Chasing Waterfalls

Hi all, Sherry here. I just wanted to pop in and let people know that Amanda arrived safely in Halifax this afternoon and when I spoke to her around 6 pm (7pm her time), she was happily sitting in her apartment and wondering who the hell was calling her mere hours after her arrival.
She’s […]

Today is the last day I will be a Montrealer. Oh, people will tell me that because I was born and grew up here, I’ll always be one, but no. Tomorrow afternoon, I’ll be a Haligonian (that name actually kinda irks me because it’s, well, dumb).
Tamar, who’s moving from L.A. back to New York […]

Two days to go (after today, that is). I have to buy another suitcase, and I’m trying to figure out if I need another huge one or the next one down in the line. I’d prefer the latter because it makes storing the suitcases away SO much easier. Isn’t it amazing how much crap we […]

I now have a phone number in Halifax! Well, okay, they still have to hook up the line and whatnot, which is scheduled for Wednesday afternoon, but I have a number nonetheless. Woo!
I’m also really happy because initially, I’d asked for the phone AND cable to be hooked up at the same time, since there’s […]

So the days are winding down - it’s very odd (and VERY panic-inducing) to think that I fly out to Halifax - not for a vacation but to live - on Friday. I know I’m doing okay as far as my to-do list is concerned, but you’d never know it from the way my heart […]

Hmm, it’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Sorry about that folks, but I’ve been uber-busy, which I’m sure you understand.
Let’s see - what’s happened since I last updated? Oh, well, I had my last day on Friday, the 12th, which was the only day I had to train the girl who replaced me, the poor thing. […]

Is it just me or is it warm in here?
I went out for lunch with one of my transport guys/friend, and after we ate, the waiter brought over two complimentary shooter glasses of Grappa. He also brought over two glasses of water, and I learned later that some people mix the Grappa with the water. […]

Hmm… Well, just spoke to Bob, told him that I can’t stay any longer because a) I’ve already paid my rent for August and b) I need to find a new job in Halifax and I can’t do that from here.
He seems rather… disappointed. I know it’s hard for him because he’s had such bad […]

Have you ever noticed that sometimes life just works out? I came into work this morning feeling very conflicted. Yes, I’d made the decision to decline the offer Bob made me, but I didn’t feel 100% good about it. I - like everyone else, I know - don’t feel very comfortable with bills. I guess […]

Laura and Katherine had left comments to my last post when I started typing this one, and I do actually agree - they say I should choose going to Halifax now over an old laptop, to show them I can’t be bought. Katherine suggested something my friend Andrea and I discussed when I got home […]
