Day 8 - One Week In

It's been a week now, and today was the first calm -- no, that's not the right word for it. That makes it sound like my days are hectic, full of rushing and excitement. I mean, they are full of excitement, just -- I'm not doing a very good job of this, am I?

I love this place, it makes me so happy. There's something calming about filling my days with work at the town hall, and my evenings fishing and watering the multitudes of flowers scattered around town.

My evenings are given to gardening and the like because, and I cannot express how embarrassed I am by this, I got sunburnt. Badly! I was outside, and it was a beautiful day, and I fell asleep out in the sunshine. I was out there for hours! Dumb, dumb thing to do. Now I'm as brown as a nut and feel like an idiot.

I'll have to keep my eye out for a nice hat, but right now I don't go anywhere without my umbrella to shade myself, and I wait until dusk before I do any outdoor activities I need both hands for. Now, if this tan will just hurry and fade...
