I am cautiously optimistic that we have found a new place to live in Burnaby. It’s only about 3 blocks from our old place. Kelly and Paul looked at it tonight: 2 bedrooms, (small) kitchen and living room open to each other, shared laundry, clean, to be painted, etc. Cheaper than our current place too.
All that remains is to get the landlord a deposit—Kelly and/or Paul should be dropping it off tomorrow. The landlord is an older-sounding Chinese woman. Communicating by phone has been a bit of a challenge, but I think we understand each other. I’m still not sure she totally understands that I’m not in Vancouver, though.
That’s a load off. Now, all I have to do is get a plane ticket, book movers, forward the mail, buy a car (for NC), figure out how to get to the airport, and actually get some work done at some point. [shakes fist in the direction he imagines his current landlord to be]
