Alright, it's my official opinion that it's taking far too long to get the basics - I'm not cross about it but I have reached the point where I'm more than ready to have a refrigerator, stove, oven, and, gosh darn it, internet! We've got access to all those things (though our staked-out-section of the fridge is mighty small) at Dan's office, but that just means that we're camping out at night at the house and camping out during the daytime in the communal kitchen of the institute.
I am way behind on so many very nice email messages - and I don't like that! Do know that I'm thinking of you all but everything's kind of spare and we're still dealing with the basics. At least we have a toaster and the butter doesn't get totally melty out of the refrigerator... and I've found peanut butter, which is of primary importance. Have peanut butter, will carry on!
Tomorrow, just to balance it all out, Devin, Merlin and I are going on a field trip. To where? I don't actually know but a few of the postdocs here decided to have a day trip and just 'cause we can, we've decided to join them. We've got some sort of package that you can get on weekends with a really cheap "family" ticket on the train... I'll share details with you when we get back as well as try to get caught up on email and the posts I've been meaning to write about Göttingen.
As an aside, there seems to be a ladybug party (they're flying up and sometimes in by the dozens) outside the window as we experience the supposedly last beautiful days of early autumn. It's been gorgeously sunny and warm and will most likely turn cold next week.
Our love to you all!
