Here I am at my new desk and it is beautiful!! I can see the LA river (which is just trickling now) and the mountains. I am finally starting to get settled in but am still working down in a conference room building computers most of the day. I gotta tell you though, going out at lunch today and soaking up the 80 degree weather and having Salvadorian food was just a piece of heaven. It's to be in the 80s all week and I couldn't ask for anything better! Everything is so green around here right now from all the rain which looks pretty but I always think of the bad side, there will be lots more stuff growing that will be able to burn this summer. Not looking forward to fire season!

Being home again I am really appreciating the little things. On Saturday night, I stopped by the market at about 9pm and it was open!!! Woo-hoo. I pulled 6 dollar bills out of my wallet for lunch today and was thankful that they weren't heavy pound coins! I'm sitting at work and I'm not too hot and not too cold. I ate in the work cafeteria the other day and did not get sick! Oh there are so many things but the #1 best thing of all is going outside wearing short sleeves! No scarf, no big jacket! No umbrella!!! Woo-hoo!!!!
