So much for my return to the blogging world.  To be fair, I did just recently get my internet set up.  And things have been just a tish busy since then.  To summarize: I am now in my 3rd week of real work, I am completely unpacked and my apartment is all set up, I have started volunteering again, and life is speeding by rapidly.  Things are, overall, going wonderfully.  I absolutely love my apartment; it feels so huge for a 1 bedroom!  But I can’t tell you how wonderful it feels to actually be unpacked.  All of the junk I own in one spot and set up and put away…it’s amazing.  And luckily there are huge perks to the hand-me-downs of being third born and I actually am fully furnished.  I’m very happy in it

Work is also going well, altho of course it is a difficult job.  But not that much.  The rest of the staff is incredibly supportive.  And it’s pretty easy to remember that the girls have issues going on and that’s why they’re acting out.  The hours are long, and definitely not worth the pay, but it usually goes by pretty quickly because there is a schedule.  I’ve made a ton of mistakes, I am sure, but I really do feel like I am learning *so much*, so it’s wonderful.

Speaking of learning, I am gradually upping my cooking knowledge.  Nothing crazy or huge yet, but actual real meals.  Of course, the downside to this is that I have a ton of leftover food that inevitably does not all get eaten before it goes bad.  But I try to eat most of it.

Otherwise, things are good.  Real blogesq posts to come after this dull update about my life.
