It's been a busy week. The last strata meeting was Thursday, so once the AGM minutes are done, I'm no longer council secretary. Work in Vancouver was done on Friday. For being gone for only a year we've spent a lot of time saying goodbye. Two on Friday night, one on Saturday, and two more today. The bulk of the time over the last three days has been final preparations to move, though. For doing a house swap we seem to be doing a lot of packing, too. Most personal items are now in storage, with a few more to go tomorrow (poor Ebow will be without his cat tree). Clothes to take with us on the plane are basically done and everything we're shipping is finally ready to go.
As usually happens when we move, we realize how much stuff we have. And we have too much stuff. Far too much. The next year will be an interesting experiment living more simply - despite everything we're taking with us. When we get back, the plan is to get rid of even more. We need to travel more lightly through life.
Friday night was a wonderful (but expensive) dinner at Hapa Izakaya. Sunday was a wonderful (but expensive) dinner at Raincity Grill. This morning was a reasonable and good (but very slow) brunch at Locus with non-stop Americanos. Tonight was a cheap (but good) dinner from Red Burrito.
A little bit of panic as we question what we're doing again and whether the house swap will turn out to be a good thing or not. One more day to wrap everything up and clean - then we leave for Toronto. This had damn well better be worth it.
