Things are looking up...

Things have been getting better and better recently, sorry for seeming to report blogs more often when I am upset bout something or what not. So, I will do my best to report all these good times too! I am really enjoying my new job, it is nice to feel busy and of course, my favorite time of the day is to come home! I have been fortunate enough to be greeted thus far by Alex every time. It will probably remain the same, but he beings work on Tuesday, which is such a blessing. And I actually have Tuesday off... I am not going to know what to do with myself! I have several ideas, but it is just going to be weird. Being alone in London... let alone a day alone all together. It has been quite a while since I have dealt with that, 5 months at least. (As I realize today is our 4 month anniversary!) I will do my best to report what my happenings end up being on Tuesday. Other good news to report, we've found the best salt and vinegar chips ever... and they are only a pound, I guess this is good and bad... since it makes us really want to eat them! We have our Christmas tree up, one very small present underneath so far, and then we are currently sitting on another wonderful Christmas present from my in-laws, a new, larger, much improved couch! It has made such a difference. The flat feels so much more inviting and comfortable! When you move the back cushions it is the size of a twin bed! Perfect for anyone wanting to visit! :) Skype has made the distance between us and our loved ones much smaller, which has made a big difference. I am really starting to get my grounding and know my way around central London (just a bit more). But it is good... I realized on my way home tonight that I know where 4 tube stations are in central London, and where the three are closest to the flat. We have also given in and begun to use the heaters a bit more. It has made a huge difference also! It is really beginning to feel like home. We have a laugh at one of the places across the street... a Thai massage place, which is open all hours of the day. It for example.... it is 10:30 on a Sunday... a SUNDAY at 10:30... and it is still open! We think they must live there... but still, I mean who are you kidding, who's booking a massage at 10:30 on a Sunday. I would suspect them of something else maybe not so legal, but it looks really nice from the outside at least. I hate to think they are up to something dirty. We have found Kraft Macaroni and cheese at a near by corner shop. That is one area where I have not been suffering at all... Alex continues to cook amazing food and manages to do it quite cheaply! You would have no idea though, it is absolutely amazing! ymm.... Thankfully, I walk quite a bit, and am in the process of looking for a yoga ball and some weights so I can keep in shape inside, and am planning to map out a few running paths, and considering a run in March or April... but we'll see. Anyway, I hope everyone reading is doing well and I would love to hear any news! Miss you all!
