My Thumb Drive's Not Missing Anymore

I found it! It was in my jeans pocket! Yay. Let the pictures begin. But not yet because I don't have anything good yet.

I ran to the gym today. I thought I would share that because it might sound funny. Maybe not. It did to me because I'm still weak and probably shouldn't yet be doing much of anything. Stupid virus.

I'm going to see Swan Lake tonight at the theater.

I was talking to a guy who sells matroshkas (the nesting doll things) on one of the main roads last week, and he asked me if I was from Poland. Now, I know I sound and act like a foreigner, but that is one comment I was never expecting to get. Honestly, I think it would be awesome if the Russians thought I had a Polish accent because I think Polish is a better language anyway--it's clearer and always uses verbs in independent clauses (but don't tell them that...I still have two months left here).

Next weekend, we're all going to Yasnaya Polyana (where Leo Tolstoy lived) and Tula to see the museum and whatever all else there.

By the way, from now on, you all have to make sure that there are either zero comments or more than one comment on all of my posts because otherwise the "comments" section won't be right. I hate when I have a sentence or phrase without number agreement...

Thanks!

Success! I remembered my password! Please don't over work yourself while you're still sick or at least weak. Don't make me worry about you out there. :p Swan Lake at the theater, how sophisticated!
Don't worry about your thumb drive. It's always in the last place you look!
Stay out of trouble, can't wait to hear of more exciting adventures from you!

Of course you are from Poland! Just some generations back. We're all doing well. Sorry to hear that you are fighting some illness.

Grandma and the rest of us send our love.

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Take care of yourself. The theather sounds marvelous. Enjoy!

Words from the stegosaurus, " You finally understand that primitive people speak primitively" ... Would you rather be an American mistaken for a Polack in Russia, or an American in Russia? Consider it a compliment. I like stegosaurus because they're big, dumb and prically.
