What a day it has been... it has been full of emotions and me on the verge of a meltdown, full of disappointment. I finally found my car after a lengthy walk and paying the compound fee. I then packed everything up and moved to a new location as i had no place for my car to be without it being towed on a continuous basis. I could not handle this emotional toil so close to the opening ceremonies etc.. I also felt that my roommate/landlady had too much stress on her plate with Olympic responsibilities and that my arrival did not help her situation and her stress level at the apartment. I took a risk and found a new place that is $100.00 a week in the Clark and Prior street area just south of east hastings. I arrived and the key didn't work for the door. I left and went to work preparing mentally for the full dress rehearsal with 35000 spectators in the stands. It took me a little while to focus in and to forget my daily challenges with accommodation etc. This day at work went very very well and was very exciting for all of the spectators. It was emotional hearing all of the crowd roaring with excitement as the Canadian (stand in) team entered the building for the athletes march...very exciting indeed. All went well with the spots and in general the show I felt. We all felt great after the show. My stress and worries returned as I made my way to the new location and hoped that my car and contents were safe and sound... all was good and fine! Thank you God. I am now settled in the new place... it is an OLD house for sure and I am huddled on a box in a room with my housecoat around me to keep warm... I have internet and TV and this is great! I think the next few weeks will be challenges again for me... it will be so good to be at home again!
