Another day, another dollar, er, I mean, riyal...

The lesson observation went well and I was told was "successful," although I am waiting for the meeting at which we will discuss specific points and area in which I can improve.  There is always room for improvement.  
More dust, more dangerous driving, more same old, same old.  I miss my kids and grandkids so much.  Yesterday on the way to work (my early day when I leave before 7 to be there by 8), I used my horn and cursed more than since I arrived!  People were especially rude and ridiculously risky drivers yesterday....driving over curbs to wedge themselves between cars, cutting in front, flashing their lights....some days there just isn't enough humor to make it all the way to work.  I wish I could just slap people, but the best I can do is vent my rage inside my car and watch out for the other guy!  I wish Nelson could drive me to work every day....I hate it so much sometimes!  It's just another sacrifice I have to make...
Today is hump day for me....my Tuesday is like Wednesday back home.  That's not so bad, I guess.  My week will be over half finished when I get home tonight.  Nelson has been making me delicious hot meals every night....stir fries with lots of fresh vegetables, sometimes with added cheese and pasta, sweet and sour, bbq, and all kinds of interesting concoctions.  He used hoisin sauce in a beef dish this week.  It's always delicious and twice as much so because he made it with his own hands!
Anyway, time to get ready for work.  I wanted to take a minute and post something.  I will try to be more conscientious about posting regularly.
