I’m slowly getting settled into my new apartment and am so happy with it! It’s not so bad for not having been remodeled and I think it’ll be easy to keep warm in the winter since it’s so small. I also have an extra room I’m going to use as an “exercise room” though it’s a little too small to jump rope so I’ll have to come up with another exercise routine. I could jump rope in my entryway to the building, but I haven’t gotten up the nerves to do that yet! Luckily I’m on the first floor right above a store, so any exercise noises won’t be bothering anyone below me!
I’m still figuring out the water schedule and other quirks of the place, but overall I’m pretty happy with it. I spent all day yesterday cleaning and just have the floors left to do before I feel like I’ve done what I can. Since the building’s old it just feels dirty no matter how much I clean, but at least I know I’ve done my best!
This weekend I’ll venture out to buy more necessities and I will attempt to cook my first “real” meal tonight. Luckily I eat dinner with my site mates often, so I have been able to have home-cooked food for most of the week until I could get everything cleaned and sort out my kitchen.
I’ve posted more pictures of the apartment online here:

but I’ll post a few here for you to take a look at!

Liz,
So wonderful to catch a glimpse of your life! So happy for you! You are amazing, so strong and intelligent. I went to Toledo’s Hungarian festival and slipped into another world, enjoyed their festive dancing as well. I sneak to Peru once in awhile, too:)
Always in my heart, I send warm thoughts, wishes to you.
I’ve come to love my job and enjoy all my interests simultaneously. My foundation is based on my values of autonomy, respect, and love. What we do for ourselves we do for others, reminding me to take better care of my basic survival needs. Jay and I are on very good terms but no plans to make a decision either way. I’m very comfortable with the “unknown.”
Are you Christain or Islamic, neither, or all of the above? Just curious.
Onward dear peace warrior:)
Love,
LeeAnn
