Kelly: Matt and I are going to Madrid Friday. We are meeting our friends there for a fun-filled weekend. For some reason, it doesn't seem real. Maybe we are getting used to traveling or maybe this week has been a chaotic mess. OR maybe it is because I haven't packed anything and know nothing about Spain or Madrid in particular. Oh well. We are both ready for a break. Matt's job prospects have been questionable at best, but he just found out that his old organization or unit or whatever they call it has been dissolved into nothing, and it appears that he wouldn't have a job when he went back. As it stands now, he's not sure how much longer he will have the little bit of work that he currently has. So, I guess all of the stress related to that is the reason for needing a break! Neither of us has been sleeping much, either. Everything has seemed difficult this week...even the little things. I feel like staying in bed all day...when has that ever happened?
We did have an intersting experience today....I wanted to buy Matt a watch for his birthday, and I wanted to get him a European-made watch (when in Rome...). So, we went to our local (2 seconds down the street) watch shop (yes, they really do exist), and he picked out the one that he liked. The couple who owns the shop started chatting with us. The husband in particular was so so friendly. It really made me feel happy to be a temporary resident of his country. Interesting how my views on living in Europe seem to change with the breeze (a cold breeze...the weather has been unforgiving).
