again, still here.

Hi readers!

I have still been running with some frequency, but I have had little time to post since my only Internet time outside of work has been spent posting listings/ads for my condo now that I dropped my agent, and doing freelance works. I got to translate not one, but two good friends' company websites and it's so much nicer than corporate junk I usually work on (though I do have a 'thing' for occupational health and safety related corporate documents, but don't ask me why).

I will soon be revising a master's level law thesis, now THAT will be less fun :)

So I am completely focused on selling my place before July1, the arbitrary day on which all people in QC moves in hoardes, out of their apartments and into others. That is THE hot date in the real estate industry, so they say. Still after 6 years of living here I find two things about the QC rental housing system absurd: that most people take their fridge/stove with them AND that everyone would rather move on the same day, jacking up the prices of everything and minimizing availability (trucks, boxes, movers). In any case, it's a race against time for me...

a successful week

Not much time to scribble, but just wanted to say that I ran five times over the past week, for a total of roughly 25 km. I think I'll be fine for my June 1 charity run, but I'm trying to make a habit of 5 km so I can start advancing to my former 10 km runs. For now I'm just happy to be getting out there, getting sunshine and getting back in shape.

Hairy got a new job!! It's a great move forward for him and I'm also happy about the better schedule. Eeee.

My Portuguese classes ended this week, so I will have to push myself to practice until next October. Hopefully I will win the trip to the Azores that I have entered to win through the school.

Have a great day!
