Holy! Cars = Expensive

Hi Hi, sorry for the delay in posting! Its been a busy few days out here :)

I am happy to report that our movers arrived early last Thursday morning, and let me tell you, the boy and I were both BEYOND excited to get our kitchen stuff and be able to finally start making some decent meals. I am nearing the end of the unpacking - its only what? ... 4 days later now ... that's not too bad. The boy had a mild freak-out on the weekend over how many pairs of shoes and purses I shipped, I however - do not see a problem with this - they are very necessary in my life :)

In addition to that, my car (or Civi - as I call her) arrived around lunch on Friday - so it was a good 48 hours. I had to get cracking right away on getting her properly outfitted for Calgary weather. Right now we are in the midst of a hot week and today's temperature was a high of +10 - which I'm quite enjoying - but I have a feeling it won't last long. So I called around and got quotes on snow tires and a block heater so I'll be prepared for the winter. But holy hell someone forgot to tell me how expensive all this stuff is! Ugh, not the best situation to be in when you are currently unemployed.

Other that figuring out the car and the unpacking, I've been touring around quite a bit. I hit a natural food store in the area last week, and it was amazing! Like a veggie paradise! I can't get over how close everything is when you live downtown. I probably won't even need the car that much, unless we're buying house stuff or going for a big round of groceries. I also walked over to Kensington with the boy this weekend. Such a fun area with so many cute little boutique stores, needless to say - I can see myself doing a lot of shopping over there in the near future.

Last but not least, I got myself a gym membership. Its quite a bit more pricey than what I paid in London - and there is not nearly as many group classes - which is a bit of a piss off, but what can you do? I guess that's how they do it out here. It'll be good for me though, and give me a much needed distraction from job applications. I went for a 2 mile run on Saturday morning and it was ROUGH! That's what I get for barely exercising over the past month. I got in a hell of a workout today though - 30 minutes on the elliptical, 40 minutes of weights and abs, and 20 minutes on the bike - I was exhausted. I think I'm slowly getting my workout mojo back though. I'll keep you posted.

What workouts do you feel the best about afterwards?
