Learning to use one of something until it's gone: Days 36-37

Best part of the last two days: STARTING WORK!

Worst part of the last two days: finishing the last cube of my giant Tres Suenos chocolate bar. But, in reality, that just means it's time to break out the cookies. (:

Yesterday I was able to sleep in and wake up at a leisurely pace before work began. I arrived at the office on time, and without problem, and entered into the office.
The area in which I work is on the 9th floor of an office building right by the port here in Buenos Aires that is called Puerto Madero. Cool location, very cool. And the view is pretty spiffy, even though it is only 9 floors.
I kind of share a desk with a really sweet young lady, and all the Communications department is already welcoming me with open arms. The project they gave me to start is writing descriptions for the promotional YouTube videos that they have for Globant (the company).
After work, I came home and made dinner, and shared about my day with my family, and also all the friends here who have taken me into their concern.

This morning I went back to the gym, cleaned up, and headed out the door to work. I went earlier today (at noon, until four) to allow time for the music class in the villa that I love to help with.
Today I continued with my video description work, received my Globant ID card, and turned in paperwork. It was soooooooo fun! At one point, a lady the desk in front of me waved me down and asked me how to say the opposite of worthless. Valoroso? Valuable, of course. :) Love it love it love it!
Directly from work I went to the neighborhood of the church to go to music class. Unfortunately, by a combination of factors (including M making homemade ravioli today!) we were a bit too late to allow sufficient time for the class. So, we'll go Friday.
Instead, we went to pick up M's BEAUTIFUL son at the apartment of V, another church friend--a fantastic single mom with two boys who I am slowly but surely converting to best friends. :) We had mate, and snacks (bread with cream cheese, peach jam, and dulce de leche in various combinations) and it was lovely.
Then it was time for Bible study, and what a great time that was, as always. I love Mrs. Z's style of teaching and her presence in the classroom. And also, tonight there was a bit more discussion than usual, and I liked that a lot.
I made it home by myself on the subte, and had warmups for dinner. Then chocolate and cookies. Mala, but oh well. There's yoga at 8:30 tomorrow morning, and I'm going. :)

Shalom! xoxo

  1. Is it a good sign that the receptionist didn't ask you the opposite of valuable :-) I'll take that as a sign you're doing well!

    How was yoga?

  2. Yes I love that you had, and enjoyed, warmups. One of my favorite improvisation activities in life.

    Be well. We miss you.
