Wunderspace

It's a time of excitement and nerve-wrackage, and of general up-in-the-airness here on the Pickle Me This homefront.

First, having finished my first novel and now beginning the process of finding it a road to publication, I've started work on my second book. It's been buzzing about in my head for a long while now and it's exciting to finally get writing. How brilliant then, to have the possibilities still be infinite.

Second, and most nerve-wracking: the homefront is being relocated! After two and a half years here, we've outgrown our gorgeous apartment and are ready for a change. And though we've been thinking about buying for a while now, we're opting instead to find another rental, save for another few years, thus enabling us to continue eating expensive cheese and going on vacations. Also so that when things break we will continue not to have to fix them. I further like the idea of renting because it still leaves open the possibility of me taking up cafe-sitting full-time, which would just not be possible with a mortgage.

So we're now on the hunt for a perfect two bedroom apartment in downtown Toronto, aboveground with a deck. And wherever this wunderspace happens to be, come April 1st we are going to live there.
