Mondo Tired

Whew. What an exhausting day. I did tons of stuff at work (lots of detail-oriented work, v. exhausting), and also took care of some personal details including:

– paid Mar 1 property tax installment for old condo
– set up internet payment for and paid Mar 1 tax on new condo
– set up pre-authorized debit for new place monthly condo fees
– got refund for box spring from Sleep Country (finally!)

Still need to work on getting insurance matters straightened out, and look into short-term summer rental options for new place. Also have a wedding shower to attend tomorrow and a whole bunch of NO GIFT ready to take to it. Why am I so good about getting gifts randomly, or even (sometimes) for birthdays, and yet SO CRAP when it comes to weddings? (see: and for more details about not achieving weddingy giftage)

Have been having a bit of a rough time with JVL since his return from NYC. I am being way oversensitive and overreacting to unintentional affronts and just shutting down rather than talking things through: very unlike me. It’s probably just residual panic and fear of loss since hearing about Mum’s little car accident earlier this week. Think I will go visit Mum tonight, despite exhaustion, and JVL said he’ll come too. That should ease my mind that she’s really okay. And that he’s okay. And that we’re okay.

On a sunnier note, my friends and are going on a lovely vacation to the Dominican starting tomorrow! I am sure they will have an incredible, all-inclusive holiday and come back sporting tans and hangovers.

  1. …do you mean you’re planning to rent the new condo to someone for the summer and just need to find a suitable tenant?

    If so, I think we may have just had a gleefully serendipitous moment here. I just began my search for downtown summer accommodation today.

    (Amy’s going to be out of town all summer doing electives, and I’m going to be in no mood to commute from Hamilton to my Bay Street job every day.)

    Let me know.

    In other news, don’t worry too much about your issues with JVL. Everybody goes through weird patches in long-term relationships. The fact that you’ve diagnosed the situation is a good indication that you’re in fine shape. Chin up!

  2. Ha! Maybe *that* could be my most excellent wedding gift to you – cheap(er) rent on a central wicked downtown apartment for the summer. 🙂

    We would have to broker a deal whereby Chrissy and I could still use the workout facilities, since they are awesome and we are out of shape. Also where Dave could stay at the condo whenever he and Jordan visit from NYC, since I already told him that was “cool”.

    Hey, it’s your condo. I don’t think much deal-brokering would be necessary.

    I would actually consider their presence an amenity that I would pay *extra* for. 🙂

    Seriously — are you planning to rent out the condo for the summer? If so, wicked. Let me know the details (when it would be free, what you’d want for rent, and all that jazz) and we’ll see if the stars align.

    Fun!

  4. …by “free” in the last sentence there, I of course mean “available” as opposed to “free of charge.” I’m a fun guy to have around, but I’m not so much fun as to warrant free lodging. 🙂

  5. How cool would THAT be? renting from Moira would put you about a five minute walk from my home. And hey, you could come work out with us, too! We can be one of those intimidating exercise room gangs! With you in our ranks, we’d be like, 33% less pasty! 😉
