All is right with the world again...

... because Celine is back! She's currently wafting through the air from some seriously big speakers somewhere in the vicinity. There's just something about her that's somehow become comforting. Every night in my dreams, Celine, I see you, I hear you. That is how I know you go on...

AND, I had quite the conversation today with Nadia, who works with us in the guesthouse. It was a long conversation, completely in Arabic, and I think, if I understood correctly (which is entirely possible that I did NOT!), I will be getting some pumpkin plants this week :) It's just so much fun to be able to actually communicate something that I actually wanted to communicate with someone who, last year, I wasn't able to communicate with hardly at all. Of course, I still have SO much to learn, but I really feel like for some of the basic day to day, very basic communication, I'm starting to be able to get by in Arabic only! It's really amazing to me to realize this... and is almost motivating enough to make me pick up my note book and study once in a while. Almost.
