July 29/08

the one where I get you all caught up....

life moves at warp speed. that's an understatement. why is it time goes by so much faster as you get older? i've tried to theorize it, and i just can't. ah well...this is what life is.

i got my job in Winnipeg so i'm moving in 2 1/2 weeks. i'm silently freaking out because that's not a whole lot of time to prepare, even though I am prepared. it's a weird feeling. i picked up some boxes tonight and felt like building a fort out of them more than packing them, but i did the right thing and packed 5 of them. i need to invite people over to my place to go through things and take them. i never realized i had so much "stuff" tucked away. how do i play these tricks on myself?

my job is only for a year, but the chance of getting on permanent there is good. i'm game for that as i hate moving (but i like setting up a new apartment) and don't want to have to move all of this crap twice in a year. my younger sister/friend type persons boyfriend is lined up to sublet my place (re: take it over b/c i'm probably not coming back) and i'm staying with a couple of friends and will take over their apartment as they are house hunting right now. their apartment is kinda neat - it's in St. Boniface (aka: the French area of Winnipeg which used to be it's own city), it's a character suite, it's in a good spot and it's cute. also, it's hardwood floors, sweet mouldings and spacious and only $15 a month more expensive than my place now. still 2 bedroom, so i can have my computer/sewing/craft room.

also, current work place is going through so many changes right now, i'm happy to get out and work somewhere consistent and be busy all day long!

on a lighter note, here are some of my flickr favourites this week. enjoy!

I miss you already. But, I hope the new place is great! You will have to send pictures. Good luck with the new position, I am sure you will fit right in and just never want to leave.
