Day 135: Honey Cheese & Wine

After private classes, I went and bought THREE honey goat cheeses. Oh. My. Goodness. I am IN LOVE with honey goat cheese! You get a freshly baked baguette, slice it up, grab a cute little spread knife, and bathe your bread in the soft, sweet cheese of the gods! I continue to thank Rika for her inspirations - and I would have never looked at the cheese aisle and found Mercadona's Best Kept Secret had I not done so!

I did a bit mor grocery shopping before catching the bus back home. In no time I was back in my cozy room, chatting and giggling with Abby and Katie, passing around the bottle of bubbly rose I had just purchased for a whopping €1.69 (total average price of wine here, by the way! In all honestly, roomies and I consider wine over €2.50 to be expensive. The most expensive win you can usually find is around €6. Now you see why I love living in this country!! Haha!). In my last class of the day, a student in my 1st grade class gave me a (rather late) Christmas present - a sampling of fancy chocolates! ^_^ And so, I gave Abby and Katie some chocolate along the the wine, too. :) I absolutely love being at home with those girls, just talking and giggling... Especially when in bring such great refreshments! ;)

Later on in the night I got to Skype B, which made me really happy... At least, at first. I love talking to B and he always makes me giggle. I remember one time, when he was still in Madison, I got upset and told him I was sure that when he went back to Brazil, he would forget all about me and we would never talk. He assured me that would never, ever happen. That friendships have always been extremely important to him. Three years later and we still talk all the time. ^_^ Awesome.

Anyway, at some point I asked him flat out why he didn't seem excited about me considering moving to Brazil. What followed was two hours of slightly intense conversation, which, in the end, left me feeling... Upset? Depressed? Lost? Confused? All off those words are too strong... Because, in reality, it was 3 am when I went to bed finally and half of me was just a sleep walking zombie by that point... Let's just say I felt like I was in a fog of ineffable forlornness.

And this fog followed me like a rain cloud I just couldn't shake the whole next day...
