Somehow I thought that I would write more this week, but it seems that I have been keeping a busier social schedule than I should or planned. Of course, I love having someone to have dinner with regularly and go out and do things with, but it does not lend itself to me getting other things done! hehe. Oh well.

Anyway, work-wise, the week was fine. There were some interesting moments at the ZOO with our ‘convocation’ – if it can truly be called that – with our president not saying a single word in English thus alienating about 2/3 of the faculty and staff who do not speak Arabic. It was a clear message: Β our time is limited here, so we better enjoy it and in the meantime we will need to be held accountable and responsible to follow the policies and procedures set before us (that was the part that was actually translated on the large screen). So…with that in mind, I am more and more focused (yes, it takes this kind of motivation) to get my finances in order and ensure I am safe to leave when the time comes. Classes are good though and the students are starting to bother us as is typical of week 2. πŸ˜‰ Just another 3 before our next holiday, so I think I will make it. πŸ˜€

Life-wise all is also good. I’ve been spending a lot of time with P since she is single in AD during the weekdays and spends her weekends in Dubai with her honey. Since I’m without my own honey, we’re living it up as single ladies. πŸ˜‰ This week was lovely with our dinners and ladies’ night out. I’m cooking a bit more and actually relaxing for the most part.

Emotionally, well, I miss my baby a lot. We talk regularly though, which is good and so this phase will pass eventually and he’ll be back to driving me nutty at home again.

Mentally, I’m still in processing mode. So, updates will come as the processing works through.

So…that’s the weekly update. Maybe I’ll be more focused this next week…. πŸ˜‰
