Semi Settled In

I haven't actually started working at the Health and Wellness Center (HAWC) yet. I know the base as for the front gat to my work. Late night I stopped by the store to pick up a few things. This morning I cleaned the kitchen, sink and refrigerator at work. I threw away all the food in the kitchen. Some of it was dated 2003 and 2004. I baked banana nut muffins and then had brunch with everyone from work. Oooo Happy Valentines Day. So we sat around and chatted a little bit about work (the good and bad) while eating muffins. One of the guys looked around and was amazed to find we had a washing machine/dryer in the kitchen. We all laughed at him ....umm, with him. He has only been here a few months. I can see how much the kitchen was used. After everyone left, I took a deep breathe and just looked around. I bought a few things for the kitchen to make it more like a home. A table cloth, placemats, towels and a few other little things. There wasn't any warmth to the kitchen before. Now we will have a place to hang out at work instead of at our desks all day long. I only made one rule aobut the kitchen table ..... it was a non-work conversation place. We could talk about anything we wanted except work. Everyone agreed it was a good idea. I think I will get more settled in when I finally get a room of my own instead of living down town. Then I will finally be settled in.
