who says the sun doesn't shine in England?

It has been so great to see a blue sky!  It still gets cloudy and tips down rain, but the sun has been making more of an appearance, and it even feels warm at times! *gasp*.  The weather really does affect (or is it effect?) my mood.  Its funny, because I almost don't even realize it.  Looking back on the winter, I am now noticing how difficult it was for me having the night come at 4pm, and even then only gray skies all the time. Now that the sun comes out and it is lighter for longer, I need to spend more time soaking up the rays. I need my vitamin D!

Oh yeah, and the graphics were done by yours truly ;-)

I should probably post something.

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!
