It is better to trust in courage than luck…
Documenting the drive up here proved more enjoyable and popular than I had anticipated. So, I thought I’d continue in the same vein and post a new note each week on new experiences, at the very least it will keep my parents happy and save the frantic phone calls when I realize that I haven’t been that great at keeping in touch.
Having finally navigated US customs and managed to get my car back, I’m now facing the next challenge- registering it in Canada. In theory this should be easy, but as with most things I’m discovering what a reliance I had on the internet. Usually I would Google search the forms, the places I need to be, and the whole process, if not smooth, would at least have a certain procedure to it. Without the internet I’m kind of at loss of where to start. Luckily, I will be reconnected to both the internet and the phone network tomorrow! Having survived nine whole days without either I’m looking forward to interacting with the cyber community again! Although, I have started to wonder how people functioned without either, or how much extra work we create for ourselves by being so available!
So, the apartment is starting to resemble something vaguely habitable, I have gotten creative and started sewing cushion covers to match new cupboard doors. Never a good thing! When I get creative small children run for cover….
And life generally seems to be returning to a routine and pattern. I have found the gym, although the altitude is higher than I’m used to, and I’m still not sure about running up hills- I’d forgotten all about the delights of hills in Houston. I’ve found a park, and for now the sun is shining and all on the horizon looks exciting and busy.
I’m now off to buy a phone so the man from Shaw can install it for me (apparently not just plugging it into the wall) and I will be back in the world of technology!
