15 days to vacation

It's been almost a month since I last wrote. What has changed?:) I'm much closer to my vacation.....yei. Work has slowed down a little bit, the summer is in full heat to be precise...close to 90 degrees every day. But most of the time I'm not feeling it, because I'm at work infront of my faithfull computer or at home again by the computer or in bed trying to catch up on sleep that I never have enough. My plans for buying my own place have faded in the far background. Things that seemed simple, turned out to be more complicated. More roommates are in order and more renting in order before I get a place to call my own, but maybe it isn't so bad, maybe meeting new people again will benefit me in one way or another long term. New people, new relationships, new experiances.
...I recently found the advantage of Goodwill shopping and I believe will indulge in this positive factor also this coming weekend. My favorite cousin is getting married and I need to look for little trifly things to take with me to Latvia. I got her already a gift, a cheap treasure find:) for marely $30.00. Now the problem is to get it in one piece to Latvia. Who knows what treasures this saturday shopping will bring:)
Would like to go and see the new Johny Depp movie and realize again how lucky some women are:) to be married to Johny Depp:) he he he. But mostly I'm looking forward to seeing my family again, my mom, my country, my apartment (which will need lots of prep work to be rented out), my friends and new clubs to go to and discover. I was advised the club that was hot last year in Riga isn't so hot anymore, so there is more to discover.

I was writting a post card to my dad this morning. Trying to warn him of my personality. It will be a major emotional turmoil once I get to Bulgaria. How do you get to know someone from scratch in 10 days. Someone you should have been knowing your whole life? I know I tend to be resistant and hesitant and cinical at the outstart of the reletionship expecially if I'm expected to show my feelings. And in a case of building father-daughter relationship I can see it can't be avoided. I'm not sure what it will bring. I guess it would be too selfish to wish for beautiful days at beech and getting a tan. I will probably need to spend time learning about my new family, trying not to offend them and trying not to be offended myself. Trying to understand what they expect from me and what have I gotten myself into by trying to bridge a 24 year old gap and giving us all a second chance at getting to know each other.


I finally got my GC from USCIS and it brought a huge sigh of relief. Now the next step is coming to restore myself to full independence and try to find happyness again somewhere somehow. How- is not known, but I appreciate all the things that have been tought to me in the process and for what I've observed in the process. The life is the best school one can go through.
