Today so many good things happened. First I got my replacement bank and credit cards in the mail (lost my wallet a while ago). They arrived at the international office while we were busy celebrating a birthday. Nothing like cake and champagne and credit cards laid out in front of you.
Later, the Hungarians finally made me Gulash. Along with a little bit of Istvan's family made fruity palinka liqour, it created a beautiful warm happiness in my stomach and brain and made my apartment smell much better than usual. They told me how in the village gulash is stewed in a big cauldron, like witch soup, and it takes a really long time so you have to drink a lot of palinka while you make it. I'm glad I got a little taste of this tradition.
Then, in the midst of gulash preparation, my internet magically came back to life! SO HAPPY ABOUT THIS. A little scared it might disappear again. Dear internet: I will never never take you for granted, I promise, don't leave me.
I'm feeling very happy to be once again 100% hooked up to all the channels that allow me to feel comfortable with my position in the world. I'm also feeling well fed and ready for bed.
