The Cupcake Incident...AKA: Sorry Megan and Greg...

April Fools?

Fate or stupidity. I still can not decide. I have yet again followed my impulsive instincts, and on my way to sign a 12 month lease for an affordable 2 bedroom apartment located centrally downtown St. Catharines, (and practically across from work!!) I faltered and out of curiosity (for the only reason I can justify) went 30 minutes out of my way to check out a small bachelor apartment in the neighboring ghost town I grew up in.

It was hard not to instantly fall in love with it's charm, and such a great price, the owner throwing more and more bills in for free as I zoned out and weighed the options, all of a sudden the inconvenient location and size was no longer an issue and I handed over a deposit. A place to my own. And it's NICE! And CHEAP!

There is something absolutely heart dropping sad that washes over someone when they go to move and there is someone still living there. No boxes in sight, just the empty promises that it will work out from the landlord. So many thoughts rushed through my head...was I scammed? Where will I live now? What if I can't find a place? Can I get my money back? Am I being crazy, maybe it will work out?

After stopping by through out the day, and eventually heading into the job and attempting to "work" I finally heard back from my landlord....there had been a mishap with dates and though I couldn't move into my apartment for yet a month, the airy 2 bedroom apartment in the front of the building with dreamy french windows was available until then.

It was such a great place to stay, like being on holiday. The perfect transitional space. I was able to have a friend in between places stay with me, we had enough space to throw a kick ass party for another friend, and I was given a place to breathe and think and spend time weeding through "stuff" that had been in storage for years.

I have been since dreaming of getting Boredom Pulled the Trigger back up, and have just now set up the scanner! Hopefully soon I will be abandoning BPT for good and replacing it with something else, but till then, I'm Back!

saskatchewan, here i come..?

Closing the WEST HILL CHAPTER

i would like to do a special shout out; to nick, for giving me a place to live while i get myself back on track, to my family, especially my mom, who have been supportive and consistent with lifting my spirits, and to my friends, who have braved the cold to help me move, to help me look for a job, and who have just sat and watched tv with me and provided me with excellent company. HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
