I bought a new toy on Friday. One of these little suckers. I know, why get an electric eraser? Does this make me a lazy ass? Well, no. Not entirely. The purpose of the eraser is for highlighting purposes mainly. You know, for hair, eyes, etc, etc. I haven’t really used it yet. Soon hopefully.

I didn’t get a chance to do any work this weekend. I am trying to g et a jump on cleaning the apartment before we move. I know, we aren’t moving until October 31st, but I don’t wanna leave all the hardcore stuff - washing walls, washing windows, washing cupboards - until the last minute when I should be worrying about other shit.

If you are interested in my move ramblings, there is more after the jump.

I sent our notice to our current landlord on Saturday. I had to send it registered and everything (fancy!), which to be honest, I should have been doing all along because my landlord is notorious for “losing” my letters. Anyway, this notice is kind of tricksy because we aren’t 100% on the place we are supposed to be renting. My friends won’t actually know until September 29th if they are approved for immigration to Argentina. They fly out to Toronto to have a meeting at the consulate. But if we wanted to move for November 1st, we needed to give them our notice before October 1st. Blergh. A damned if you do, damned if you don’t type of thing.

Despite my earnest attempts not to worry, I’d be lying if I said there weren’t pangs of stark terror. It would just plain suck ass if this whole thing fell through. I’ve gotten my hopes up, I won’t lie. But, it wouldn’t be the complete end of the world. We’d still have a month to find something else and let’s face it, kids, I’m like a pitbull when it comes to stuff like this - especially if there is a possibility that I would be homeless. So I have no doubt that we’d find a place - even if it was for six months or something until we found something we’d really want. I’ve already started to keep my eye on online rental places. So I’m not completely putting all of my eggs in one basket.

I gotta say, I can’t wait until we are in a position to buy a house. Something we have discussion a lot more lately. I know I haven’t had my share of moving woes, not like other people, but damn, I just do not like it. I think its probably because I am getting older and crap.

I want something that is mine, ya know?
