Well I haven’t posted in what seems like a few million years, but I just want to let the world know that I AM MOVING ON FRIDAY!
Moving in with my amazing boyfriend in a wonderful downtown apartment.

Wow.

I’m the luckiest person alive.

I haven’t been knitting much, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t really noticed. Finished my job in Banff in a crazy last two weeks, then the boyfriend and I headed out on a 14-hour road-(andferry)-trip to my parent’s house to pick up the last of my stuff. Now, when doing this, you should really take an SUV or a pick-up truck or something. Not a Sunfire. Then again, our other choice (my car), the Mazda MX3 is about the same size. Picked up most of my stuff, all the important stuff anyway, and made it back here, swinging my 5-year school reunion on the way.

The roads were good, although in an open note to logging companies, I would like to request that you refrain from helicopter-logging around busy mountain passes. It freaks people out.

We’ve spent a few days at Ikea, choosing furniture, deciding what to buy on move-in day (bed, bookcases) and what can wait (everything else).

I just went to Wal-Mart and bought $50 of cleaning supplies, as we’re starting afresh. And I just realised that I got toilet cleaner but no brush. damn.

I know I’ve disappeared for a bit from here, there’s been a lot going on.
My car broke again, was fixed again, we had an apartment wrenched from us again, but now I believe the jinx-able stage of all this is gone, so I am just going to jump out and say it….

We Have A Place To Live! In Calgary, that hardest-to-find-a-place-in of cities.

We’re downtown, really easy walking distance of practically everything, especially the theatres and the Saddledome, so yay work. It’s gorgeous, wood floors, high celings, uber-open kitchen/living/dining area.

My car is also fixed again (free! The transmission they put in it a month ago had a bad bearing, so it was their fault. Cruise control still doesn’t work, but I don’t want to take it back again), and my mum and grandpa visited on the long weekend. I had to work in Banff on Monday, but I had Saturday afternoon and Sunday with them.

This is such a weight off my chest I’m so happy.

I feel good na-na-na-na-na-na-na knew that I would na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Oh yeah, knitting. With everything, haven’t done much, but the sock is a bit longer than the last picture I have of it down below.

Today, I’m going to pirate wedding. I’m looking forward to it. Yarrr.
