April 7, 2024 - people running a race in the park yesterday for World Health Day, which is today (is that why wellbeing was chosen for this day?)
April 6, 2024 - the weather yesterday afternoon was wild. first it was super windy and looked like this, like a duststorm blew in. The dust lasted about an hour, then blue/gray clouds came in, and it started to sprinkle, which turned to snow. After 5 minutes, the precipitation stopped
April 4, 2024 - I just really wanted to post this picture, okay?! sorry that I currently live at a high elevation and it’s still too early for foliage…at least I included trees, so you can just imagine leaves 😂
April 3, 2024 - behind on my own prompt 😂 a page from the basically national Kyrgyz 5th grade English textbook that had a birthday lesson with vocabulary words which we worked with this week including “birthday card“
April 1, 2024 - toy. can’t remember if I posted this guy before. He’s technically an ornament, and one word for ‘ornament’ in Russian is игрушка, which can also mean “toy”, so this picture feels like a win to me for the prompt 😁
March 31, 2024 - I helped the librarian fix her computer again. she asked, “what do you like? I’m going to (nearby city) tomorrow, so I want to buy you something”. I said chocolate. about 2 weeks later, she gave me this…opened. it seems she had taken one for herself, which I thought was funny
March 30, 2024 - approached this ATM which was displaying this screen. it was not clear how much longer I would have to подожди (wait, in Russian), so I went to a different ATM instead 😂
March 29, 2024 - a lamb that was born before spring break. you can see the fresh paint on its head between its eyes - my host mom had done it that day
March 28, 2024 - my ticket (is that what we call this kind of paper? I don’t remember..) from Monday when I went to the US embassy to submit a passport renewal application
March 27, 2024 - went out for brunch. this was after we had eaten the 2 tacos we ordered in addition 😬 but everything was soo good. I know this cafe is owned by a foreigner, I think an American?
March 25, 2024 - today’s breakfast: блины (Russian pancakes) with сүмөлөк (pudding-like dessert eaten around the Nooruz holiday)
March 21, 2024 - thought this design on my tissue was a nice, cute touch. then I proceeded to decorate it with my mucus
March 19, 2024 - my host family got a new vacuum cleaner! I think I’ve never been so excited for a new vacuum cleaner in my life
