... that while I am not skilled at speaking Russian, like a small child, I can absorb most of what is intended - so long as we're talking about food or the whereabouts of colleagues.
... that a white crystallized block on which I can read the word "iodine" kept in the kitchen cupboard is close enough to salt that I'll trust it in my soup.
... that black dust in the same cabinet as the aforementioned white crystal is acceptably pepper and therefore trusted and consumed - as opposed to the tin in the same cupboard next to the tea labeled "special gun powder". This will not be consumed.
... The feeling of "I did it all by myself" never really gets old. In fact leaving the supermarket, having successfully purchased dinner without having to ask for help, my heart was beating out of my chest as though I had just peered off the edge of a cliff.
... that it isn't always good to have a dog befriend you and follow you home*. Especially when home is on the other side of a very busy highway.
... that the upload speeds for my internet are not such that google voice is a very good option for talking but it's a GREAT option for laughing until my face hurts. While I can hear you more clearly than I could on a cell phone, I am apparently rendered mute.

Gunpowder tea is actually a legit thing...

It probably won't kill you :-)
Alas, the tin was empty. I've heard good things though, so perhaps I will track down some more and leave it for the next unsuspecting tenant.
