Things have been so hectic that I have not been able to get on the internet. My life has not slowed down since my move and I am still living every moment as if it�s a New York moment. Between work, English classes, remodeling, hosting my brother, friend, father and my social life... I am pooped.
With that out of the way I can give you an update on Health Walk 2001 and how busy our clinic is because of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The staff is tired by the end of the workday and English class is our chance to interact and catch up with one another (only in English of course). During the day everyone is rushing past eachother trying to get all our work done. The month is going well, the walk is being planned with success however we are all waiting for Novemeber to roll around :o)
The remodeling is moving along faster than I could imagine. The walls are now all up, and now we are plastering them. We also started the roof and the tiling today. I am hoping that it will be ready by November first, but definitely before I leave for my 2 week Los Angeles trip in mid-November. My room however is pretty big and I am excited to have all the space to play with. After living in that tiny New York closet for so long, I love the fact that I can lay down without bumping up against some wall.
My father just came into town for 4 days. My dad and I are very close and have a fun and hip relationship. We had a great time laughing and talking and taking care of remond and spending time with eachother (something we don�t get to do). Next week my brother leaves back to America and I will be alone for the first time since my move. I am looking forward to the solitude as I have had a guest ever since I got here. I will throw on my CDs and give concerts to the walls and teddy bears and test drive my cooking skills.
The only other big news that I have to report is that I am going to be a kavor (a godfather). My sanik to be, Senik, has to be the most adorable two and a half year old I have seen. After spending the morning with him we realized that he is just a little version of me. He was on my lap and his dad put music on and all of a sudden he jumped off... because he felt like he needed to dance. Typical Madlene. His father looked over and asked my dad, �Can a girl be a Godfather?�. My father replied �Yes� and then they asked me to be Senik�s Kavor. I accepted right away.
