Messin’ with Texas

Current Mood: Sickly

Sorry I don’t have much time today for a proper post, so this will be short.

1. Weight Set: We got a weight set in the apartment and Baris and I have started using it. The past two mornings in a row we got up at 7am and did about 45 minutes worth of anaerobic exercise. We plan to try to stick to this schedule during weekdays.

2. Still Jogging: I have been continuing to jog. The other day when I was going to go jogging Murat’s uncle, Ahmed, insisted I let him take me down to the shore and that I run there. Murat said Ahmed is worried that a dog will attack me (there are a few stray dogs here and there). So we went down to the shore, I did a quick 2km and then Ahmed and i went and ate. We were later joined by Murat, Baris and the vice president of the municipality we live in. It was kind of cool meeting him, and although we can’t really communicate too well, we had fun. Since the actual president of this municipality made a joke about Attaturk, this guy is the acting president.

3. Sick: I got really sick last night an almost threw up at the restaurant. I am feeling better today, but am still not doing that well. I want to go home and go to sleep.

4. Payday: I got paid yesterday! All in cash, in a white, unmarked envelope. Felt like a drug deal or something.

5. Rock Climbing: Since Baris and Murat are going to visit a friend in the army tomorrow, I going rock climbing with Izzy all day. I am looking forward too it. I really hope I am back up to 100% in time.

6. Antimoda: Murat’s uncle took me around to the other companies that rent space from us. One of them is a textile company run by a Turk who grew up in Germany. They are all very nice and always bring us tea every time we go up there. Today they let out the waist on my suit pants for free!

7. Germany Trip: The company needs someone in Germany on Thursday to take care of some stuff relating to our crates. So instead of going Friday afternoon, I am going Wednesday morning to Germany. That means I will be in Germany for 12 days! Hopefully we make many good contacts while there.

8. Appolgies: Sorry I don’t have any new pictures. I have been very busy trying to finish these catalogs.
