On the move!

Some madness overcame me recently and I decided the living room had to be painted this summer. I’ve spent hours taking down artwork, polyfilling walls, and emptying the living room of everything except large furniture. Thank goodness I had the remaining sanity to hire Keith to do the actual painting!

When I was leaving for work the other day, I glanced around at the half-empty room and thought, “It feels like I’m moving.” And then it struck me—I am. I am moving on in my life in a big way. Change is coming fast!

When Glen steps off the plane at Pearson in less than two weeks, my life will change forever. I will marry for the second and final time in my life. We are having a small intimate wedding with a few chosen family members attending. It is exactly what we want. We will hold a big family bash in the new year for North American family and friends—but that is the least of my worries now!

It has been a summer of counting down the days: on the summer solstice, I thought. “I will marry six months from today” and then it has been the countdown to Glen’s arrival. Five months is far too long to be parted from one’s beloved. But now as his arrival draws closer, all I can think is “How am I going to get everything done before I leave for at least 6 months????” Regular doses of Bach Elm remedy will be needed to keep me balanced!

Bring in on! Thankfully Friday was my last day of work!
