So. Big news around these parts is that we're moving to Ottawa. We're also planning/trying to buy a home when we go rather than renting. A move, plus buying our first home, plus planning a wedding has me going a little bat-shit. But that's okay. I'm a high-functioning anxiety-aholic. Ummmhummm.
In other news....I saw my neighbour kicking a squirrel the other day in his backyard. From my office view I can see right into their backyard. From what I saw the squirrel was nibbling away on some plants my neighbour has in the backyard and my neighbour (a bald, squinty-eyed man who I thought was very friendly) and baldy ran at the squirrel (which looked quite young) and actually hoofed it into the air and then the squirrel was almost trapped in the vines or something and baldy kept kicking at it. I ducked down so he wouldn't see me (baldy) but I think he might have. The squirrel got away, but it was limping along the fence.
It was......very disturbing. I can't bring myself to have a conversation with the man now when I see him outside, whereas before the conversation was quite congenial. Now... the whole thing is seriously creepy......
In other news....we went and saw my grandparents on Saturday. It was so warm, I rocked my sandals.
Grandma: (looking at my bare feet) You have long toes!
Me: I know. (sort of curling them up, trying to cover them from conversation)
Grandma: (still inspecting) Oh and you've got a club toe. Your big toe is shaped like a club.
Me: It is?
Grandma: Yep. I have it too. (takes off her shoes and socks and shows me her FEET which are so........old and pointed and gnarly). See?
Me: I see.....(trying not to look too much)
Grandma: Yep. You'll end up with feet like mine.
Me: Oh....
After such unpleasantness, here is a nice song....
