Ot SASHTS

Yes, my friends, that is how you say "from the United States." As in, Az se ot SASHTS, or I am from the United States.

Today, I had a very significant victory. Not only did I work on my alphabet more, I also sounded out many a word. It was like a whole new world opened up to me. For instance, the yogurt I eat is called Dannon Balance. Who knew?

However, in even bigger news, today I used Bulgarian to get medicine for my sick husband! Without a phrase book!

Alright...not really that big of deal. I simply told the nice pharmacy lady, Az govorya Engleeski, and we took it from there.

My husband, I said, has grip (flu) and I showed her my cut. I returned triumphantly with some Bulgarian TheraFluish stuff and a bottle of peroxide.

AND...I realized that I can now order cafe (with milk and sugar), three types of tea, shopska salads and tomato (domat) all in Bulgarian.

I feel set.

Oh, and for those of you who are wondering, Nathan's fever broke this afternoon, but I think he still has another 3-4 days ahead of sickness.
