euphonies' excitement!

The journey of a girl struggling to follow God's principles in a bottom-line world.

short stop

So, I have come to the embarassing point where I have to dare myself to be in bed before midnight, otherwise I will quite happily gradually wind down until the wee hours of the morning. And guess who's not a student anymore? :) The call to my parents to tell them how it went with the new renters will have to wait. Oh yeah, the appointment went well by the way.
.
Took me ages to get there as the burning sun on Saturday went into hibernation leaving rain, sleet and even snow this evening on the roads. They renters were precise and well-organized as ever and they already moved some stuff in!
.
Since the time is ticking on and I so need to get up early for devotions & strength, here's an article my dad sent me to cheer me up with the note "hey euph, Geneva's number two!"

LONDON (Reuters) - Zurich is the city with the highest quality of life in 2006, while Baghdad, for the third year running, has the lowest, a survey published Monday shows.

Geneva and Vancouver made the top three in the list compiled by human resource company Mercer while Bangui in the Central African Republic and Brazzaville, the capital of Congo Republic, joined Baghdad in the bottom three.

The top three cities in the list are all unchanged from last year.

Chicago is one of the biggest climbers in the rankings since 2005, rising to 41st from 52nd due to reduced crime rates, while Cairo is one of the biggest fallers, sliding nine places to 131st out of 215 cities.

So now I feel privileged - I guess that almost qualifies me for a full night's sleep. Or maybe I should rent a hotel in Zurich for the night? Whatcha think dad? Missin ya lots here.
