I am now a homeowner. I picked up my keys on January 28th, and stepped into my new dwelling. Unfortunately, the dwelling isn't quite up to par yet. I had imagined things that will take a little longer to come to fruition, but I've waited this long already.
I have now skied Whistler. After a year of planning and organizing, I left for Vancouver on Feb 5th and hit the town on my own for a day before my friends joined me the day after. Then it was up to Whistler for five days of winterness, falling and hurting myself on the first day (as previously feared), but still hitting the mountains for four straight days before collapsing in a heap on the bus back down to Van City. There were some unexpected moments, like meeting all kinds of relatives (my own as well as other people's), or spending a day with six cats (not all at once), or having karma treat me unkindly (I returned an extra $5 I received in change only to find out later that I got a counterfeit $10 as part of that change).
If I thought being at the peak of Whistler Mountain was surreal, coming home was even more so. I'm not entirely looking forward to going to work tomorrow.
"When you say it's gonna happen 'now', well when exactly do you mean? See, I've already waited too long, and all my hope is gone"
