Ugh, the novelty has worn off already. I’ve at least got a nice collection of green bags, boxes and garbage bags piling up ready to shuffled off to the new place on the weekend.

Hurrah! And I spent yesterday getting the gas, electricity and internet arranged. I’ve also put in my order for ink samples and two new (very inexpensive) fountain pens with Goulet Pens, I am desperately excited about them and already haiga are bubbling away in my mind, fitting themselves to different ink tones. It’ll be a few weeks before I have the net at my new place so the blogging might have to be a little patchy for awhile. I’ll do my best. Thankfully I wont be totally cut off as I have a little data included on my phone plan. I like being on the internet. I feel all connected and in the loop. I remember when I was in the homeless shelter, my mobile phone was my lifeline to the outside world. I was so attached to I slept with it in my hand. I feel a little bit that way about my computer now, although we have a more formal, restrained relationship and it stays on my desk. 🙂

If all goes well and I’m paid today I’m off to pay the deposit and advance rent on my unit, and get down to some more packing. Wish me luck!
