It has been a month

Sacre bleu! It has been a month since my last post. That saddens me. I had meant to be the kind of person who blogs more often.

It has been a busy month, I can promise you that. I won't bore you with the work details. I would bore myself to death, this post would abruptly come to an end with a "Zzz" and the goal of completing a new blog post would remain unfinished. So, on to other things.

I bought an apartment. Well, I technically executed a contract of sale on it more than two months ago, but it took a period of time to get from there to securing a mortgage in this tight credit market to then having my board interview (it's a cooperative society) to then finally scheduling the closing to finally getting to . . .

This stage, which is in contracting hell. As in dealing with contractors. I am having my floors polished, closets redone with shelves, cabinets removed, cabinets added, and this has caused some more repairs (kitchen wall must be plastered, baseboard moulding in the living room must be fixed). But yes, I am a homeowner.

Which feels wonderful. Although right now I'm mostly nomadic, staying with different friends.

[Side note: Am grateful to have friends who have helped me out. Thank you.]

I will blog more, I promise. But rest assured that I have been busy over the last couple of weeks. This Caveboy has been getting out of his cave. The next few monthsare going to be busy with all sorts of stuff, including (a) weddings (in June, July, August, September and October), furniture buying (looking for all sorts of things, including light fixtures -- oh job), (c) welcoming the arrival of summer (I think, not sure given recent weather) and more and more and more.
