i love the warm bath suggestion... even have lots of nice scented bubble baths... but no tub. only a shower stall.

years ago when i moved here from the US, i saw staying with my parents as temporary - a stepping stone. for 3 years my life would be on hold it sucked but i expected it. during which however 9/11 the world fell apart and so did my plan of returning to the US. i had a countdown in Excel - to give you an idea what that meant to me. age and situation has changed that option.

it is hard to think of this as temporary, this time. instead, i think more of my few years in this apartment as a temporary reprieve, a period of denial of a sad and failing life.

well, anyway. my dad makes great vegetable soups and their bathroom has a tub.
