It's been a busy week, but most beneficial. I wasn't sure if I would be able to vote because I couldn't get out of the drive due to the mountains of snow which has not been cleared by the city. - bad city. However, nature wanted me to vote, so it rained and rained and warmed up just so I could get out, which meant I could vote. I belong to St Paul's riding and this year the Liberals won first spot which they losed to the NDP last time. Conservatives came last. But Rob won overall with a majority and so I may just get free go train service as a Vet. Time will tell. I have been thinking a lot about Niagara Falls and have selected two spots of interest. One is a condo in Chippawa. Now Chippawa is part of the City of Niagara Falls. With this particular place there are stairs galore from the ground to the second, but I was told I could put in a chair lift. The only reason I would consider it is because the location is cute. I can just walk across the bridge for my coffee and in the summer I can drink it sitting at the picnic tables overlooking the river. I can watch Niagara's Falls fireworks from my small balcony (it looks small). There is a parkette across from my condo with a gazebo where there is music during the summer. Looking out of a window I can see the clock of the closed Town Hall. No it is not Rockwell, it is Chippawa where James Cameron (Titanic) hails from. Very cute. Now during late March I will have about three free hours in Niagara FAlls where I can look at houses so if it is still on the Market I may just put in an offer, depending on those stairs. Can I grow old in there? Don't know. But there is a shop next door that sells flowers, a grocery store (which doesn't seem to have anything vegetarian) a hair salon, a pet grooming service, a veterinarian and more. Eventually, I would like a doggie. I would be able to cross the bridge and walk along the river to the Falls. But that is about four kilometers away. I love water. So, the house looks like a recent development, is also cute with a basement apartment and main floor space for me. It has a gazebo in the backyard and enough parking for two. I would need a car for anything and everything. That does not appeal to me. However, I know people want to visit me and it is better since I hail from Toronto which has a lot of people. So, lots to think about. If you are thinking about buying a house, please go see it first. Sometimes pictures are so deceiving. A house can look big and surprise, it's not (remember my first trip?). An offer was placed on that house I liked near the river. I don't know yet what the offer is and if it was accepted so I am curious of course. Oh that small town also has a cute white library nearby. As you can see, I like cute. It also has a Catholic Church - nice. So, I'm good. Let's wait and see what happens. In March I plan to socialize a lot due to my being snowed in so much. Please have a wonderful weekend. Ensure you balance your life. We need people and we need a safe place. Find a space for yourself, where you can be yourself. Surround your self with caring people who accept you as you are. There are many people in the States now losing their jobs. People can identify themselves with their work and when that is lost, there may be a sense of loss of identity of self. This may be a good time to ask the question, "Who am I?" The way this is being done right now in the State may cause moral injury. I wrote of it before along with PTSD, so I won't repeat myself. If you are new here, you can search at the top and it should appear for you. Find relaxation in music, art, dance, etc.....Anyhow, have a wonderful weekend. What do you think?
