Well it has been a while and an adventure. I have been working in Sisseton SD now for 2 weeks of my 13 week rotation. Things went well in Milbank and I enjoyed my stay at the Valli Vu motel. It was nice to have someone make my bed every day. Currently I'm staying in Wheaton MN at a lovely 2 bedroom apartment. About a month ago, when my rotation was confirmed, I found this apartment complex and sent an email inquiring about open apartments. To my great fortune, I got a response from the manager stating that there were no 1 bedroom apartments open but he was willing to offer me a 2 bedroom apartment for the price of a 1 bedroom. He was also going to include all utilities into the cost of the rent since I will only be here till mid-December. All in all, it is a wonderful arrangement and I can only hope to be this lucky in the future.
Currently I am managing to live comfortably. They have laundry here in the building so I don't have to go anywhere. That makes it easier to get all my laundry, cleaning, and cooking done. You can see my drying rack there in the first picture. That second picture is my table covered in my scrape booking from my wedding. I'm not the most creative person but I do try.
I've been working on this for a few weeks and have about 12 pages done. Its a nice pass time and it's nice to look through my wedding pictures.
Since coming here I found out that our cell phone provider didn't cover the area very well. So my husband and I switched providers to one that covered the area better. We were very excited and had planned on me using my phone as a wifi hot spot so we didn't have to get internet set up at each location. Well, all the way from the twin cities area to Wheaton I had 4G and things were good. Once we got back to the apartment and I went down to my apartment I lost all reception. So this past week I figured out that the only way I would have reception was to have my phone propped in the windows. Well, I am very thankful for my amazing husband. He did all the footwork and got an internet provider set up for me so all I had to do was wait for the router to show up and set up the connection. It was even better because he said that we could just bring the router and transfer the internet to any new place I was staying. I am very thankful for him!
So this is my first weekend here at the apartment and I am enjoying myself. I got all my laundry done, dishes and cleaning done, and some cooking done for the week. I spend the rest of my time chatting with my husband, scrap booking and knitting, and reading articles for the continuing education class I have in 2 weeks.
I would like to do more baking but I do need to watch how much stuff I collect for when I move again. That is truly to main downside to traveling. I would love to have a fully decked out kitchen pantry but that can get tricky with things that you don't use all the time. Well, when I discover a sensible solution I will pass on the knowledge. until next time, I hope you have a wonderful finish to your weekend.
