On Friday Dan and I went to visit a lovely apartment on Sherbrooke street just east of the Decarie a few blocks. It was absolutely gorgeous … hardwood floors inside (in great shape), two bright bedrooms, one of which is across from a stone Anglican street, a cute kitchen with windows that we might even be able to eat in if our table is small enough, AND wonderful laundry facilities. There is a boulangerie just below our apartment and lots of useful places nearby (pharmacy, grocery stores, etc) and we’re not too far from the park at Westmount Library. The picture above is actually our building! The bagel place is now the boulangerie. We got the ok yesterday that we are approved to sign the lease, so its official … we’re moving in July!

I got the image from UrbanPhoto, which has an amazing collection of very good photos.

Unfortunately the blog is closed right now and will re-open on February 28. Please leave a message and we’ll get back to you in March. Beeep.

Well, I have to say I’m a bit sad. Since we got Miette she has never been happy to let Keiko be the dominant mouse (even though Keiko is older and at least at the beginning was larger) and Keiko has been obstinant about not submitting to Miette. As soon as she grew to the same size as Keiko they started fighting. A month ago I noticed a raw red patch on Keiko’s head that looked like either a bite or a section of skin where the hair was pulled off. I separated the mice overnight and put some cream on the sore and it is mostly healed now. Well last week we caught them fighting and Keiko had another mark on her shoulder. I separated them during the night again and Miette seemed quite calm and afraid in the morning, so I put her back in the cage and watched them to make sure they were ok. I really hoped they could just work it out and be done with it. Well just now (its 12:51 AM - I can’t sleep) they started fighting again so this is finally it - I think I am going to have to separate them for good. This makes me sad because we only have 1 cage so Miette will have to live in a tupperware bowl until I decide what to do and now Keiko has no companion. Poor Keiko was so nice to her too, and I feel realy awful to see these big sores on her from their fights. I can only guess that Miette must have been a dominant one at the pet store and just won’t give it up.

Well I have managed to neglect my blog for over a week. Its been tremedously busy lately. Here are some of the hilights

We’re looking for an apartment - if you hear about anything for rent near the metro let me know!
This past Sunday Dan and I went to a pub to watch the superbowl and I won a DVD player! Unfortunately as I don’t have a TV I have very little use for it, so if you want one, email me! I will sell it for $70; the purchase price of about $70 US or 110 CAD.
My only comment regarding the election is: “At least its a minority government”
I’m going to TO this Sunday for two weeks!
I’ve learned some Perl.
I’m feeling much better now, so whatever it was that made me sick is gone.
Major procrastination on the trip log here … will get back to it in March.
That about wraps it up!
