This Too Shall Pass

Started reading "The Secret", looking for some clarity while repeating my new mantra "This Too Shall Pass." I guess I can’t really complain, it has only been 7 months and I suppose we have been doing well it is just that finding a job for Rodrigo has been an unexpected challenge since he decided that the Chef Industry was not going to work for him here. I suppose when I started to contemplate this new mantra I thought how funny and embarrassed I will feel when we have moved past this part "no money “and I whined all of the way. Which also made me wonder if while whining I would overlook the lesson.

When it Rains it Pours

Now Rodrigo has 3 interviews. We can sit for months and hear nothing then in one day all of the answers. 

Toe Nails

 

The dog is pacing back and forth and her toe nails are so long that the little sound of them hitting the tile is making me go crazy.  She won’t sit still, she won’t stand still and she won’t stay outside.  Well, here she comes again… where are my head phones?

Fuck it!

To be or not to be… this is the real question.  I am begging myself to not write more today. 

A Balancing Act

We are looking forward to a busy week of English. I am putting together a seminar series on American Culture and Life, something that I am quite knowledgeable about, thank goodness.  I don’t have much time today to write as I am still not too inspired.  Maybe tonight…thinking I need a nice night alone with my computer and a glass of wine.  How I miss wine.  I used to drink wine but now we drink Cerveja out of 600ml garafas and little juice glasses.  They are the best and they are so so cold. 

Today, I am going to the Supermarket and then to our friends weekend house for lunch and play.  I will try to take some pictures of the good life in Brasil.    As much good there is bad, as much poor there is rich and as much fun there is sadness.  A balancing act.
