I’ve been at my new place for 2 days now and I’m loving it. I have a little apartment in my friend’s mother’s house basement, bathroom, living room, office, nice bedroom (they decorated it for me, how cute). I have a huge Quebec flag in front of me to remind me of where I am, ouais! But I have access to the rest of the house, washing room, the kitchen and I feel like I’m living with a cool roommie. I like it here! Sure it gets lonely sometimes and I won’t deny I’ve teared up a little, but it’s good… it’s all good.
Last night I went out with Madi, took a walk on Racine Street, stopped at library, hit the mall (didn’t buy anything!) then we went for coffee at Tim Hortons (finally, yum!) and then I went home, got comfy and watched a couple of chick flicks from my DVD collection. I was busy this morning, did laundry, finished organizing my things, made lunch, took a shower and now I’m kidnapping Madi’s PC because my machine hasn’t made it here yet, hopefully next week.
Plans for later today? None, ha ha ha! Go home, make dinner and probably watch TV or another movie. I’m all alone now, better get used to it and then it’s gonna be just fine. Next week’s gonna be really busy with the job interview and then I’ll have get me another job on the side, call the University because I want to take a few classes… Oh boy! I guess I really won’t have time to get bored. Thank God for that!

I’m home now, got here at 8:30 last night. I found a housewarming gift from a good friend, a CD mix containing this song called ¨Happy¨ by The Wrens. I’ve heard about it, knew the lyrics, I just never listened to it before. It’s cool, kind of distorted at the beginning, but then it makes sense and what starts being a sad story becomes a happy one, I guess. It made me think of Patrice this morning when I was unpacking… It’s all back to me now. I’m alone, in an unknown land, starting all over again, it’s overwhelming, I’ve felt like crying all morning, but I won’t cry, there’s no reason to cry… I have this amazing opportunity for a new life.
I’m all settled, have a lovely little apartment at my friend’s mother’s house, I have my friend just in front of my place, this is such a beautiful area, people are nice, I already made friends with the neighbour. I have a job interview on Tuesday and I don’t lack of anything, except for groceries that I will get later today, heh. Yes, I should be happy. I am happy. This was my decision, this is what I wanted, I made it all the way here and things can only get better, like the song.

So, I’m ready to go now. Will be at my final destination tonight, then I have to get settled and who knows when I’ll be on line, but let’s hope very soon. I have my PC with me, Fab was nice enough to provide me with peripherics that were missing (dear P kept it all… so nice!) and I’ll guess I’ll find an ISP as soon as I have everything else ready.
The trip’s gonna be “funny”, I’m taking the bus, but I have more baggage than allowed, so I have to pay extra, but everything is in the planned budget and I have to go home anyway, so I’m not worried about it. Now I have to run to Staples and find something to put my PC in and then I’ll be ready to go. Someone really special told me last night that I’m going to be sitting on top of the world really soon… I don’t want to be on top of the world, but I sure want a nice front row seat.
Who knows, maybe I’ll be back in Montreal sooner than expected since I’m waiting to hear about that job and people keep telling me there are really good chances for me, but for now I’m going north after my new life and I’m going to try to make the best of it. Weaving dreams… I’m going to start weaving dreams to make them come true.
Be back later!

Phone calls have been made, government services have been contacted, address has been changed, marital status has been changed (yikes! divorce will be final within a couple of months) and now I’m ready to go to my new home tomorrow. I love this country, so organized, you get everything done in minutes, by phone or the internet, no lines, no hassle. Brand new life in less than two days. I think I’ll just relax for the rest of the day, take Elisa and the kids for lunch, visit Fab in the afternoon and then we’ll see how the evening goes (*evil grin*). Gotta take a shower and get ready as soon as clothes are out of the dryer. Now it’s time to Fisher-Price with Jeremy, heh! Kids are cutest thing, but Elisa keeps asking me if I really want one of those for myself, ha ha ha! I sure do… one day!

Relaxing morning, yummy lunch with friend @ Nickels, cruising mall with friend, driving around with friend, relaxing afternoon, getting in touch with people on the phone, chai latte with interesting guy in the evening (*wink*). And then… and then… phone call about possible job in Montreal. Oh yeah, eventful day, can’t complain. I’m ready to hit the hay, the world’s turning a little bit fast for me, but I’ll get used to it. This is fun! And I’ll get to see Fab tomorrow, w00t!
