How much can it rain???

48 hours. Its been raining NON stop. I fear for the people down the hill.

We have a 4 day weekend. At the end of next week, I get to play hookie for a day and go to Bucharest for a visa run. Looking forward to that. After that I will be legal here in Bulgaria.

I spent the day with Oscar, watching baaaad TV, walking in the rain and napping. Napping is important if you are a dog. It fills up most of the day- 20 hours in fact if you are a Shi-tsu. I am coming back as a Shi-tsu in my next life- but to a good family who wont eat me, or tie me up to a doghouse all day and night.

Thank-God for the rain the Alsatian is indoors again. So Oscar and I have been sleeping well. The apartment is rahter cold. It was 18 degrees in there last night so today I went to the market and bought a small space heater. It pumps out a lot of heat.

Last night, 4 co-workers came over to play scrabble. Detelina, Albena, the Hebrew teacher whose name I always forget and Brent of course. Brent was playing for the second time in his life and he creamed us! Detelina who is our department head and very competitive was second, and she was not happy about it. Brent got "Quiz" on a double word score for a total of 42 points. So he learned how to say 42 in Bulgarian and has been taunting Detelina ever since. All he has to do is say 42 in Bulgarian and she gets mad all over again. Its great!

So Oscar met the Bulgarian delegation and now has new found friends who admire him greatly. As he should be admired! He got many treats, and I had to clean up after him in the yard. Bulgarian cheesies are vile. Even Oscar snubbed them after a while. I miss Cheetos!

I may not blog tomorrow. Brent, Detelina and I are thinking of going to Arbenasi, a village near here that is supposed to be very nice. I hope we get some break from this rain. I want tot ake photos.

Will blog Saturday.
