November 19, Thursday was a good day overall... Woke up around 11am, stayed in bed for longer... finally got up around 1 and walked to an old "office cafe" Malasartes in Plaza Serrano with Irina and Lee (who came from Chicago on Wednesday) As I have declared that day to be a "pleasure day" I didnt do any technical writing. I decided to start writing a new story... Without a specific idea in mind, I started typing...(in Turkish) I wrote for the next 3hours and currently am pretty curious about my character. She seems interesting and I hope as I get to know her, she doesnt disappoint me. This alone, the ability to spend time writing satisfied me and made me happier than I have been in a while. In the evening, we had dinner at an amazing restaurant by our house: SUSHI!! The waitress was a pretty hot and she took good care of us. As we got home, we rebuilt the energy to go out to a milonga... after consecutive showers, picking outfits and make up; we were ready around 1am to leave the house.. We walked to a milonga and faced utter disappointment. There was noone at Salon Canning. Without even going in, we continued to the next one: La Viruta. An other semi-disappointment. La Viruta who is always filled with charming dancers appeared like a room full of the readers of "How to Dance Tango for Dummies". I had a good dance with Rod, a friend from Chicago and a beer. Rod brought my new bank card: Finally I am independent again!....We returned home at 3 and went to bed.

November 20: Today was a bad day. I am tired (yet I am suppose to meet a friend of mine in a short while), Lee had some emergency health problems which scared us and we had to spend some time in the hospital, I didnt really accomplish any work or writing today, I spent a loooong time online searching for tickets (to Iguazu) and on the phone... Not much accomplishment there either. I have to physically go to the office to buy the tickets by 1pm tomorrow...argh....
