I realized yesterday that I have been in Moldova exactly a year and a half. A year and a half might not be much in the grand scheme of things, but to me it's a pretty significant amount of time. And since I always write about things I have done, I thought it might be fun to make a list of all the things I haven't done for the past 18 months.
--driven a car
--written a check
--gone a full day without speaking two languages
--cooked myself a meal
--worried about my finances
--used a dishwasher or dryer
--scrubbed a toilet (or done any household chores beyond cleaning my own room and washing my own dishes)
--drunk tap water
--played euchre (anyone who knows me well realizes I'm choking back tears as I'm writing this)
--bought myself clothes
--showered two days in a row
--paid a bill
--raked or mowed a lawn (for that matter, had a yard made of grass)
--picked up medicine at a pharmacy
--worn shoes inside a house
The funniest part about this list is that I actually had to think for awhile before coming up with it. These activities may have been things I once took for granted, but I certainly don't anymore!
