I missed a day!

But considering I have been posting every day and that I was very busy yesterday (and highly dependent on the schedules of others), it's not so surprising and I don't feel very bad about missing it.
So I kibitzed with FormerRoomie (who is until the 23rd of this month, CurrentRoomie), and it was nice to get a perspective from a slightly more objective point of view. But whether or not we're paid up through the end of the month, I have to be out of the appartment by the 23rd. And I'm on my own, more or less, for this weekend. Maybe I'll get to see Prince Caspian. That would be nice! So I'm working the job search- I have things to reply to on the aupair site and a possible lead on an au pair job in Belgium. I really hope things work out. Really, really hope that something works out because if it doesn't, AF here I come. It's been great to be out of the house. I hate to say it, but it's true. I had my first night of good sleep in a week last night. I slept like a log. Maybe I won't be sleeping so well if I don't have something more definite by Wednesday, but we'll see. I have a fair number of leads to follow, and I'm praying and have the prayers of others backing me up. I have rediscovered something important for imrama- remény.
B, if you're out there, how do you say "I have hope"? Is remény the stem form?

So after all the angst, a lighter post- a summary of my day yesterday:
Got up at 5.40, caught the 6.29 bus to DC, arrived at Metro Center at 7.45, and rode the Metro back and forth from Rosslyn to Vienna until almost 10!
Heh... It was either that or go out to stand on the platform in the rain. That didn't seem like as much fun as riding on the nice, dry Metro. So I got my $4.25 worth!
