Our furniture has arrived!

*English to follow...*

Allo et bonne fête des mères! Nous ne sommes pas assez avancés pour vous montrez des photos de l'apartment mais en voici quelques-unes de notre journée. On est fatigué et on s'en va se coucher!

Our furniture was picked up in Ottawa on April 27. When we inquired early last week about the estimated time of arrival, we were told May 23rd. The shock! To our surprise, we got a call from the driver Thursday afternoon to let us know that he will be here Saturday at 8am (this morning). Yippee! Except that we needed a parking permit for the truck which required a 3-day notice. Oops. We asked what our alternatives were because obviously we couldn't give a 3-day notice. The police told us to double park and pay the fine. Hehe... We didn't get a fine and saved ourselves $125!

Living without furniture was an interesting experience. Plastic "China" and cutlery, air mattress, camping chair... It was like camping but indoor. I realized that I really don't need any of that stuff to be happy (except for my computer!). It does make life more comfortable, but it doesn't contribute much to my overall happiness.
