Yes, we have moved in!

Finally, we are home.

Saturday, January 7 - we moved into our new executive condo. A multi-level, 3 bedroom place that we leased for 6 months and could take a dog. This place actually has a huge amount of living space, but the 2 smaller bedrroms are very small. No backyard for our dog.

Sunday, January 8 - we attend our new church for the first time.

Monday, January 9 - kids start school - furniture arrives.

Tuesday, January 10 - Main floor unpacked. Meet with my new boss and tour my sales area.

Wednesday, January 11 - Finally take van in for ABS repairs. $1076 later they finally work.

Thursday, January 12 - Kristen J, our first out-of-town visitor arrives. She brings Mundare sausage, for which I was very grateful.

Friday, January 13 - Friday the 13th. Wouldn't you know it! Spirit, our miniature poodle manages to open the tamperproof mousebait box and devours a block of neurotoxin. The animal hospital comes to the rescue by making her throw up and feeding her charcoal to absorb the poison... total cost: $263 (I declined the IV and private room). Poison control calls and says that it should not hurt her. Oh well... there goes my federal energy rebate... if I ever get one.

In other news, phone and internet access is hooked up.

Congratulations on not being homeless! I hope it all works out well. New church...ahh...I suppose this is the one where Saundra is working, wot?

I think the dog was perhaps indicating her displeasure at no back yard, and became depressed. Apparently, she had not read the warnings, and the note that it was, in fact, tamperproof. There are animal shrinks, you know. And why would would you want to bait mice into your new house? They should be wooed outside where the neighbour's cat can have some fun, and tasty mousy munchies.

Good to hear Kristin brought the requisite admission fee.
