Although my day didn't start off the best, it ended up to be pretty good. Canada Post is threatening to strike so I needed to get to the Post Office today. But looking out my window this morning it looked grey. The clouds hung dark like they were ready to burst open at any moment. Hmmm I had to walk there with two boxes on my walker. If it rained it would ruin my boxes. But they wouldn't be open on the weekend so it had to be today. So I piled the boxes up and then covered them with my windbreaker jacket. That would atleast protect my stuff if it rained. I walked as fast as I could manage with two precariously perched boxes bouncing around on the walker. I must have looked a sight pushing that thing up and down the hills of Fergus. But I managed to make it there dry. So I was able to ship out two more boxes today. Six in total. Dianne said she has already received the first 4. So they are waiting for me when I get there. It was a hot and humid walk and by the time I got home I was sweating and exhausted.
Kirk dropped by and we went for a strawberry milkshake and sat out in a park in Elora. By this time there was no sign of rain at all. The sun was out and it was really lovely just sitting on a bench down by the river. I always feel better when I get to sit in nature and this did seem to replenish my spirit. By the time we got home my memories of the post office marathon walk was just a distant memory.
And I got rid of some more stuff. Marketplace is driving me mad with the flaky people who say they will pick it up and then don't show. But the ones who did helped me get rid of a lot more. My apartment looks quite empty now. Making my move all the more real. But looking around ~ I have no regrets. I needed a change. And I am anxious to just get on with it now.
8 more days and counting!!!!
