first Sunday of settling



I first woke at 5 and made myself sleep until 7:45. I got ready for the day and after a while, Liz came over with bran muffins and soy milk. We went out to get coffee and came back to my place to chat. I have been really thankful for helpful coworkers and they have been great to hangout with as well.

After a while, I made lunch--stir fried tofu and broccoli over soba noodles. There's nothing that makes me feel more at home than cooking my own food. I invited Adam over for lunch, especially since he was working across the hallway. We enjoyed the meal and separated until he drove me to meet someone for an apartment. Although this apartment didn't quite have all the amenities of the last one, it still seemed decent. After accompanying Adam to pick up another new employee, I called to say I would like the apartment. I meet with her tomorrow.

After an afternoon of settling in and taking photos, I walked with Liz to Jerod's for a vegan potluck. Currently I am overfull of TVP, noodles and vegan carrot cake and so ready for bed. This is starting to feel a bit like home to me and I realize it probably won't be for a month or so that I realize I am here and so far away from home.

I leave you with a few pictures of Wrangell for the night. The first one is the Wrangell sign outside of the visitor's center. The one below I like because it shows the misty mountains in the background:



On an entertainment related note, they do show movies in town on the weekends. This weekend is Julie and Julia.
