Getting there...

I'm just updating to let you know that I have both a job and an apartment. I'll be working for a wonderful family as a nanny. It sounds like such a pud job, but there is so much that goes into it. I'll be hanging out with a four and a half year old girl who already has more working knowledge than I do about the connectedness of our ecosystems to our daily life. I just hope I can keep up! She's passionate about saving the coral, and the sea turtles, and the earth in general. She told me about manatees on the way to school this morning and her facts are well researched and solid.

The family is so loving in their approach to everything, and it does my heart good to be around people who just bring light into the world in the way they do. I'm in training with the previous nanny who'se music career has taken off and will get to fly solo later this week.

I'm definitely suffering from an excess of homeless love, so I'm excited to have a unit to put some of that love and energy into on a daily basis. I'll also be cooking some. Hopefully they'll be as patient with as my own family was this summer as I stumble through new recipes.

There is still some paperwork that needs to get banged out for the apartment, but I get the keys October 1 and my stuff will follow at an undetermined time! I'm almost there...
