With every bad there is always one good that follows...and vice versa. I went to the high school yesterday and was able to civilly talk with the administrative director about my contract renewal. We came to an agreement which is in my favour. They accepted my proposal and it seems as though I will be starting this coming Monday, if everything goes as planned that is. As most of you know, Italy is the land where nothing quite goes as planned. Now getting back to the vice versa part. I was planning on enjoying my last few days as a free woman, when BAM, I caught a fever bug. My temperature was running at 101 yesterday afternoon so I treated myself to some warm milk and honey and crawled right in bed. My husband came home and made me some fantastically savory vegetable soup, what we call Brodo, and then I hopped back into bed to begin reading Gulliver's Travels (a book club assignment that I keep putting off, if any of you have read it you'll know why). Pasquale called all of my students for today's lessons telling them that I was to stay in bed in order to get well quickly. He is a genius when it comes to dirty work. This morning I feel a heap better and as soon as I eat my daily grapefruit I'm sure I'll be good to go. To make a long story short: Just the thought of going back to those high school halls makes my temperature rise! I did however catch Kenton on his birthday. His famous words were "But Megan how are you going to eat dinner with a thermometer in your mouth?"
Here are some of our summer vacation pictures, dedicated to all of you of course, because we miss you so much and always reminisce about our time together. Erin, this morning I caught Pasquale browsing your blog...for the illienth time!
