Monday.
Library closed today, so no internet. It was smidzina all day today, so it was hard to motivate to go outside, but in the afternoon I went on my run, and of course, it felt great. Other than that, mom and I just hung out in the kitchen or living room all day - chatting. In the evening, Nagite came over for a little bit, and the two of them talked about how difficult life is. I knitted and listened, and kept my mouth shut. Later, I decided that I should either watch TV or listen to the radio more, so I can hear more Latvian - so I watched Ugunsgrēks (Housefire), a Latvian nighttime soap, and mom's favorite.
Word...................................aizver muti! = shut your mouth! (apparently, it's the "new" thing to say in Rīga!
Dish......................................raugu pankukas (pancake batter made with yeast). mom had the dough ready for me when I got back the night before. I added tomatoes and onions and ate savory pancakes for dinner.
Highlight.................................getting outside
Lowlight.................................none really. quiet day was nice after the weekend in Rīga.
Random observation..............................the weather always looks worse from inside a warm house.
