Settling In

I've arrived safely in "different Canadian city", as it shall henceforth by called, and I'm slowly getting things set up for the next three and a half weeks here.  I've unpacked, I've completed the last of the endless paperwork and online forms required to work in a different province*, and I've scoped out the nearby options for food.  Luckily for me, I'm less than five minutes by foot from a Middle Eastern deli (mmm...shawarma...), two discount grocery stores, and a seemingly endless assortment of fast food restaurants.  I definitely won't starve, and in fact I may need to purchase some larger clothes by the time I get home.

Here's what my kitchen looks like for the next 24 days:



I won't be making any gourmet meals, but at least I'll have my Mini Wheats and tomato sandwiches.

Aaand....that's all I have for now.  I'm somewhat bored, in case you can't tell from my rather uninspired post, so I should probably move on to doing something productive like studying.  Or maybe I'll go soak in the hot tub.  Ahhhh.

*  I think.  Periodically I get an urgent email telling me that I won't be able to start tomorrow because I haven't completed something very essential like online training on how to put on a face mask properly, so there are no guarantees.

I would say to purchase a large toaster oven and stove top burner. You can carry them with you when you travel and they can help you eat healthy. Still, I have no idea of the reality of your life. I just know that this helps with my road life.

Lisa - I love having a toaster oven, but I'm not sure whether I can find one near where I'm staying or how I would transfer it home. Maybe I'll look for one tomorrow.

Have a GREAT TIME!!!
