A Much Easier Day

It was amazing to sleep laying down last night, and I slept relatively normal hours despite the 7 hour time change. I woke up this morning and helped Claire's roommate move out of the apartment, which was easy for my foot to handle compared to what it had to do yesterday. Unfortunately, I still can't walk quite well enough to go down to the old city, but I am exploring around this neighborhood.

I went to a grocery store for a few things, which was overwhelming. So many choices, none of which make much sense to me yet. When I checked out and paid, my items sat on the counter and the cashier went on to the next person. I looked around for boxes or bags before attempting "Haben Sie ein...uh, ein -"

"Bag?"

"Yes. Bag. Tasche." I was going to get there. She sold me a bag, but from now on I'll remember to bring my own. We're so spoiled in America.

I made myself lunch and ate in the garden while I worked on a script that needed some attention. I need to be writing every day, and that will probably be much more manageable here than in the States, as I am far less busy. For now.

In the afternoon a thunderstorm started which is still going strong. I finally got through to Sophie, who I'm subleasing an apartment from. I'm meeting her and the roommates tomorrow afternoon.

I enrolled in my TESOL certification course today as well. It's online, and I can start as early as tomorrow. It's a 100-hour course, which I should be able to knock out in the remainder of August. I should be able to start working as soon as I finish.

Here's a view from the back window:















As soon as I'm living in the altstadt I'll post pictures from that. It's gorgeous here.
