It's Friday

Today's weather was a little bit better than yesterday. While the cooler weather in the morning was just perfect for me to wash Ethan's stroller, the heat in the afternoon dried it.

It really needed some washing. The long travel from Surabaya (Indonesia) to Vancouver (Canada) to Toronto (Canada) and then from Toronto back to Vancouver in early July, followed by going back to Toronto to pack up all our stuff and flew to Vancouver just 4 days ago. . . wow, just listing this traveling that we did within the last 2 months made me feel exhausted, imagine how I felt during those traveling times.

Meanwhile, Ethan was busy playing nearby. I filled the stroller snack tray with water and let him played with it. Grandma seemed to have a better idea. She took out a few little toys for him to 'wash' just like his mom washing the stroller. Surprisingly, this simple random things combined together amused him.

I even had a little extra time to tackle the unpacking task. 3 luggages are empty and ready to be stored and the rest will just have to wait until tomorrow.

And hopefully, in a month or two we'll find our own place. At that time, the packing task will begin again.

Sizzling-Hot Weather

We're back to Vancouver from Toronto 2 days ago and greeted by the hot weather.

Vancouver is reaching its highest temperature this week. As a matter of fact, it's official that yesterday it broke its old record. It was around 38°C. Yuck! No wind to feel and no rain in sight.

Today's weather is not much different. Little Ethan is sweating but is still full of energy. Lol. It looks like he just took a bath . . . a bath of sweat that is.

Good thing that the portable air-conditoner that we purchase a couple of weeks ago through on-line had arrived. My dear hubby installed and put it in our bedroom yesterday upon his return from work so that we could get a good sleep at last. We all know that we need a good sleep in order to function well during the day. After all I have unpacking those 6 plus luggages and laundry to do. Cardmaking and scrapbooking will just have to wait.

If you ask me which one I like better: cold weather or hot weather, I'd say cold weather. At least I could wear thick jacket and sleep under a cozy thick blanket.

This Vancouver hot weather actually reminds me about the hot weather post that I did when we were in Indonesia (read here).

I Don't Feel Like Doing It

*Sigh* it's time for packing up all our stuff again. We're leaving on Tuesday to Vancouver. It's not that I don't want to go, I just hate the part of packing and unpacking of it. And it's not the end since we're going to live at my parents' place temporarily until we find a place that we can call home sweet home.

We packed one luggage yesterday, and today we're going to do a couple more, I think, if we could find things that we're not using until the last day.We can't pack the TV just yet since we need that, or the printer since I'm using it for my scrapbook pages. I promised my hubby that I'll pack my papers, tools, etc on Sunday. And I really want to have them organized so that we don't need to open all the luggage while at my parents'.

Can foods, bottles of sauces and condiments are heavy to bring so we're trying to use them as much as we could.

Six checked baggage, three carried-on baggage, a purse (or bag) and a stroller may sound too many, but I wish I could bring more. But that's the maximum allowance we can bring with Air Canada.
