Day of Rest

Mood: a bit tired
Stage notes: Internet cafe on Frankfurterstr. which is blocked off today for an open air market

I'm watching the kids at the Gaschos for the first time tonight. I'm looking forward to it. I ran out of steam last night and decided to be lazy all of today, but I've found that I can only take idle time in small doses. I got a lot of cleaning and German studying done this morning, which was satisfying. Tomorrow I am going to church in Dortmund with Heike and the kids, and then we are going to visit Martin's parents in Essen. I expect that I will get home quite late, but I start VHS (new German school) on Monday. My classes there are from 1-5, so I can afford to sleep in if I need to.

I've gotten a lot of e-mails the last couple of days. I'll answer ASAP, but I have to go to internet cafes right now for a connection, so I don't have as much time to get caught up on all of my correspondence.
