Well I did it, I found an apartment! It is 4 minutes from work and is 4 blocks from a mall and Safeway and a bunch of restaurants. It is even 3 blocks from the Brick where I will be looking to buy my furniture from….well most of it. I gave the guy a list at the Brick last night and asked him to get me a good deal. I do have a friend that works at the Brick and she can get me some good deals as well, but she is really busy and I suspect I would get the furniture in time. So as long as this guy locally does me a great deal I won’t bother my friend too much.
There is also a rink right around the corner which is good as I am hoping to play some shinny hockey this year. It has been a while since I strapped on some skates and I am looking to go out and have fun playing. I am also looking to play some racquetball or squash as well. I am going to sign up at the YMCA Friday and get some exercise in a few times a week. I like the Y as it has a lot of what I am looking for. I may even hire a trainer in a while to help me get back into toning once I lose some more weight. I don’t want to be down 60-70 pounds and have skin folds. I want to be able to work out and hopefully tone up as I go along.
I actually drove around the city yesterday without a GPS. I am starting to get a feel for the pace after a couple days. I am figuring out the main drags and (N to S and E to W) it is getting easier to find stuff. I only went shopping on Sunday when I got here so I have a lot more exploring in that area to do. I imagine now that I have a place, that I will be out shopping Friday to Sunday for stuff for the apartment.
I want to do it in bunches as it is on the 3rd floor so I will have a lot of hauling to do. I will be getting lotsa exercises as there is no elevator. 6 months ago that would have been a problem; today I am looking at it as part of my exercise program.
So we are work today, here on Canada day. The site decided to work today and take the Friday off which is ironic as we work 4 days here and technically have Friday off. I am actually looking forward to being off work on weekends now, and my plan is to be home 3 weekends a month. The weekend I stay here I will work the Friday.
My friend Jason called me last night from the Middle East(ern part of Saskatchewan). He is ok guy but a little scatter brained most of the time. I don’t suspect I will see him much unless he is looking for something.
My friends in Edmonton are helping me out a lot while I have come to Regina. I hope I can repay them for their help. I will have to do a couple more BBQ and fatten them up , and make them happy….and fatter than me….and then I too will be happy haha Kidding !!
I Am a happy Jedi Worker now and the Force is strong in me now,…The Work Force….
Til Tomorrow,….
