My soon-to-be home

Things could not be better with a roomie on the job! Here is a shot of my soon-to-be home town, taken by Kelly (who is already there and manning the home fires). She has been out exploring and took this photo of Sanikiluaq. I'm not sure which direction north lies, but Hudson Bay is all around us!

Kelly has been hard at work, making our house a home. Here's the place that she has affectionately dubbed "825 Cat Scratch Alley". Tigger will have a roommate as well, because Kelly brought her orange tabby, Nermal. Ergo the name.

This is Unit 825, the future home of the gleesome threesome of Kathy, Kelly, and Terri.

It was not in the best of condition, but Kelly has been hard at work cleaning, scouring, and cajoling John (the Housing manager) into letting her pick out the best of the furniture. Also making sure that I had a double bed, and not the single that was delivered...many MANY thanks! MWAH!!!

Looks okay so far.....

 ...but upon Kelly's closer inspection....

....yecch!!!!

She promises that a lot of elbow grease and cleaning products have rendered the house habitable. Again, she's an angel and I will have to make sticky buns for her when my boxes arrive.

This time next week, I will be loading multitudes of baggage and one very large cat and carrier into a taxi and heading for Pearson Airport to fly leg one of the trip into Montreal. My carry-on will include cat tranquilizers, cat food, cat dinner dishes, cat litter, baggies for cat litter leftovers disposal...

I see a trend here, LOL!

 TTFN!
