I had dinner with Cousin Trev (and company) on Saturday night, and he let me know that it's been a while since I've posted much of anything on the old LJ. This led me to reminisce about times when I had nothing better to do (not *nothing* to do, just nothing *better*) and, finding myself with few small moments of "nothing better to do," I've decided to give the world a long-awaited update.
So...I am now living (and still working) in the Kitsch. Yes, I did hole up in Mom's basement for the summer, but I've reclaimed my independence and reduced my commute by resuming residence in the city that refuses to love me back. Although things didn't work out quite as well as planned (i.e. still no permanent job) I've decided to stick it out for another year and see what happens. This is starting to feel like home...and living in the exact same place for the next year ought to help with that a bit, too.
This is my first night in my new place. Last night would have been, but I left my keys in Drayton. So tonight, after a somewhat awkward, somewhat enlightening book club meeting, I did a bit more shopping and then settled in to scrubbing the heck out of my new bathtub. Things are looking brighter, thanks to America's Favourite Eunuch, Mr. Clean, and his Magic Eraser which is truly worthy of its name. My eyes are stinging from the chemicals and furious scouring, and my place now smells like a community pool, but the seven outermost layers of grey have been removed. (Hah! America's Favourite. You know U loves it!)
Pictures of the new place will follow, but for now my living room is completely bare and things aren't quite clean enough for me to show you. (Yes, even Little Miss Messy has standards.) Stay tuned. And, hey: stay smilin'! |
