ange & lauren’s big mtl adventure

5 days in to the new city. I can’t believe it has been almost a week already, and at the same time it feels like a month. part vacation, part whirlwind, and all adventure. the move thus far has been marked by tiny victories:

-safe/successful roadtrip
-unpacking all (almost) the boxes
-discovering veggie poutine
-purchasing (toute en francais) a laveuse and secheuse
-finding a great epicerie with good, holistic stuff at great prices, less than 5 minutes on foot away
-parallel parking like a champ
-finding my new office without any delay or more importantly without driving OFF Pont Champlain
-uncovering the WORST possible route in the world to drop ange off at school

so dinner is simmering on the stove and ange is at school attending a training session so she can facilitate talks on homophobia, anti-racism and sexual assault to first years. other than making it to work this morning, i’ve spent the day solo, tidying, organizing and a bit of lazing. i am looking forward to picking her up at 10 and hearing all about her day.

so far, so fucking good.
