MOVING!

Well, we are taking a page from 444's book and ditching the unclean apartment. The Boy found three fat, contented cockroaches in our utensil drawer, so an executive decision was made, I was duly informed, and the household voted to relocate (except for one nay-saying furball who likes to hunt and eat the six-legged prey). Hopefully we will find a good place for November. 

Also,  the Canadian gov't clearly got a cut-rate bulk deal on breadline communist-era, Kafka-inspired passport offices, and had them shipped complete (including redtape and surly staff) to cities all across our otherwise friendly and efficient land. Although for some inexplicable reason, the surly bastards running my passport office have french accents. FIVE HOURS in various line ups - FIVE HOURS. All to go to the US of A for a business trip, where they no doubt have my name red-flagged and an orange jumpsuit waiting for me at the customs desk in Charlotte, NC.

BAH.

not yet! I had to go to South Carolina for a week for work (American south - very weird. Liposuction commercials on morning radio) and we haven't even had a chance to talk to our landlord yet. I feel bad for him- his wife has breast cancer and she is very ill. He spends all of his time at the hospital. At the same time though, we can't put it off indefinitely because it might cause him extra stress. We have our own issues about moving - we need to find a place that we can have a parking place at and one that has washer dryer hookups, and we need to do it before spring.... I am three months pregnant! :) It was planned and we are happy about it. We went through the whole should we/shouldn't we overpopulation people suck the world is going to hell thing, but ultimately decided that if the only people who were supplying the next generation were money grasping resource using short sighted people, or people who are ignorant of and uncaring about the state of things, then who is going to help us change the world? We need bright caring individuals brought up to believe in change, ecological preservation, individual freedoms and responsibilities, etc, and we think we can help create that person. So there you go. Tiny little zeri-yeh at the end of march...
