5 Days in Our New House

Well we have been in the house now since Tuesday night and it has been quite the week. Furniture and belongings from both Vancouver and the apartment here in Toronto were both delivered on Tuesday, with a lot of broken stuff and movers who were too lazy to even try and get the couch in the door. Wow what a disaster in so many ways, the garage is filled to the roof and all of our stuff except the essential items needed for a day to day living are still in storage. Wednesday our appliances were delivered and all arrived without delay, running back and forth to the bank to have funds released and returning a rental car took up most of our day and tormented us with the back and forth of phone calls and a hole lot of shit to do. Met our new neighbors on both sides and they all seem quite nice, which is good. The next few days were all about unpacking, sorting through boxes and bins and deciding what we need in the house and what can be stored until renovations are all completed. Yesterday was all about a relaxing afternoon on the back deck with cocktails and cigarettes, Wayne dropped by for a bit and brought Jade over to play with the girls in the back yard, a great afternoon and a nice visit, he is now our first guest and visitor of our new home. Last night we went for a walk to the Danforth and then on down to Broadview where we found this cute little pub with quite the mix of people, all and all a very friendly or so it seemed to be place. Huge Pride flag in the window, which says gay friendly and fun. They had a live band there last night and that was kind of cool, actually liked them because they looked like they loved what they were doing and wanted to be there, not like when you see some bands and stuff in a bar and you can tell they are just there for the money and really don`t give a shit about where they and who is there to support them.
Anyways it was a nice , relaxing and enjoyable night.
Mom called last night and talked again for a bit, she is doing okay, hard for her with Dad in the hospital and all, they have transferred him back to Red Deer from Edmonton again and things seem to be okay for now. Mom was told that he is doing a bit better and one of his aorta behind his heart has broken and is causing the internal bleeding. They can not do any surgery to stop this as he would not make it through that due to his dialisis and other health issues right now. They will probably release him on Monday and send him home again and send him home for Mom to watch, what the hell is wrong with these Alberta Hospitals? My father needs attention and you say you want the bleeding to stop on its own and for the aorta to heel, just seems ridiculous to me.
Well today was spent relaxing and things are great so far in our new neighborhood. Moved a few of the plants outside in the flowerbeds to where I thought they go and relocating plants from a place that made no sense to either Matthew or I. Things are coming along quite well for the time being. This week we have to plan out our fence and go and order those materials, also need to rent a rotatiller and do the back area for a garden, Will keep you all informed in our progress. Hope everyone had a great Easter and thanks for reading.
