Randall's first day at work

Today was Randall's first day of work and my first day home alone. He seems to enjoy his work and he says that everyone is friendly. The hours are good and they have a cafeteria that he can eat in for lunch which will make things easier for him. While we are still in the hotel apartment he is able to walk but once we move he will have to ride the bus.
I went to the grocery market alone for the first time today and struggled with the card reader. The cashier finally turned it around and took the card from me and swiped it herself. Oh well, better luck next time I hope. I am branching out on the food and decided to get some sausages. The ones that I chose look like a fatter version of the Hillshire Farm "U" shaped sausage back home. I hope they taste good! I was also able to catch up on laundry today which takes some time considering that our Washing machine will only hold two pairs of jeans at a time (1 of each of ours)! I will be glad when I have access to a dryer at our apartment so that my whole apartment is not lined with clothes. Still we are having a good time and making the most of everything and enjoying this once in a lifetime opportunity.
