Happy long Canada Day weekend, everyone! It’s been a stinking hot week here in Toronto, and despite promises of thunderstorms cooling the air last night we’re still suffering from lack of air conditioning. But maybe not for too much longer! My place went on the market last week and we’re expecting offers this coming Wednesday. Once a price and closing date are settled we’re free to move back in for the rest of the summer and enjoy the air conditioning.<\/p>\n
We’ve been moving forward on the other front of the “where to live” project this week as well. After weeding through long lists of houses on the market, we did a road trip with our real estate agent today and saw about a dozen places. There were many which were ok, and a couple we liked a lot and will want to see again. We’ll probably do a couple more weekends of touring around to make sure we’ve seen enough to make an informed decision, and then start putting in offers. So far, the best we’ve seen is a lovely house right by High Park subway.<\/p>\n
In the recent purchase department, I picked up a sweet new desktop for home from a Toronto company named “Uber Gear”. It’s really, really fast. Gaming nirvana!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
