Well, reality has set in. I now live in Port Alice. Although, I still occasionally catch myself thinking that I need to go back to Surrey soon. It is a strange feeling when this happens.
I guess that the reason this reality has finally settled in has been because of a couple of things. First has been the rain. For the last week and a half, I have been trying to garden. I make plans to go outside in a morning or afternoon, and it will be sunny, then when I want to go out and garden… it’s raining. 5 Minutes later (literally) it will be sunny again.
Second, once again gardening related, I went to Campbell river and bought a Gas WeedEater. When I finally had the weather to try it, I filled it with Gas (yes it was mixed), and then started it. It ran for about 30 Seconds and then stopped. The motor ceased, but in order to take it back I have to drive 3 hours. Oh well. That’s life.
Despite the downsides to this new reality, I am really enjoying myself. And I love the pace of the town, and haven’t had a problem finding things to do.

So, “you did not have a home,” eh? Sounds familiar to another wandering prophet you might have read about.
