Well as some of you may or may not know - I have moved to Toronto. I am now a Torontonian.

It was a long and hard process to get here. The easy part was unloading my old house. It was sold in like 2 days. The hard part started with searching for a house in Toronto.

If you haven't had the pleasure of shopping for a home in Toronto you have no idea about the pain. Search search search. Shitbox after shitbox. "They want how much for that?"

Then you see something you like. "Ooooo, that's nice, and the price is good.... 'offers accepted on' monday - start the bidding war." And you lose it.

Finally we found something and almost lost it, but here we are.

Then comes the closing stress. Then packing - planning - moving - stress. Then closing the other house stress. Stress stress stress.

Then move day. 16 hours of packing + 14 hours of moving ... that adds up to more than 24 hours. Don't plan on sleeping.

But now I'm settled in - sort of. Unpacking! Painting. Arranging.

But I have internet. At least that's snappy.

All is well though. Closer to work. Closer to play. Close to transit.

Andyway - there are my disjointed thoughts about the whole experience.

I'm a Torontonian.
