WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!! Well the weather sux, but I am in a great mood! My mom leaves today and will be here tomorrow. Think good thoughts for her as she is going to try to brave public transport all on her own to get to my flat. It will be an adventure for her!

I also received great news yesterday!!! A friend from work back in Glendale applied for a job here and got it!!! He will be moving here in June! I am soooooo very excited. I have been in a particularily bad homesick funk for the last week and this makes all the difference in the world!
