lounge weekend

After an active week at work and Stefan being off, we went to a very nice relaxed dinner party at our friends house. Great fajitas! And dessert! The walk home literally took less than 5 minutes.

Yesterday we had plans to go out to Red Square but one of our friends got sick and we ended up lounging around most of the day. I listened to classical music in the morning, folk rock in the afternoon, and R&B and rock in the evening. The kids played Wii and socialized out with friends on the embassy compound. I did manage to complete a continuing education course on line on diabetes (required to keep my license updated) and got to the gym with Dina for a work out. So basically a lazy weekend for us.

We are finally getting two people on board this coming week that we hired. So hopefully the work load will ease up for the nurse and administrative assistant. It took half a year to hire them and we're still down a nurse. We've managed good patient care but the ordering of supplies and routine administrative issues have fallen to the way side. Now we can get back up to speed.

I travel to Yekaterinburg in the Ural's in a few weeks.

    Hi all, I just stumbled across your blog and have enjoyed reading! You guys are inspiring, and calming some of my fears/concerns/excitement regarding my own recent appointment as a FSHP. I have a “tentative” assignment to Kiev in July, but still no contract and all the beaurocratic stuff is enough to make one nutty! I guess all will be okay, but just so you know, your musings and your faithfulness with this thing have made a difference, at least to me. Anything you think I should know, feel free to offer advice, I’ll be traveling with my husband and one-year-old twins. Though I live in DC now, I call Seattle home! How’s the coffee in Russia?
