We made it to Ottawa. We arrived on Ottawa on July 20 and we’ve been super busy with unpacking and painting and stuff at our new house. Henry was a little mixed up and nervous after all the travelling but seems to have bounced back. It’s a long trip for a human let alone a cat.
Our new house, well new old home, looks a lot better now that some cosemetic work has been done. We’ve gotten rid of some of the key 60′s/70′s decor. The orange flower wall paper in the bathroon is gone, the rose coloured carpet thrown out, hardwood floors (originial to the house but covered by carpet) refinished, the Robin’s Egg blue walls have been painted, and some of the fixtures updated. Thankfully we have new windows, new roof, new furnace and appliances so some of the more expensive stuff we’ve don’t have to deal with. I don’t have any pictures yet and even if I did, I haven’t found the cable I need to transfer them to the computer. Still unpacking and sorting through stuff.
Mika is slated to go back to work tomorrow after 3 weeks of holidays but she still doesn’t know what job she will be working at headquarters. In my experience this is normal operating procedures for DFAIT; everything at the last minute. I guess if they haven’t figured it out when she gets there she could just take some more holidays. She has enough leave time stored up. This 3 week holiday is the most holidays she has ever taken in a year in the past 4 years.
I will get pictures up soon so you can see the changes to the house. Our next adventure in Ottawa has begun.
