Storm Season

Four weeks after moving to the west coast I went back home for a two week holiday. Not as pathetic as it sounds, I hadn't seen my sister and my nephews since last October and they were going to be in Winnipeg for a week. So between the time at our parents and my stay with her in northern MB, I got to spend a good ten days with them. It was brilliant! Because of the trip, I'd put off looking for work and really considered myself "in transit" for all of June.

I returned on Sunday, and now have to face that I have a life I need to do something with. In the past 48 hours:

1. Got my BC driver's licence. It was waiting in the mail when I returned. I now feel like an official resident. And the picture isn't half bad.

2. GOT FISHES!! Rune and Karot sent me some pretty, shiny fish charms that I will be able to hang in a bowl so that they look like they're swimming. They are the first things that belong only to this place (I don't count furniture) and they make me unreasonably happy. I'll post a picture when I get them swimming.

3. Cleaned all the Winnipeg stuff out of my wallet

4. Dealt with the final step of getting my pension transferred. All ties to the old job are now untied.

5. Sent out 5 job applications. I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.

6. Ordered season 3 of Supernatural, and The Sarah Connor Chronicles. (Which is why it doesn't matter that I don't know what I'm doing, I just need to be doing something to bring money in.)

7. Rehung the curtain rod on my bedroom because it fell down early this morning and SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME! So much for sleeping late enough to combat the jet lag.

8. Started a Yoosu story. With pudding.


I have a feeling it's a bad sign that #8 is the item I'm most excited about.
