rambling

Erik comes home today! I cannot wait. It has been far too long since I saw him last.

We are going camping this weekend, which I am incredibly excited for. I can't say I am looking forward to locating all our camping gear under my sister's house, but we can't really leave without it.

I baked yesterday in preparation for the weekend. It was the first time I have baked in over seven months. I made four different recipes -- blueberry muffins, banana muffins, boterkoek, and lemon loaf. I hope they turned out ok.

My set at work went... well it went. It wasn't nearly as bad as I anticipated, but there are many protocols that I have forgotten. I thankfully knew what I didn't know -- I knew that I didn't know it -- so I asked. I probably asked at least 100 questions. At least. Thankfully there were many ears to share the load so I wasn't continually bothering the same person.

It as nice to see the people at work. None of my colleagues are particularly good friends (it is difficult to get together outside of work) but there were many faces I was delighted to see. Many hugs were shared. Few stories were told (too busy with work). But I realized how much I care for and appreciate the girls I work with.

It felt good to be a part of something again.

I haven't taken a photo in a week. It feels strange to not lug my camera around. I constantly find myself wishing I had it on me, but it isn't convenient to carry around.

That's all.
