Small city life

There's a lot of advantages to living in a Northern city. There's a lot more plus sized clothes in the second hand stores, for one! People are friendlier, and generally just helpful and nice.

I had forgotten how to relax. I'm calming down, just being here. It's strange. Taking time to see the sky, the moon, the clouds.

The mountain is changing colour. It's turning yellow and orange. It's fall. The trees on the golf course are turning. There's frost in the air.

I'm excited. I love fall. I'm a bit worried about the -40 winter that's coming. I think I need to get a down jacket. (and knit some more hats).

I miss the cats. My lap is cold. Although my carpets dont have little black patches from where they sit, and my clothes are not furry. Still, I miss them.

I miss my family, and my friends. I miss Costco, and IKEA. Other than that, I'm doing OK here. I'm texting people, using the FB, trying to keep in touch. Making some new friends, and trying to be social, which I am not so good at. I will eventually learn to break down my shell. :)
