a quick entry

hi, there. just wanted to let everyone know that things are going well. i took a "vacation" day today, because i quit my tuesday-thursday job at the aldea rosario. gisella, my 23 year old "nieta" accompanied me there on tuesday, and she was so appalled at the situation, she told me i wasn´t allowed to go back. it was good to have my own suspicions confirmed. so, i´m looking for work starting next tuesday. actually, i already have another place lined up--a bit of a ride, but i think i´m going to get to work with babies!!! hooray!!!!

i cooked lunch for the family today--my first time. we had curried chicken salad (one of emily´s favorites), and i think it went over pretty well. i´m attaching a photo here (if i can).

best to you all, and please keep writing.
