The school told us not to bring B back 'till Monday.

She isn't acting all that sick. I'm hoping we can just Lego's all day. I know that's probably not going to happen, buttttt i refuse to watch anymore tellytubbies. at least I get to sleep in a little.

Welp

i was going to go to Como today and then take the ferry to Bellagio. i got the the train station right before my train was supposed to be there, the time printed on my ticket when i bought it said 11.40 instead of 11.28 so i waited a bit. it never showed up. i was the only on there for the longest time. eventually a lady showed up and after a few minutes i asked her if it was late or not coming or what. she said it would be like, 20 more minutes. there was no workers around or anything. the window in the building had a sign up and i couldn't read it. 30 minutes later the lady i had asked  said something really dramatically and left. so i figured that meant it wasn't coming. so I'm not in Bellagio today. so i had a nice walk to a from the train station today. i really like walking everywhere.

There is a horse right around the corner from the house. I always forget about it and then I'll hear it and be like "holy crap wtf was that" and remember. I find it so random there's just a horse hanging out in the yard. Her name is Trixy I think.

a few random things since i haven't updated anything

i left one month ago. i haven't "been here" one month until tomorrow technically. all the same to me though. it feels like it's only been a week. 100% does not feel like a month.

i changed all my bedding this morning and its so nice to not have cat hair everywhere. I have to shut the door every time i leave and I feel bad about it... but I'd rather not have hair on everything.

some days I'd really like to be functional without my glasses. today I just don;t want to wear them. i'm sitting with my computer three inches from my face so i can see what I'm typing. i think I've gotten to know the house well enough that i can manage most things with out them if i need to, but today is just a day where my eyes don't want to focus on anything. my bedding is different shades of pink, purple, green, blue and yellow swirly flower things...and with the lighting in the room through the window it looks so nice blurry when i don;t have glasses on.

i am still really bad at Italian. The girl next door (i think she's 7) has taught me a lot. not really taught me but I've picked up more from her than anyone else. i know more than I think i do. but i'll flat out say i have no motivation to learn it. i don't like the way it sounds and it still hurts my brain. listening to conversations has gotten easier and i'm getting better at figuring out what people are talking about.

I had Japanese food for the first time on Thursday, it was iffy... i think i like Chinese better. i had some raw salmon and some smoked salmon. along with a soup that i cant remeber what it was. i think it had seaweed and tofu in it. i thought it tasted like ginger though.

i bought postcards, like, last week and all ive done is put addresses on them. i havent wrote nything because a)i dont know what to and b) theres only and inch of space. i loked up online and it cost 85 cents or something to send them to the US. i have 5 i think. so itll be almost 5 euro. maybe ill go monday to do them.

At first I really liked the church bells

that ring all the time. for the most part I still do. When it's on the hour or half hour and it's one or two strikes or whatever. or however many for the hour (it's nice when I'm not around a clock) but i can not for the life of me figure out this schedule they are on where they play super long songs (idk what to call them. one sounds like a nursery rhyme i know but cant think of the name of right now... but anyway) 7:15am it'll rings on the weekends. for like, a full 5 minutes. I'm only writing this because it started a few minutes ago (I'm not exaggerating, like 3 whole minutes ago...and it's still going...) the church isn't that far away, but I think it's kind of on a hill, so it sounds like it's right next to my window. Which is awesome when I want to sleep in. It just stopped. I wonder if they something that automatically does it, or an actual person rings it?

the one thing I wanted at the market didn't have a price on it. I didn't want it bad enough to ask. So i walked around until my feet hurt. which wasn't long. I'm so tired you have no idea. I think it's the elevation here. I'm always tired. I forgot to get a few postcards from there though. poo.

It took me a hot minute but....

I just figured out how to make the pictures bigger.
hopefully they look a little better now.
I think I'm going to Como in like, 10 minutes. I still haven't made up my mind. we'll see in 10 minutes I guess.
