So I've moved in to my new place with Jason nearly 2 weeks ago now. Things are slowly coming together and things taking back their appropriate space (hurray for a functional kitchen and living room/dining room!!).
I came to realize this week that every sticky situation always comes with a blessing in disguise. When I hear that we needed to move from our old place, I was torn. Leave the place that initially helped me crawl out of the darkness? The place where our lives finally started making sense? But as time went by and we were looking for apartments, things were starting to surface out of nowhere ( I'm talking mould, cracks in walls, etc). With that, I realized that all our health problems probably were related! Even with the little time it took us to find the new place and move, we quickly became prepared to embark on this new adventure together and take over the new apartment and make it ours!
Now we're talking of a century old building, in the south-west of Montreal. Crooked window and door frames, slanted floors, skylight with windows you cannot open (too old!)... And you would probably think that's a nightmare. But it's what gives it it's charm! 12ft ceilings? 3 floor with view of the Mount Royal and part of downtown? We're in love! It took me a while at first because I was looking at the defects rather than the potential. I'm glad I changed my mind!
Things seem to be getting better. Winter blues seem to be melting away. Spring is here! Of course, the arrival of spring means mother nature is out of control, temper wise! So it raining one day, 15 degrees, and the next day it snows.. She's all over the place!
Whatever. I just can't wait to put away ALL winter gear! ( Good bye! So long! Ta-ta! Farewell!!) Done, done, DONE!
