My colleagues were asking me about my family and if I have been able to talk with anyone. So I tell them that I created a Blog so that I can communicate with everyone and that I talk to my Mom, sisters and Michael every once in a while. Then I tell them about my mom and her Blob story. They were all laughing....then Dawn (my manager here) pulls me aside and tells me "Lisa, I just wanted to make you aware that when you say Blob here it means That Time of the Month!!!" We were both cracking up...made the story that much funnier!
So anyways...I moved into my flat yesterday. I haven't unpacked completely yet, because I don't have a lot of storage space. I need to get some cheap bins or drawers for my clothes. Next week I am getting a UK bank account so that I can get my Internet hooked up and a TV. In the UK you have to get at TV license to have a TV in your home. And to do that you have to have a UK bank account and UK address. Weird...huh..a license to own a TV!
So Here are some pics of the place....
The Kitchen
The living room area
My Bed...it is hard...not the most comfortable bed!
My Bathroom
this last picture is my boiler...my water heater. It took me about 20 minutes last night to figure out how to get hot water. The boiler is in the kitchen and I have to turn it on and set it in order to get hot water and turn my central heat on. I'm looking everywhere in the bathroom, trying to figure out how to get hot water to wash my face! Here, you don't have a water heater on at all times, you only turn it on when you need it...makes sense...saves money...but I had no clue! The perks of the US! But, at least I get hot water...unlike Peru where I took cold showers for 6 weeks!
I am off to Amsterdam this evening to spend the weekend with Curtis. I am really looking forward to spending some time with Family!!! Everyone is great here, but there is nothing like friends and family! =)
I hope all is well with all of you. I love you and miss you all.
Becca I love you so much...even though you are thousands of miles away you are close to me in spirit...in my mind and my heart.
