I'm sorry to tell you that between work and packing to move I only get about an hour or so before work on the computer if I get up early enough. After that, once the move is complete I'll have dial-up internet access but hopefully more time.
Today is going to be an interesting day I'll tell you! I start work this morning at 8 and yet here I woke up at 5 for absolutely no good reason, I'll probably be working till shortly after lunch but will be back to work for 5 this evening working till 8. I've never worked an evening shift in the restaurant before and so don't know how to make any of the dinner antrees. Oh well, gotta learn something new every day, right!?! Trouble is I specialize in breakfast, more specifically omelettes and quiche, that's where I shine, funnily enough, I don't like either!
Anyway, while I'm away at work today, the kid is going to puppy-sit Lucifer while he baby-sits her and Silv will be moving a bunch of the big stuff up to his place, (lawn mower, BBQ, that kind of stuff). Yep folks, I'm taking the plunge and moving in with Silv. Up till now we've had our own homes which suited us just fine. We are always together either at our country home (Silv's place) or at our town-house (my place), but we are both sick of the travelling between homes and town life so we're giving that up for a more relaxed country life. Yeah right, like country living will be more relaxed! Bigger yard to take care of, wood to collect all summer and fall for winter heat, snow to try to clean up all winter, no neighbors driving us nuts, (YAY!!!), no sounds of traffic all night and day, a BIG yard for this BIG dog to run around in, fresh air, nearest neighbor is a half mile away as the crow flies, space for a garden to be able to have fresh herbs and vegetables, and so it goes. Ok ok so it will be more relaxing, just a little more work!
So saying, I'm really looking forward to this move even if it does mean a 20 mile drive to work every day as opposed to 4 blocks, but the pro's definitely out-weigh the cons!
Yay! Good for you! Once you get settled, I'm sure you're going to be glad you made the move.
ReplyDeleteWow! That sounds exciting yet challenging at the same time. Take it easy and don't work too hard this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI actually like a 20 or 30 minute ride to work. It gives you some coffee time in the morning and some unwind time in the afternoon!
ReplyDeleteCat Lady - you don't know the half of it! I'm already glad over it, considering that we get along like two peas in a pod and that both of us prefer to be away from all other people in the flesh, I think it's the perfect choice for us. The only real fore seeable problem is that the kid likes to be around people all the time. She's going to have a bit of a hard-go of it, but she'll learn!
ReplyDeleteReffie - Thanks for that! After tonights shift I have both Sunday and Monday off, the first will be spent on laundry and more packing and Monday will then be spent on hauling another load or two up to Silv's then spent relaxing. There won't really be a proper day of rest till this whole moving business is over, but I'll sure enjoy it when I get to it!
Otin - Thanks for reminding me of that part, I should have mentioned that in my pro's because that is certainly 2 huge ones!
Your comment on my post affected me more than the event that I recounted. Email me sometime if you would like to share your story.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this "dial up" of which you speak?
ReplyDelete1. i miss you.
ReplyDelete2. dial up?
3. what the crap?
First off I'd like to say that dial-up internet access is access to the internet via the phone line, BUT you don't get high speed access and you can't use your phone when you're on the internet. It's incredibly archaic but it's the only thing available in most rural areas of Manitoba. I hope that answers your questions :)
ReplyDeleteOtin - as soon as I can find your addy I'll do that, thanks :)
Nanodance - trust me, you don't want it...lol.
Brit - I miss you too my dear and I'm on my way to visit you right now! Sorry I haven't been around for so long!
Otin - I tried to use your e-mail link but for some reason it didn't work, something to do with "Outlook Express failed to open". Considering I don't have an Outlook account I can understand that...lol. I've clicked on the option to allow my e-mail, perhaps it will work for you :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Seems like you thought it over. Enjoy the move!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move, Skye! Hope it all goes well and you are settled in quickly. Enjoy the full-time country life!
ReplyDeleteI will Minka, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Deb, I hope so too. I think that the hardest part at the moment is trying to figure out how to merge two households of furniture...lol.
ReplyDeleteHey Skye! So, where should I send you a postcard? There is still no winner because some of my friends are too slow :P
ReplyDeleteWell I hope it works out with your internet access ... I remember our dial-up .. I was secretly online and my mum picked up the phone and heard this weird modem beeping and almost killed me :P those were good times ... :D
Hope to hear from you more soon :)
Hey Poppy, thanks :) I'll send your mom an e-mail with my addy. She has this mailing address already, but as I'm going to be out of here in just a few days, my new addy would be better!
ReplyDeleteCheers and thanks again :)
Hey, Skye! As I have already told you, this almost-killing-her-surfing-chatting-daughter mum here has already given the same child your postal assress. Poor Poppy, isn't she? As I see it, the good times are still going on, though, except I see that child of mine much less frequently. Take care!
ReplyDeleteSkye:That is terrific! The big plunge, so will marriage be in the future??
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to you both. I do hope it all goes well.
and, remember don't let silv boss you around.
You just let him think he is the boss, and that is ok, what he doesn't know or realize does not hurt him one bit ;)
You take care as well Minka, and thanks again :)
ReplyDeletePenny, no there are no marriage plans for the future, been down that road before and don't want to again! As for him bossing me around, why would he, I'm the boss ;)
