal spanish than I, but they get hung up on word for word.
Which is not to say I don't sound like a demented gibberishy toddler. I just am able to get by.
Need to figure out how I'm getting to Segovia tomorrow. And then what. Back in Madrid for Saturday and Sunday nights. Might daytrip to Toledo one of those days. Totally picking up barritas de jamon iberico for the plane ride back (USAir food SUCKS REALLY SUCKS.)

Argh. We got an offer on our house! But it is insultingly low. I googled the people and they are young kids, and they can't afford any more than they offered, so I am less insulted now, but still, we cannot possibly afford to sell even close to that price.
