Stayed up most of the night writing a paper for my course and I managed to get the damn thing done. Just a short book review and the final exam in 2 weeks and I will be done. Today is a bonus: no snow like there was yesterday morning. I am contemplating a indulgent trip to Lake Louise as the crowds are still manageable and I have beome addicted to the $9 cups of chai at the chateau. But since I am working on very little sleep I might put this off for another day. Have a good sunday everyone

Random thought for the day: Even though I dislike country music I realized today I like Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans (needs a new name for his band). And this is the song that made me a fan. So much a fan that I downloaded the cd from iTunes. And it's all just songs about horses. How cool is that? lol I love it!
I needed to go back and answer some blog comments but am disorganized to do so again. Off the top of my head, I am hoping the little patio I didn't know the condo had can be useful. As of right now there is no way for me to actually get out of the condo to use it (although I could access it from outside). So one renovation is to change the door that leads to it. I think it can be done but I don't know for sure.
Colour scheme I am not sure. Right now its pretty bland and not at all cheerful. Nice just not very interesting. I think I won't get around to even thinking about painting until the fall though. But since I don't anticipate being back in Calgary until late August or early September the summer seems the best time to get the renovations done with no disruptions.
As for my trip to the US, I have not fully worked that out yet. Washington state for sure. Oregon would be nice. Montana on the way home, possibly, depending on the route taken. I am still trying to figure out if such a trip is doable. More details here as I figure stuff out.

I haven't been online much. Lots going on, both good and not so good. But mostly good.
My offer on the condo has been accepted. It is looking like I won't be able to take possession until early August. Which actually isn't bad because I have some other news that is kind of big: I am spending ther summer in Tofino. Or at least some of it. I rented a place for July and August. Not fully accessible but it will do. There is a ton of stuff to do around that. I will be spending some time in Vancouver first, partially to do some things I had planned last fall. Biggest thing is finding caregivers since this will be a solo trip of sorts. My parents are coming but will not be there the whole time. They are not fully convinced this is going to work out but we will see.
Other things: finishing my course, figuring out what renovations I need to make to the condo (not many I think), packing, finding one more caregiver in Tofino, planning a trip to the US in August. Busy.
