Fractionals

So we're in North Vancouver now, in Joy's new apartment, and thanks to one precision raid on the Coquitlam Ikea there is even a bed, shower curtain, etc, etc here now (the couch gets delivered in a few days). I spent the ride back from Ikea with my head out the window like a puppy, listening to some DJ mix on the radio. We're pretty worn out, but happy to be here. The apartment is across the street from a park and if you look the other way you can see the ocean. The mountains are somewhere in the background. I keep forgetting that I'm not in Ontario (my default state, or rather province) let alone that I'm three hours behind nearly everyone I know. I just checked my bank balance for the first time since I left and discovered a paycheck and a GST rebate I hadn't expected (I thought the paycheck was next week). Today has been a ridiculously good day, from the almost Zen driving through the Rockies this morning to right now.
