Happy Canada Day

Here I am at the top of my mom’s house, and there is wireless internet. We don’t know how or for how long, but we’ll enjoy it while it lasts. And there are just way too many things to do, boxes to sort and people to see for me to know which way to turn, so I think we’ll lay low for a few days. The flight yesterday was alright, and it was good to be home but strange. I’ve been away for three years, and it’s as though I’ve moved to an entirely new place and I’m worried I won’t like it. I’ve just hyped it up a bit and don’t want Stuart to be disappointed. We spent a glorious while opening wedding presents yesterday. I am going to have such lovely things in my kitchen. My Hello Kitty in a kimono made it here in one piece, losing just a ribbon from her garb and I will glue it back on. “We Need to Talk About Kevin” is brilliant but controversial, provocative. I look forward to formulating my opinion on it. I look forward to reading The Globe tomorrow. And to being less scattered. Here’s to Canada then! Happy Day.
