Some how I survived the week that was – albeit, barely. And, I must confess, that I missed the birthday party. By Friday afternoon, I was plum exhausted and made my way to find the birthday colleague, to whom I simultaneously congratulated and gave my regrets. Since Friday was a gym day, I force myself […] A few years ago I was in Washington DC, walking down the street, playing the part of tourist, when I came upon some locals – people playing football in the park, jogging down the streets, carrying groceries home. I was envious – these were people who get to live every day in a fabulous city […] It’s hard to explain but I am really feeling fragile right now. I think that I’m back to square one on my apartment search, plus I need to acquire a ton of paperwork, including my Schufa—the German equivalent of a credit report.

It comes as a constant surprise to people who know me well that when push comes to shove, I’m actually a huge introvert. Unless I have some plausible reason to talk to a stranger, I don’t. Even when I do have a […] Sometimes it is brought home to me exactly how different my view of the world is compared to most other people. Where's the Crisco?
