Rainy day blather
Hello poodles.
I have peektures of the new residence. But first I have some /emo/ness to deal with.
Onto the whining!
/emo/
I go through phases of total anxiety about this move. Mostly because I don't like the act of moving. The act of shoving things into boxing and stripping my walls and vacating a space which I called home for the last year and a half. And I'll miss my view. I'll miss my ocean and it hurts my heart. I can see it right now out my window and it's liquid black in the moonlight. And I'll miss that. Not that the new place isn't near the ocean, but it's not ON the ocean. Wah wah. I know, woe is me. At least we have some trees to look at, but it's not quite the same. BUT at least it's not in a concrete jungle. And that's what I was most afraid of.
So, there's the moving stress. And it's quadrupled because Adam isn't here. I'd like to be able to do this together instead of relying on phone calls and emails to decide upon important things. Poor Adam hadn't even SEEN the apartment before I decided on it. And I don't like that. Blah.
OH YEAH, and I'm worried about finding a new job. I've applied 348390 places in the last few days, so hopefully someone will bite. I'd like to find a job that suits me more. SOmething more HR oriented, or at least less finance oriented. As one of my co workers said to me last week "You're a little stiffled here, aren't you?" That's an understatement. So, yes, a job with people or animals or both! PLZ HIRE ME.
And there's the money worries. We'll be fine once Adam starts getting regular paychecks, but it's hard now, and it will be hard for the next few months. And that sucks.
haha. It doesn't look like so much now that it's down in writing, but it's been filling up space in my brain, so I needed to get it out.
/emo/
OK! So now that you've made it through my emotastic whinging, here are some pictures! There would be more, but SOMEONE (dad) forgot to charge the battery. So you get 4. AND YOU WILL LIKE IT. And, of course, more will be forthcoming.
First of all, here's what the building looks like on the outside.

And here's the kitchen!

And here's the view from, I think, the living room

And here's the most IMPORTANT feature...plz ignore the fact that I'm dumb and can't centre my pictures.

So, I'm generally excited about the move. The area is A+ awesome. It's a straight line to the Quay (and the seabus) and relatively central to other places like Deep Cove (which is LOVE).
And, because I was stingy with my pictures, here are some extraneous pictures of the area that I wil be calling home in T-1.5 months (OMG SOON).
This is Cates Park (which is 5 minutes away)

Here is the Deep Cove(the marina has otters!!)

So, in conclusion, my brain goes like this: EXCITED_OMGSCARED_EXCITED_OMGSCARED_EXCITED
haha.
Also, we're officially postponing Christmas until January. Because MY Dec.25 will probably be spent cleaning the apartment.
