A Bit of "normal"

So it has been over a month since we left Spain.  I miss the ease of knowing where to buy things and the lovely weather.  I miss having my car and driving myself where ever I want.  I miss my morning coffee on the patio.  I miss the kids school start time being 9:15am.  I miss my daily walks twice a day to and from school.  I miss quite a bit about Spain.

But truth be told, I kind of love Changchun.  I am still weirded out by a LOT.  We are like freaking celebs!  You would think they have never seen non Chinese.  Which isn't true since there is a large German population here because of VW.  I am loving the weather here.  So far, not too many bad air days.  Thank goodness!  Lots of sunshine and gorgeous fall temps.  I have only broken into my crazy Fibro sweats a handful of times.  We even have had a thunderstorm!  Not the crazy freak Spanish ones.  But the day long lovely rains.

One thing that has been better in Changchun?  Our air shipment arrived in less than a year!  Actually, a mere three weeks!  I am happily typing away on my iMac.  But I am noticing that a year in storage has done quite a bit of damage.  So I am going to have to figure out how to get it fixed.  Fingerscrossed, it is fixable.  But it is nice to have some of our stuff.  Our bedding has been the best.  I wish I had stuffed our pillows in tho.  Joel said we would buy all new stuff when we got here.  Well, the Chinese like HARD beds and pillows.  My poor body feels beaten daily.  Hopefully this weekend we can find some kind of mattress pad or we will never have guests.  We were planning to move the master bed suite to the guest room.  But that may change.

So now that we have a bit more of normal....  I need to start getting myself back to normal.  I have been enjoying the laziness.  HAHAH..  I kind of been feeling bad about it.  As my Ayi tends to all my household chores.  But she is doing EVERYTHING that I would be doing.  Hopefully I can make some friends and start doing stuff!!

Well its about time I get myself out of my jammies.  It's almost noon.  Gasp!
