In preparation for the renovation, I used up about 15 vacation days in November and December of last year, which means I only worked 3-4 days a week during that period, which means I had not worked a 5-day week since the beginning of November, which really means this week felt like an eternity.... I am glad the week is finally over!
Samy has been homesick for the last couple of days, which is strange considering we are only 8 KM away from home.... So we took him to see the house this evening. Kids always amaze me, although they don't usually show their emotions, they often say what adults only dare to think! His first reaction was that this was not our house anymore, which may sound silly at first, but when your house is occupied by people you don't know, the equipment you have never seen before and also has a different layout, then such a comment may not sound as weird. He was also unhappy with the colour of the walls, because they were too "brown". He said we were lucky that he had picked the colour of his own room, otherwise we would have ended up with another brown room!
The walls are not brown and the house is still ours; I don't think he is trying to be difficult, he just misses home!
So when he says that he does not like the shower in our apartment, because the water sometimes gets too hot and turns his butt into "shish kebab", you should probably just laugh with him....
