Yeah, I know, I'm horrible at the blog thing. Once the excitement of going somewhere new wears off, its just life. I hate it when people ask "if your life were a movie, who would you get to play yourself?" (not like I get asked this question all the time...) I usually answer, if my life were a movie, nobody would go to see it!
Anyway, life here has been going. I'm settled in my new house. Its just me at the moment, so I am trying to enjoy my time alone. Last week I had two house guests. One was a hampster that I was watching while his family was away. The other was (a person) from a different office here for meetings. It was so nice to have her, and have someone else in the house.
Work here in the office has been a bit slow. I love it when it's busy--it gives me more energy, and I become absorbed in the work and time flies. When it's slow like this I just feel tired. I've been helping with different projects, but they all seem to pause at the same time, so there are stretches when I feel a little useless. However, I will be going abroad soon for a few weeks to help out a different field, so I am excited to get some travel in! More about that to come.
Also, I need to remember to take more pictures!
I'm glad you are doing well! How easy/difficult is the adjustment to actually living in UK rather than just visiting? Have you met/seen any stranger characters? Find any good "hot spots"? Is it as expensive as I think it is? lol
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you! Well, I think the adjustment is not much different from moving far away from home anywhere else. I miss my friends and family, but am slowly making new friends from where I work and church. No strange characters, but the Cumbrian accent is quite difficult to make out sometimes. Its like "I thought we both spoke English???" It has "hot spots" like Fredericksburg has "hot spots" LOL. And yes, everything is more expensive. Especially since the dollar is not doing so great at the moment.
