Things coming along
Hello Everyone,
I did a big school push last night and finished the assignment I needed to do for my payroll course last week. So, I'm rather tired today but it's one less thing on my mind. My course was on benefits and compensation and was more interesting than I expected. Basically I learned about group benefits packages - health, dental, flex plans, life insurance, etc. My final assignment was to advise a new owner what kind of package would be suitable for his company.
Tomorrow is Mike's annual vet appointment. Hopefully he's on his best kitty behaviour.
I've started changing our utilities over to the new address. We get possession as of the 1st (maybe sooner). I'm very super excited. Since it's not far from our current place, I'll move little things each night using my little old lady cart. We can also move boxes in Jerry's cargo bike as it can hold 5 file boxes. We also brought our diningroom table set home that way in the fall. That will leave just a few large items that we'll need a vehicle for. Jerry hopes to borrow a truck from work. I have someone from work interested in taking our garden.
No plans for the long weekend. I am having an IUD insertion on the Thursday so I plan to take it easy. Jerry hopes to go to the mountains and snowboard down Rae Glacier. I have no desire to see snow in summer. It will mean quiet time for moving a few things, study time and I can complete my final assignment for Statistics. After this course, I think I'll take a month or two off. I need a break. I will be at the almost half-way point of my studies - 6 classes done, 7 to go once that course finishes up.
It was a rainy weekend and we were in Lethbridge visiting Jerry's family. Our rental had a sun roof and I had a lot of fun playing with it. If you stick your hands up and down, the person driving can feel it in the steering wheel. Today looks like a nice day and we finally have some proper sun.
Have a great day!

Hello Everyone,
Yep, the search is on. We gave our notice to move out at the end of July. Keith is moving out at the end of the month and our house is too big, the rent is too high, there's too much work and the utilities are crazy.
We're looking for a 2 bedroom suite that allows pets in the general area we're currently in.
As soon as you add in the pets, you go from 7 pages of listings to 2.5.
We fell in love with one that we saw on Wednesday but haven't heard back yet. Will follow up with them later today. We saw a small place last night that I didn't like and we have another one to see tonight. There are also a few more I want to check out.
We weren't planning to move so soon but there was a lot available and the first place required us to give our notice since they would be phoning our current landlord. And it will mean a better chance to avoid the students. And we'd have a month to downsize and move. Which I like. It's expensive since you're paying rent at two places but the stress level is less than half and it'll be a considerable downsize.
We've donated a bunch of "stuff" already and a few furniture pieces. I think we're dropping off electronics this weekend.
We're heading to Lethbridge for the weekend to visit with Jerry's family.
And I have no idea what we're doing with the garden yet.
Have a good day!

Scary News with a Happy Ending
Hello Everyone,
So Joseph had an accident on Tuesday. He was up in Greg & Stacey's room and fell through the screen of the window onto the porch.
They airlifted him to London (a helicopter adventure) and did all sorts of test.
The result? A concussion, a fractured cheekbone and a broken arm.
That's it! It's amazing what children's bodies are capable of handling. His arm is casted "It's stuck" and is already starting to heal. His cheekbone stayed in place and they don't need to do anything with it and the swelling around his eye has come down.
So, when we come visit in a couple months, he'll be able to compare arm breaks with Uncle Jerry (who has some "cool looking" scars from his).
Mom said that he's eaten yougurt and is sitting up. Cast'll be on for probably 4 weeks or so. The big thing will be to keep him slowed down enough that he doesn't wack his head again until it's fully healed.
Maddy can't wait for Joseph to come home so she can colour his cast.
