New Beginnings...

Much seems to have changed in the past few weeks.
* New house. (Very nice townhouse.)
* New city. (Beautiful green city.)
* New province.
* No friends nearby. (Kind of isolated.)
* New school. (And new graduate program there-in. Hopefully new friends might be found here.)
* New kitten. (As a playmate for the older cat and as my personal cuddler until the friends start to be made. Not that I'll be doing much cuddling with the friends--I'll keep that up with my husband and kitties--the kitten helps to fill the social hole in the gap between lacking and making friends.)
* Ran ten minutes today. (I've been able to walk for several hours, but had yet to make the transition to running. The first attempt, 10 minutes of running segmented into about a 50 minute walk, was deemed successful.)
* Appointment to get tenant insurance tomorrow.
* Lower on $$$ than we've been for a while. I suspect we'll have to dip into our savings (which we have plenty of to carry us through for a few weeks) until funding from the university comes through late September.
* Starting to work on research/MA thesis and attempting to develop a half-decent work ethic. (Who am I kidding? I've pretty much always had a fairly decent work ethic.)
* Taking lots of naps in an effort to rest up for the start of the semester. (And because I'm lazy and find it very sleep-inducing to have a furry body purring on me while I read.)

That's pretty much how life goes at the moment. I'm enjoying it.
