My first week of work went well.  I was very excited to get started and hope I can get ramped up with information quickly so we can start moving forward.  

We are in our current house on a temporary basis and while it's a beautiful home it takes forever to get anywhere.  We're probably only 5 miles across the city but it takes 60-90 minutes of stop and go traffic to get to and from work.  Our poor driver takes almost as long to get here,  so to get us there by 8am means a very early morning for him.  Needless to say, transportation and housing options remain our biggest needs.  

All of the aid organizations work in office/camps 6 days a week so we're enjoying our day off by staying out of the car, catching up with each other and even had visions of a nap but we forgot about the chorus of dogs and roosters in the neighborhood.  Today must be a special day because another neighbor is also sharing a radio program with the rest of us.  When you're not busy/moving around the heat does tend to make you very drowsy so hopefully we'll be able to catch a few zzz's anyway!
