We continue to get settled in – John got his 250-pound air shipment delivered this week, so we were able to enjoy great coffee from his espresso machine – a really nice treat!
We had a few social things to do this week – our sponsors Stephanie and Justin had us over Monday night for dinner and a couple of games of Catan – lots of fun. John represented Team Crippen at a Hanukkah gathering Thursday after work when I was under the weather for a day or so. Yesterday we went downstairs where a neighbor had set up a taco bar for the Marines, where we had the chance to get to know a few more people.
We’ve been good about getting to the gym this week, so my leg is doing much better (note to self: you cannot convince yourself that you are too busy for PT!).
Work continues to be pretty crazy. I worked last Sunday and on Christmas Eve – there’s just so much to do and not nearly enough time to do it in.
We had a quiet Christmas which was nice. We did video chats with family and friends – it’s amazing that we can so easily see and talk to folks! I remember when we were in Costa Rica in the 90s, email was just beginning and we heard the screech of the dial-up. (OK, boomer.)
