sorry to leave you hanging. i returned to ktown just after midnight thursday night (so i suppose that means friday morning). on the whole, i enjoyed the trip and found it to be a positive experience. i went to work the next morning, and since then feel like i'm operating more and more in zombie mode. i'm pretty worn and lethargic today - mentally stuck between wanting to tidy my house and wanting to lie on the couch doing nothing. my hope is that if i rest this evening i'll get some housework done tomorrow.

the weather is colder here and i miss my early morning swims. it's weird traveling without b. it made coming home more tricky than i expected. partly because i was all jet-lag cranky and he wasn't, and partly because he'd gotten into the groove of me being away and it felt (to me) like i was interrupting his new rhythm. so it was an adjustment for both of us.

i haven't had a good cup of tea in several weeks. i don't know what's wrong with my palette. they all just taste bland. *sip* no flavour, i'm telling you!

in less than two months we'll be moved into our new digs. which is very exciting. we picked out colour swatches on saturday and looked at backsplashes. the upstairs unit needs some work done, but it is eligible for a grant from the CMHC. i gave them a call, they asked some preliminary questions and are now sending us an application in the mail. it's both exciting and surprising to find ourselves homeowners AND landlords all at once. yesterday we popped into an open house on our street and ended up concluding that we like our place much more. i feel really good about our decision. it is just a little place, but less space means less stuff :) i'm really looking forward to this new step.

nancy taught me out to listen to audio books from the library online. but i'm getting a security upgrade error message and can't get it to work. it's very annoying :S
