Bland and boring

So in case you’ve been wondering what I’ve been up to all this week, unfortunately, I don’t have any exciting news for you. Mainly because my belly is still feeling quite sick and I’ve been attempting to nurse it back to health which means staying home a lot and not going out for lavish, delicious dinners. It’s getting a little better but just in case, I am sticking to rather bland and boring food, mainly consisting of potatoes and bread. Eating bland and boring food is making my life really bland and boring. The worst thing is that I am constantly starving. And feeling exhausted and completely drained of any energy. Today I spent a few hours in the city and once got home at 6pm, I had to take a long nap to feel a little more like a normally functioning person. All I want to do is just eat a sizzling chunk of shashlik and drink some beer. Due to all this starvation, I’ve been dreaming about American hamburgers -- my dreams consist of back yards, grills, and juicy, medium rare burgers. Fortunately, I have friends who happen to be burger lovers and we’ve already arranged for a burger munching get-together immediately upon my arrival to the States.

Speaking of arrival to the States, I would like to thank anyone who had kindly prayed to his/her god(s) and performed any other rituals to increase my chances of changing my departure day. My ticket has been extended and I will be going back in mid-August. A minor thing that took several visits to KLM and Airzena offices and my writing a really angry email to KLM. Although my travel agent claims it was all her doing but I really doubt it because no one has paid for my new tickets yet, so technically speaking, although I can leave later, I can’t until someone pays for my ticket. If my travel agent was so vigilant, shouldn’t the ticket be paid already? But whatever, a minor detail. Let’s hope that the latest rumors about changes in visa rules will work out in my favor because apparently, if you overstay your visa (which I have), they charge you a ton of money. According to the latest rumors, Americans now can stay up to 90 days, if anyone out there reading this can verify it, I would appreciate it. Clearly, I am too lazy to do so myself.

Oh man, I am starving. Time to fill up on some bread.
