Alright, now for a real Raffi log, hopefully these fancy people will take a moment to log once or twice a week again. Going back to read the old logs is a lot of fun and makes me realize how nice it is to have these written snapshots of what is going on in Armenia these past few years.

On Saturday, I walked over to Artbridge, and halleluyah (sp?), Tumanyan Streets sidewalks are almost finished!! Oh, what a relief after walking through rubble all year. The construction all over the city is in a mad rush to finish with deadlines and winter approaching. We should have a beautiful new look next year. Every night seems to be meetings and get togethers with a different group, so last night I went straight home, having felt exhausted all day, and cooked a nice dinner, then went to bed early and slept for over 9 hours, something of a minor miracle for me. So today I am refreshed and feel normal. Alex just popped into my office and I showed him the log I wrote for him... it might just have the desired effect :-)

At work things are going ok. I just shifted offices, and don't laugh but the amount of excersize I get in a whole day has been at least halved. My office used to be rather far from my co-workers, and on a different floor in the large compound, so now I hardly get up in comparison.

What else? Well my dad is here still, this will be his last week. This weekend I wanted to go relax in Jermuk for the three-day Columbus Day weekend, but nobody else gets the day off outside of our offices, so I am not going to go alone. There is as usual lots of activities popping up for the weekend anyways, so maybe I will just visit my friends offices on Monday to rub in my day off, and try to run a couple of errands. G' desnenk.
