Moving

Well, Leyla has moved out.  Well, her stuff is still here and she's going to pick it up tomorrow, but in all other ways she's already gone. :(  Natalie has moved the last of her stuff in (including the crazy cat, Dilly!), but but she hasn't put it all away yet.  She wanted to move out of her other flat as soon as possible because another woman just moved her stuff in last night. *sigh*  Things are going to be different without Leyla living here, but I really love Natalie, so it should be OK.  

After three weeks of freezing cold, rain, and snow it now is starting to feel like SPRING! I know that it's kind of a false alarm and that it'll still get cold again, but I can't help but feel excited for warmth. :) I'm excited to clean up the balcony and buy a small grill to put out on the table out there. I'm excited to go out without a coat again.  And flip-flops! yay for being able to wear those again soon.  The coming nice weather has reminded me again of all of the reasons I love Istanbul (it's so very easy to forget about them in the depression of an Istanbul winter), and it all the more reminds me that in 2 months and about 20 days I'm coming home. It seems so unreal. And sad.

I understand your sadness, but I'm so excited that you're coming HOME!! Yay! I miss you so much. Everyone was over last night for fried chicken and dad said that it seemed like you should be walking in the door........missing you, and loving you: MOM

She moved out because she's not working at Dilko anymore, so she can't get free accommodation anymore from them. She's wants to just give private lessons now and is going to live with one of her private students for free.
