Sometimes I miss the apartment

Last night Mother Nature didn't bring much snow to Calgary, but there certainly was rain and wind. Lots of strong wind. We suspect that a shingle was blown off of the roof. I woke up around four in the morning, and couldn't fall back asleep because I kept imagining that the big fir tree that is nearly leaning on the neighbour's electricity line was going to topple over and burst into flames, or that one of the the many birdhouses on our property would fly off of their respective trees and crash into any one of our windows! It was a traumatic early morning for me!

I honestly did sleep more peacefully in the apartment. Sure, the construction was so poor that I could hear the phone ring in the suite next door, but I worried less about security. There were no bushes to scrape against the wall outside my bedroom, nor did I fear small loose objects from outside getting enough air to crash through our patio doors on the second storey! I'm not sure that there's anything else that I miss, though ... it's fabulous to have a garage!

I totally understand. There are things I miss from living at our old apartment. One of the many are walk in closets. Granted the house we live in now has lots of closets, none of them are walk in. I am glad you guys are safe. The weather sounds just as bad as its been here in Illinois.

I had a night-shift-working, high-heel wearing, crazy stomping nurse living above me who had hardwood installed in her apartment without any sound dampening in between. Ask me if I sleep better! :) We've had the same bad wind around here...just think, it's bringing the lovely weather over.
