Our new place is starting to look put together now. Tom got sick of all the boxes lying around so he started hanging up our pictures and emptying the miscellaneous crap we had.

Our walls and shelves are organized chaos now which I’m sure is overwhelming to a lot of people but works well for us.

The other apartment still needs a lot of work and it’s hard since everything is still closed.

We can’t just run down to the hardware store to pick something up. We also can’t just drive down to any of our donation centres to drop off the piles of stuff we have sitting up there ready to donate.

It’s frustrating. I’m not really sure what we are going to do with the stuff.

Our premier admitted that they made a mistake shutting things down so many times, but here we are still locked down.

It’s exhausting.

I did something this week. I’ll consider it my early birthday present to myself. I visit the local secondhand/consignment online designer retailers pretty much every day to see what new stock they have.

Everything comes and goes so quickly that you have to be on the ball.

I fell off the ball a while back and missed when they had an almost brand new pair of Prada loafers in my size and was disappointed.

I am going to start by giving you a heads up that the Sephora sale started today for Rouge level members (code OMGSPRING) both VIB and Insiders levels start 04/13 and 04/15. I was dumb and didn’t pay attention to that and actually made a Sephora order yesterday (because I ran out of foundation), so I missed the deal. Whoops.

I hate it when I do that. I did that on the weekend when I ordered this dress from H&M. I woke up the next morning to a 20% off code.

So our new lockdown starts tonight at midnight I believe, which is right smack dab in the middle of a long weekend. They thought that one out really well. Who wants to bet that people crammed in as much visiting as they could today?

While not a heck of a lot will change for the region I live in because we have been in a constant level of lockdown since the end of November. This new one is province-wide which “should” help somewhat…maybe.

I’m not feeling optimistic though based on the last year.

Okay, so I am now officially down to 1430 links that still need to be fixed. If you don’t know what the hell I am talking about you can see yesterday’s post which I actually managed to finish this week.

Are we fully moved yet? Nope. We need to tackle that shit 100% next week. Then we can focus on cleaning and cosmetic repairs.

As some of you noticed, I missed my regular midweek post. I have been in the process of moving this week and did not have any free time to sit down and put something together.

I hope to get back to it by this next week.

We are about 90% moved in now. The first day we got all the important things that allowed us to basically live and sleep here from that point onwards.
