Calgary weather today? +16. Very nice. But, countdown to Mexico is 36 days. Even better. Whoopie.
Nixon and I have started training for surfing & swimming. He, on the treadmill, 20 minutes everyday this week, 25 minutes today, building up the stamina (probably not necessary, although he wants to loose those extra 2 pounds around the belly jiggler). Me, doing weights, working on those paddler muscles. Josh, well, he insists he’s already in the best shape. : )
Our house is officially and utterly sold, complete with orange sold sticker on the sign. I thought I would be really pleased with this, although after doing a bit of house hunting, we’ve realized our search won’t be that easy. We are extremely discriminating buyers. We like what we like, and that’s why we want to do a reno, or else we risk not finding what meets our needs, both structurally or aesthetically. In fact, it seems after searching the past 8 places, that none of them really float our boat, and i think its looking more like we’ll be waiting until we get home from Mexico, or shopping online from there.
I got my VW back from the shop yesterday, but not without some hitches. Some of the front headlights don’t work, so its going to the dealership to get “figured out”. That, I will tell you, is the problem with technology. No one can figure it out, unless they are “specialized”. For pete sakes. The same thing happend with the acura when we replaced the glass in the window post break-in. The glass replacers couldn’t figure out the computer in the door, and the window “thought” it was up when it was down and then they broke something else. Nothing is simple anymore. Whatever.
Tomorrow, we’re going to pick up some boxes, and get this move started. Mother hubbards cupboard is already pretty bare, and we’re off to a good start.
