Extremely Scree: We're Moving

Rantings From Planet Xenotropos
About three weeks ago my SO Chall was laid off from work, and with that went our primary source of income. We were in a pretty good spot however so we weren't homeless or anything but, well, it's a worry.
The good news is that Chall found a good job again (with many thanks to our amazing friends who put in the good word for him) and he starts in a week or so.
The bad news is that it means moving to Kanata, which is part of Ottawa, and away from my hometown of Peterborough.
It's not all bad news. Kanata/Ottawa I hear is a great place. It's hardly like we're moving to the moon. It's hard to say goodbye though. I've gotten pretty comfortable here in Peterpatch. It means finding new bus routes, a new print shop (I think I've found a place that will do everything I need already), new art stores, new everything.
Chall will be going on ahead to start work and look for an apartment for us. I'll be here to pack up and sort out things for the move. We can do this. We (supposedly) are adults and this is not an insurmountable challenge.
And our cats are coming with us. That is not negotiable. I will still attend FE and WTF conventions. I will probably start doing the Ottawa Comiccon. We can still come to Peterpatch to do Phantasm in September if we can bunk with a friend for the weekend.
It means Chall and I will be apart from each other for one or even two months, which will suck le Grande Banan, but he can come home some weekends and there's always the faithful computer. We will live through this too.
So... anyone out there living in Kanata/Ottawa? Sing out, 'cause eventually I'm gonna be your new neighbour. Great Ghu help us all.

Aside from that, I'm glad Chall's gotten a new job, and glad to hear not all hope is lost. *hug*
Check out http://www.furaffinity.net/user/ottawafurs , there's quite a number of furries that way! Off the top of my head I recall Ottawa being home to Windrunner and QuyetPawz, great folks to be around!
I hope that the move is free from stress and that things go smoothly for you and that you find much to love in your new neighborhood and neighbors!
