I'm back from my first swim of the season at the outdoor pool at the local university, which opened today. Oy. I've noticed in the past few years how hard it is to come back; I remember last summer thinking to myself as I dragged myself up and down the lap lanes, "Huh. I used to enjoy this." I did come back, but it took a while. I wish the winter swimming options weren't so inconvenient. Just the same, I am very, very happy to be back in the water!

Packing day. The movers will be here between 1pm and 3pm to pack. I’ve already packed some clothes, toiletries, electronics and snacks for tonight and tomorrow night.
Tomorrow morning the movers will be here at 8am. I’m not sure how I’ll handle all the chaos, but I got my earphones for if it gets too chaotic and I need to create a barrier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

And we have moved. Unpacking is going quicker that I expected, the things I had at the apartment are unpacked (so far as I can unpack them, since I'll have to wait for a bookcase, desk and bed to fully unpack that stuff). Tomorrow I'll make a beginning with the stuff from my storage.
Yesterday, when the movers were still busy my sister and I were outside directing where everything had to go. The neighbour across the street came over, he's a nice man and has lived there since the houses were build. He told us that his row of houses all have a small front yard intended for parking a car. But the yards are too small for cars, so nobody does that. Except him, he has the corner house and a bigger yard. He told us a while back there was a neighbour constantly complaining about him parking his car where it was intended to. Luckily that neighbour moved a while ago which made the neighbourhood improve immensely. When telling us this he vaguely gestured towards the corner. The corner around which our uncle (yes, the uncle of all the lawsuits) lived. I jokingly asked him if that neighbour happened to live at number X. He did! Apparently the whole neighbourhood hated him! That made not only my day, but possible my year! |

Today we went shopping. We ordered a sofa (eta last week of September) and my sister ordered a bed and mattress. My bed is coming on Tuesday, and I'm really looking forward to not having to sleep on the floor (on my new mattress). Although my mattress is thick my back isn't too happy and getting up from floor level in the middle of the night at almost 44 years old is a chore, too. |
