One Year Hence
On Wednesday we received the the wonderful news that our rental application was approved. Since then, we've signed the lease for Nov 1st and I gave notice to our current landlord.
I'm very excited for the new beginning. We even took the dog for a walk to the new neighbourhood while there was a viewing in our apartment.
I'm elated thinking about an opportunity encapsulated in a year. Since the unit is not rent controlled, it's uncertain if we'd continue on in a month-to-month capacity, come Nov 2024. Thus:
One year to be get better at Spanish (in hopes to move there by 2025).
One year to escape my dead-end job. In search of fulfillment & more pay.
One year to redefine the things we need, and shed the junk we don't.
One year to explore new eats, drinks, and make new friends.
One year in a more intimate apartment, full of collaboration with my partner.
One year to regain the joy of cycling, since I no longer have to shoulder carry my bike down the stairs.
One year of tech projects, in my dedicated fiber demarc closet.
One year of mindfulness on an open terrace, watching the clouds go by.
One year of working out in a lovely private gym
One year of places to wander and let my brain process
One year hence, I shall review the new chapter. Looking forward to the journey.
