Music: Empty- Metric

Okay, okay, I know. There have been various comment to the effect that I have been letting this old blog slip. I have no excuse. Will you believe me if I say it will never happen again? Yeah, I don't blame you, I wouldn't believe me either. So we'll just get along with the catching up shall we?

Since my last post... I have wandered St. Catherine's St. Taken a bus trip from Montreal to my aunt's house in New Brunswick. The bus ride was eventful. Not so terrible that I didn't want to get right back on and go retrive my hairbrush, and deliver forgotten books to my cousin. The most notable part, was the large [and I mean, very large] smelly man who sat beside me for a good chunk of the trip. He snored, and his hands kept falling off his incredibly round belly and landing in my lap. However, otherwise completely uneventful.

Once in New Brunswick I stayed at my aunts house and hung out with my cousin for a couple of days. It wasn't long before I was back on the road at three in the morning. My aunt and I drove Hannah down to the airport so she could fly to Canmore [I am very very excited about seeing her more often once I get home!!!]. After delivering her to the airport we drove to a nearby mall and slept in the parking lot until nine-ish. We then proceded to wander the mall for the following six hours, until it was time to retrive my mother from the airport and drive the couple of hours back home.

The following day I was awoken quite early to be picked up by my grandfather and be taken to my Grandparent's house for the week. Their house is slightly scary. I'm sure you could find any number of toxic moulds in their basement. Which explains my lack of an update, the computer is down there, and I was limiting my contact with the basement to checking e-mail. My Grandmother wasn't around much because she bounced out of retirement the instant there was a Wal-Mart built in the nearby town. We went to visit her there and I bought some yarn to make long furry scarves, and while I was in the checkout line the power went out. That was exciting.

On friday I grudgingly piled my stuff, yet again, into my backpack loaded my aunt Adeline's car, took off with her, my mother and eventually my aunt Elaine, and drove down to Halifax. We spent the weekend at my cousin Nicole's house. We went to see Matt Andersen [check out his version of Ain't No Sunshine and No Woman, No Cry] spent some time in a local pub, and tried to befriend Nicole's cat Russel. This morning the Auntie's and Mom left, and that brings us up to speed.

I am spending the week here in Halifax. Yesterday we all went to Peggy's Cove which was stunningly beautiful. So far I adore Halifax, it doesn't seem like a city at all.

I am enjoying my trip. I am, as I keep saying, learning so much. I have nearly filled my notebook with all of the things I want to remember. I am loving the person that I am, and spending time by myself. I love my family. And while you remember that last comment I will state that my mother is a very stressful person to live with, I'm just sayin.

I am so excited to start my new life back home. I do miss working, not where I was working, just working. I've been doing a lot of dishes on this journey. My mother has fallen in love with Russel, this is also excellent because I am not allergic to Russel, or any other Siamese cat I've met, which means that we can get a siamese cat. Previously mom has issues with Siamese cats, something about them being evil, which I don't think she really believed anyway. This is my new mission, my family will have a cat by christmas. I can't wait to meet new people in Calgary and get a new job, and start taking that dreaded math class, and a french class, to sort everything out, and have some spare time to do some art.

I feel like I am leaving everything out. I have pictures, many many pictures, which will be posted just as soon as I am home. [We all know that is not entirely true.] Who know's when the next update will be, I make no promises.

Love.
