The owner is charging her 20 euros. Now my student is not happy about this and I have a feeling she would like me to give a discount so she can go there for the night. I don’t think that is on really. It happened last year when I had another American student for 3 months and she travelled for a few days in the middle. She asked for a discount and I did but I thought it was cheeky.

Isn’t it funny how we can learn the most from teaching? I think it’s because it helps reiterate and enforce those truths solidly in our mind. And hearing other’s experiences and suggestions is so inspirational. I just love the interchange of encouragement and resources in the Kidlit writing community. <br /><br />P.S.

I didn't know about the surgery. I've done the kind of care you describe, with Alex. It IS exhausting. I'm not surprised to hear your mom is doing better. So glad. Take care of yourself, allow yourself little indulgences, and get sleep. You are such a good person, Dawn. That kind of energy heals.
