busy busy busy!

I've been 'job seeking' in Denmark for a while now, and it's funny how, while being technically unemployed, you can still be overwhelmed with work, tasks, classes etc. I'm one that likes to keep busy, for sure, but seriously, I don't know where all the tasks keep coming from!

I'm using Airbnb a lot lately, and that is keeping me incredibly busy. All the back and forth emails, room preparation, talking to guests etc. takes a lot of time. It's very satisfying to have a small independent source of income, and I also LOVE being a great host, but man is it ever a job and a half.

On the plus side, my female guests just disposed of the coffee grounds down the toilet and polished up the pot like I do afterwards. Sometimes innate female capacities for knowing the considerate thing to do make me so happy.

What with interview preparation, job hunting, bed sheet and towel washing (it. is. constant) 8km cycles to and from town, distractingly sunny days and the endless Danish homework, I have been oh so very busy.

I'm also beginning a dance class tonight, and will hopefully be teaching Leo how to sing. 

But, hey, this just came in the post, wrapped in a burlap sack:

I am so very happy now!

april is here

It's time for planning, writing applications, searching for jobs, learning Danish, rearranging the furniture, impromptu trips, and life-changing decisions.

Come one, come all!

I wish there were more hours in the day.
