easy livin'
Today is our first full day in our new apartment in Guelph :) Our first night here, on Saturday, we realized that we could hear birds! This being quite different from hearing nothing but the Queen streetcar and people shouting obscenities at each other from the housing complex across the street for the last six months. We're taking our sweet time unpacking and getting ourselves settled in. It's been lovely. Our building is situated at the end of the one-way street, across the road from Homewood Health Center. I have been craving this kind of peaceful quiet since we decided that we were going to move. Not to mention, this is the only time i have ever moved and NOT had to go back to work the next day. Instead of being exhausted at work and then having to spend weeks unpacking in off hours, we can just take our time.
We've decided that since this move has been such a big change, we're going to make some other changes as well. We're gonna kick it off with a three day mini cleanse. We went out today and picked up loads of fresh fruit and veggies so we can do smoothies, blended soups, and fresh juice (and some green tea... i can't go cold turkey off caffeine!) for three days. We're gonna spend the rest of the week exploring the city, on bike and on foot, so we can start thinking about where to look for jobs. Jordan will be starting university next fall, so both of us will be working full time until then. It's exciting looking for new work since I actually have the time to sit back and take stock of options. And all the while, having time to set up our super cute new apartment :) The kitties settled in in very short order. Carpet in their new favourite thing. It's like a giant cat bed just for them to flop down on wherever they like. It's pretty funny actually!
Life is great. I don't say that often but i really mean it. I'm so happy this whole thing came together so quickly and so easily. I'm looking forward to everything :)
