Settling In

It's been just a bit over two weeks, but this little rental house of ours is starting to feel like home. Sure, there's still plenty of boxes that need unpacking, not all of our things have found a permanent home (re: clothing) and there are still minor repairs which need to be done, but the ol' house is downright cozy. With a countertop there, a few shelves here, and a couple nail holes filled in, the place'll be looking sweet.

The weather outside has been miserable this week, so we now know, for a fact, that the heating system works great. What we'll find out in time, I suppose, is how well the house is insulated. A few -40C mid-January weeks will reveal all.

Over the weekend I was able to pick up a new pair of glasses to replace the worn-out, scratched, and dog-chewed spectacles I was wearing before. My new Ray-Ban's are similar in style, but fit a bit smaller. It's great to now be able to look directly at a light source and not have scratched lenses refract that light in a multi-directed explosion. Check 'em out:
