Almost Spring

It was a beautiful day today, +4. I think Spring is coming, and that makes me happy.

I found this on Wikipedia when I looked up 'Spring.'

Springtime is seen as a time of growth, renewal, of new life (both plant and animal) being born, and of the cycle of life once again starting. It is also used more generally as the start of better times, as in Prague Spring.

Other than me feeling pretty good about Spring, nothing to much is new. I have been slowly unpacking and almost have everything put away, but there is still enough to keep me busy. I hope to get the rest of the boxes unpacked this weekend when Jeff is in Saskatoon. I might also treat myself to a little shopping and massage in preparation for my upcoming Las Vegas trip in 2 weeks.

This weekend will be a great opportunity for me to get use to taking the bus around the entire city. It will be an adventure.

The Move

Well, the move is finished. As for the unpacking, that will take awhile.

Jeff & Mom-in-law arrived safely Saturday afternoon...after the moving. Bne was a good friend and came to the house early Saturday morning to help me with the move. It had already been a pretty stressful week, so it didn't really help that my furnace wasn't working when I arrived Saturday morning. After trying to unpack in the frigid house, a new motor, and $500...I was elated to see Jeff at the door. At one point, Bne and I could see our own breath...in the house. It was frakin' cold.

We have been slowly unpacking, but there is still so much to do. However, I am glad to say the kitchen is put together and clear of garbage and boxes.

Due to our couch not fitting (so the movers say) down the stairs, we have had to place it in the front room. It looks a little crowded with our large cabinets, so some rearranging is in order.

Tomorrow Jeff starts work at his new location, so I took the day off work so we could get some errands accomplished. When I say errands...I mean spend money and buy a big tv, and another computer desk.

Perhaps things will settle down soon.

Goodbye Saskatoon

Today is the day...

I spent this morning packing my things and organizing all the stuff I plan on taking with me. It is a lot more than I thought - 2 suitcases full of clothes, shoes, and various tolietries and other miscellaneous items; my computer; and my laptop; plus 2 garmet bags full of dress clothes.

The house has been listed and we have had a few agents show the house since Thursday. Today we are having a open house, so we have to make ourselves scarce once again. However, I don't plan on leaving until after the open house. Here's hoping someone likes it enough to buy it.

I start work tomorrow and I am quite excited. I know it is going to be a great job!

Although I will be home for Christmas in a couple of weeks it is going to be a long couple of months living in limbo. Jeff will have to get used to me being gone again. He did fine this past summer while I was in Oxford, so I am sure it won't be a problem. No word on when he will be getting a transfer/promotion to Edmonton, so it might be few months until he joins me in Edmonton.
