New directions, new plan, new place—not moving to Toronto

Many of you probably either saw this coming or are pretty relieved or both. The consensus was (and is) that I would be pretty miserable in Toronto. They are right, I would be.

In fact, for the last two months I’ve really been off my game and it is directly related to me moving to Toronto.  I was dreading the move.  The winters, the hot summers, being away from the ocean and my BC friends, none of these things were great things in my book.

So last Friday-Saturday I decided I needed to call it all off and make a change for myself that would make me happy.

I did decide to move very quickly.  I also think my gut reaction for why to move (to be closer to kids) was good. I just didn’t give myself time to really think about it.  I decided the course and went off like a shot (yeah no, I never do that, uh huh).

I am very excited about moving to Vancouver.  Very excited.  Even with the now added stress of finding a place to live and coordinating a move around my vacation (no freakin’ way I’m skipping that), I’m pretty calm.

For the obvious questions:

  • Yes I’m still with b5.  That isn’t changing.
  • Yes, I’ll miss my kids, but I’ll fly to see them and do Skype video

I’m actively looking for a nice 1 br place in the West End or West Van. I now have a loverly set of bunk beds (with a twin and double mattress) available and probably at least one small dress.

My kids’ clothes, for the most part, will get donated because they will have grown out of them by the time they visit me.

That about does it.

Questions from the floor?

    if you want a green couch – you are totally welcome to mine.
    its a good couch, and deserves a good home. it just doesnt belong with me anymore.

    let me know if you want it.

    Well fine, then. I guess I’ll still buy you lunch.

    You might just have to wait a while til I’m out that way again. :)

    Also, congrats on a nice, healthy decision. Here’s to painless apartment hunting and moving!

    Glad to see you finally let everyone know. Some of us were wondering when you were going to let the cat out of the bag.

    Good for you on choosing what you want to do in your life. Your kids will love you for it in the end.

    Boo. I was looking forward to beating you to work on my bike despite the fact that I live farther away.
