Another weekend has come and gone.
3 weeks down 23 to go.....
So this weekend was pretty good, relaxing even. I finally got to get some laundry done, and cleaned my room a bit in the the hopes that my furniture will arrive this week. I can't wait until my bed arrives, it will be so nice to be back in my own comfy nest.
On Saturday T and I went to the Cafe, for our 3rd week in a row. It is great having something that I know I can look forward to every week. We spend an hour or two there and it's my most normal part of the whole week. We also went into the stores to pick up a few things and I took some photos of prices and things available in the local store.
On Sunday night I went to the friend of a friends for dinner. I had a good time and the food was so great. He and his roommate seem to be good people and I am glad I met them. It's been a little bit difficult to meet people up here. I mean don't get me wrong, I have met some really nice people, but most people seem to have come up here with some sort of support base, be it a friend or spouse, etc. and I didn't. I am glad I came, I just look forward to the day that I feel I know more people.
Today I slept in, which is not too hard to do considering it is so dark out, and it was great waking up on my own instead of because of a loud alarm.
It's been insanely cold up here lately, sitting in the -40's. I have had to revert back to my contact lenses because the glasses are to difficult to deal with. After walking around outside for 30 seconds they fog up to the point where you can't see anything. And in regards to fog, we have been existing in what is called Ice Fog lately. It's when it is so cold that the air can't escape so it stays low on the ground as fog. (Wiki explains it as: Ice fog is a type of fog consisting of fine ice crystals suspended in the air. It can happen only in cold areas of the world since water can remain liquid down to -40 °C (-40 °F) ). It's pretty cool. But today there was only a light mist so maybe it's on it's way out....

It was -36 yesterday with the windchill, and I thought that was cold. Then I thought of you. And I felt a little warmer!!!
