| Horseshoe Bay by the ferry terminal, 12 October 2023 |
It seems the older I get the more amazed I am that I can hop in a cab at 6:30 a.m. in Toronto and be on the west coast of Canada the morning of the same day.
What's even more amazing is the state of the home that I left behind. There's nothing in the fridge; the cupboard is literally bare. The dining room furniture has been pushed to the walls so our new appliances can wait there for their turn to be put into useful service.
Daniel, the project manager for our kitchen reno, asked us if we had done it on purpose, scheduled a trip and a major home project at the same time.
Well, no, that was a coincidence. The trip's been planned since April. We didn't start talking about the kitchen reno until July. We thought we might be able to overlap the two, but most of the people we talked to said they were booking into November.
As it is, the tear-out is scheduled for October 25, and our return flight is on the 26th. We're going to couch surf at a friend's place in Toronto for a couple of days, and then go into voluntary exile in Belleville for the duration.
I deeply and completely wish everyone in the world right now had our problems.
Thanks for reading.
