hello. i'm cold.

I know I haven’t been blogging. Sorry. Time seemed to move fast forward the past few weeks. Two weeks ago I was moping and scared of moving and now I am here in Kelowna, British Columbia missing the sun and the easiness of life and my friends and him. Moving is inevitable so I have been fighting my sadness by taking walks and discovering the place and at the same time getting drunk with the beauty of late autumn and the being amazed by the cleanliness of the city.

C’est la vie.

Moving here is a 180 degree turn. No more jeep or cab flagging. No more cheap salons. No more tanduay or perspiration. Even the fastfood places are different (service folks in KFC & McDees do not wear hairnets and look really sloppy). The biggest adjustment for me is the cold. Since I walk 10 minutes from the house to work, I find my extremities numb and cold when I get to work or back at home. And winter is just about to start. In a few weeks (not days, I hope) the snow will fall and I will suffer in coldness some more and my skin will dry some more. My cousin, Ianne, is a BIG help in teaching me what to wear and I hope she is right that I will acclimatize soon. That way I will stop grumbling and enjoy going out and focus on more important things like learning the bus routes, doing groceries, going to the lake and raiding thrift shops and going skating and going to the movies. There are a lot of fun things to do, but getting used to the temperature is priority.

I want to write some more but I think the heater is broken. I’m going to snuggle between my warm sheets and have Kermie stare at me to sleep. Cold cold go away, come again another day.
