Home Stinky Home

I just sat down to a nice glass of wine and a spread of cheese and crackers after spending the last four hours in traffic while picking up my car from a friend who borrowed it while we were gone. I can definately say, traffic is one thing I have not missed about Jakarta. The annoying thing about the roadways here is that even if you kind of know where you are, you can still get completely lost. Of course, it doesn't help that I have an extremely weak sense of direction.

This has been a grueling couple of days back to school. We have had meetings and orientations with only a tiny bit of time left in the day to get ready for classes to start. It has been nice catching up with old friends and meeting the new teachers. Thank God it is a short week and we have Friday off for the Indonesian Independence Day.

Judah is having trouble sleeping during the night, i assume due to jetlag or maybe some teeth, which means Leah and I are getting very little sleep as well. Hopefully he figures things out soon and gets back to his schedule. He is getting around so much now and is using anything and everything to get him where he wants to go. Also he is kind of becoming a freak about Leah. Whenever he sees or hears her he fusses until he is in her arms. He only likes me when I do some sort of stupid dance or chase him around on the floor.

I don't have a lot to say. I am extremely happy to be working towards a vegetarian lifestyle.

love,
