Well Calgary, you've outdone yourself. I am honestly in awe and amazement at how many people you've managed to anger this week. Snow in September? And a lot of it. I was really just starting to get excited about fall, and now winter is already here. It will soon pass and we'll get the lovely (yet short lived) fall that we always do, but still, I am really bitter about this. On top of the hideous weather itself, the trees cannot take it and branches are breaking and taking power lines down with them. We've spent a couple evenings in the pitch black this week. Yesterday the power went out first thing in the morning and I had no car. I called my mother in law to come rescue us and by the time we got back to her place the power was out there too. So we made our way down to the Burt household - they live in Copperfield (a newer community) and so they have no trees and no power lines to be knocked down. They were fine all day. By the time we left and got home both our homes had power restored. We made it out pretty lucky from that one.
The other night I was having a really hard time with it. I've already been dreading winter and snow and all that comes with it. I have not been looking forward to having to bundle Cecelia up each time I try to leave the house. I have been resenting this place I live in. Well, can you blame me?
On top of that, we met with a mortgage broker this week and that only added fuel to my firey anger and rage. We got preapproved for a good number. A number that, in most places in this country, would suit quite nicely and make up a nice little home. Here though, it made things a little stressful. I felt a little exhausted and disappointed at the end of our application. Buying a home in Calgary is a tough thing to do.
I know this is the place that we are supposed to be, and there are so many things that I love about this city. Basically the only two things that I dislike about this city just hit really hard this week and I'm feeling a little trapped and resentful.
