monday.

today we’re moving on to mostly the interior of the house. although things are still a mess, as we continue unpacking and putting things away and organizing, which feels like it’ll never end.

but here are an assorment of photos to give you a sense of how the decorating is going. these are the colour schemes we’re using around the house…

and some miscellaneous photos around the house…

(new hydrangea beside trimmed back lilac bush)

our evening of fine dining – welland style – corn on the cob…

kraft dinner…

and bbq’d weiners, all classed up with a glass of red wine…

(laaaaadies???)

can I have some of that too? pleeeeeeeeease??? I’m sitting all pretty and everything…

things are starting to get into a routine, and we’ve unpacked a lot of boxes in the last week, so we’re almost at a point where we won’t have to feel ashamed if someone comes over.

I’ve started trying to run again. I went for a run last wednesday, hurt thursday and friday, then ran again saturday, and went for a long walk-with-purpose through the countryside yesterday. and now as soon as I’m done this entry I’m going to strap on my shoes and go for another run. I’d love to get into a routine of either running or walking every day, as long as I can stay on the wagoon and not get deterred by the cold and crappy weather that will get here eventually. although this week has been nice and sunny, no complaints.

nice and sunny enough to still spend a lot of our time outside. cleaning up dog poop for example…

or just hanging out…

somehow, I managed to get a family doctor here in ontario with my BC care card. I’m going to head to st. catharines to apply for a health card this friday on my day off.

I also finally had to (begrudgingly) apply for my onterrible driver’s licence, get my 5 month old car safetied, and get my new licence plates. which means I have to say goodbye to “beautiful british columbia”. what a shame…

so we’ll end on a happy note with a pretty flower photo to make me feel better…

and this coming weekend, being thanksgiving, martin and I and the pooches will be taking a road trip to ktown to visit the folks. although is it just me, or are the trees really late in changing colour? I remember being lucky if half the leaves were still on the trees by the time thanksgiving day came around.
