Acheivement Unlocked: New City!

Finally arrived!
Today will be the first full day of a new chapter in my life! I have arrived in Edmonton, and have already been to the land of the swedes to start the long and arduous process of moving in. And by that I mean today I have to go over to the house and actually introduce myself to the people who live there. Which shall be an adventure! Also an adventure is how early Rachel has to get up in the morning! A 6:30 alarm isn't the friendliest thing ever, and especially when your body is still an hour behind. That will change, as it's only a one-hour difference for my body to adjust. It's much colder in Edmonton than in Vancouver, and I am looking forward to when the first snows arrive, which should be in about 3 weeks. It's really nice to be back, to see everybody, and to finally be on my own once again. This time it looks like everything will work out, as I have a job already set up for me and as of October, I will have a wicked benefits package. Yay dental coverage!
It's hard for me to keep on topic, as there are a billion things running through my head. Most prominently is "Get on your freaking to-do list, damnit!" and oh, how I wish I could. The bank doesn't open until around about 9, and I don't think it would be a very good impression to show up at the house at 8:30 unannounced to introduce myself. I'll give them a call just after 9, I think. After I go to the bank and see about ordering myself some cheques. Ahhhh! Responsibility! Well, it was bound to happen at some point. So, today. Bank, House, Lunch with Rae, new Phone Number, Work and then IKEA. Followed (hopefully!) with some sort of celebration, perhaps of the monopoly variety, perhaps of the alcoholic beverage variety. We shall see.

P.S. Must remember to ask if the house is pet-friendly. Shouldn't get my hopes up though!
