My journey started when I moved back home to the Chaleur area of NB, after having been away for almost forty-two years. That is a heck of a long time to be away, isn't it? However, don't let anyone tell you you can't go home again. You can! I did and while what transpired was NOT always easy, I survived and I am gloriously happy.
I am now done with being a "couch whore". Please pardon the expression, but I was. En français ça se dit bien aussi, une putain de sofa. Some prefer the term "couch surfing". Whatever term you prefer, that is what I was. I moved in and out of my rented cottage four times, in and out of my brother's motorhomes four times (each "in" is a move in my books, and each "out" is a move too!) I stayed with my sister, my baby brother, my first brother , my son, my daughter, my friends in Edmonton, Campbellton, Jacquet River, and Florida. Have I mentionned my MOTHER? My wonderful, caring, supportive mother who took me in more than once, and especially when I was at my lowest point, last fall, upon returning from The Camino? I owe her a debt of gratitude I can never repay.
So, it is ANOTHER HAPPY DANCE FOR ME! I bought a home!!!! Je me suis achetée une maison, une semi-détachée, et nous emménageons, moi et Vimy, la fin avril, pour DE BON! J'ai enfin fini de rouler ma bosse un peu partout dans la région Chaleur et dans le monde.
My new home is 0.12 kilometres from my disaster zone apartment, which I moved into in mid November. Some may think I am TOTALLY CRAZY to be moving so quickly and so soon, but.... it was meant to be.
Furthermore, I know there will be NO smell of cat urine in my new house. Alleluia!
Now, if I can just get a hold of the RIGHT mailbox keys from the get-go, life will be perfect!
