Wow. I slept through
the night finally waking/getting up at 6:30.
Maybe because I didn’t look at any blue screens (or at least for short
duration) for 2 hours before I went to bed?
But I took a nap from 9 to 10am.
Last night I had asked Laura what time her train leaves
tomorrow (now today) and she said 4:06pm.
At 11:30 last night Laura sent me a photo of her and another au pair
from Bogota. She said “I’m so
tired. I sleept 4 hours.” With crying
emoji faces.
On my walk to the gym a man stopped me and asked me if there
was a BBVA banco on the corner. I had
him repeat it and then I told him there is a BBVA ATM machine in the gas
station. Pretty good, huh?
At the gym I completed all my exercises in an hour and 50
minutes. On a treadmill I saw a young
man with a Chicago Bulls Michael Jordan jersey.
I texted Sara and everything is okay for Laura being picked up in Boston
today.
Laura texted me a photo of Lay’s Sour Cream & Onion potato chips and told me she loves
them. I told her to be careful if she
doesn’t want to get fat.
I took a plate of cookies down to the porteros. While there a Dunkin Donuts truck went by and some of the school girls were
singing their theme song.
Laura texted at 5pm that she’s on the train. Of course the view is anything but pretty
with electric substations, industrial warehouses, and the like.
Finally, after days of waiting, we finally took the boxes
that have been piled up by the front door down to our storage room in the
garage.
Laura is sad because her new friend from Bogota is going to
be an au pair in Ohio, far from Mass.
Teresa talked to Laura, still on the train at 7:45, and
after they hung up Teresa tells me that Sara is in New York. Only after further questioning did I realize
that she’s talking about Zara the
store.
Laura texted me about 8:45 and reported that she was in
Sara’s house and she is ok.
About 9:30 Teresa called and talked to Laura for awhile. She then handed me the phone. We compared notes after the call: Sara picked
Laura up at the train station, they met Michael afterward, the girls are cute
like dolls, she likes her room (it’s bigger than her old room here), but she
doesn’t like the cold outside. I told
her that would change in a few months.
Teresa reminded me that Laura will probably want to stay another year to
save money for college.
Joke of the day
A man and
his wife were playing golf. The man tees
off and ball veers way off to the right, breaking the window of a house. The wife says you must go and apologize and
pay for the window.
Both the man
and his wife walk up to the house, ring the door but no one answers. He opens the door and inside, next to the
window he sees a broken vase with his golf ball lying on the floor.
Suddenly a
man comes out of a nearby room, the golfer starts to apologize for breaking his
window and the vase.
The man inside
the house says, “No, don’t apologize, I am a genie and have been stuck in that
vase for 10,000 years, you have rescued me and I owe you deeply. For helping me I will grant three wishes. I will give you one, your lovely wife one and
I would like to keep one for myself.”
He asks the
man what he wishes for. The man thought
awhile and says
The genie
waved his hand and said, “A million dollars, it’s yours, it has been deposited
into your bank account.”
He asks the
wife what is her wish. She says, “I wish
for a condominium in Hawaii.”
The genie
waves his hand and says, “A condominium in Hawaii, it’s yours.” The genie continues, “Now it is my
turn.” He thinks for awhile and says,
“You know it’s been 10,000 years since I’ve had a woman, could I make love to
your wife?”
The man
things for awhile and says, “Honey, he gave us a million dollars and a
condominium in Hawaii, the least you could do is make love to him.”
The wife
agrees and they both go to the back bedroom.
After making
passionate love, the woman says, “I can’t believe that my husband let you do
this to me.”
The genie
says, “And I can’t believe that your husband still believes in genies.”
