I am exhausted and it's only 2:30! Today I went to nanny at 9:30 am. On the schedule for today, was a list of activities outside of the house; the family is currently remodeling, and the house is full of workers and construction equipment. I picked up Victoria and took a walk about Merivale, the suburb they live in. We stopped by a toy store, and picked out a small princess figurine and a jumprope. Next, we visited the Merivale Mall to stop at a cafe so Victoria could get a 'fluffy'. When her mother told me to get her a 'fluffy', I had to ask what it was. I was thinking: ice cream? cotton candy? Turns out, a fluffy is a hot foamy milk that's whipped. It's like the top part of a cappuccino. They serve it in a tiny teacup with two flat marshmallows. It was entertaining watching her eat the fluffy, with the mustache and all.
The small suburb of Merivale is merry indeed. We found a grassy space with lots of trees where we tried out the new jumprope and hung out for a while. Our last adventure for the day was at a lovely park where we spent some time swinging, on the merry-go-round, and sliding. The parks had lots of paths with beautiful trees and flowers. A few raindrops started falling, and our morning was complete.
After my morning at work, I bussed over to the mall to pick up a few things. I figured at this point, I deserved a Dr. Pepper, since I've started working. Although it's $2 a can, I justified my purchase of the coveted import by a job well done this week. I picked up some sushi, and headed home (hostel-bound) to rest for the afternoon. I'm always discovering new things here, and while walking back from the bus stop I came across a man mowing his lawn with an electric mower! It was plugged into an extension cord that was coming out of the window of his home. I had never seen anything like that before!
This working has got me tired! Amadeus and I are relaxing, watching Oprah and Ellen, and blogging. More soon!
