T minus 30 and counting . . .

In 30 days time, I will no longer be owner and resident of my condo.

It's a weird feeling.

I've only had my condo 4 years, it's true. But, it was my first real estate purchase and the first time something big was mine. Not my parents' or family's, or something I shared with someone else. It was all mine. Since it was a new construction, I made the decisions on counter tops, flooring, wall colour, cupboards and the extra deep tub (which I barely used in end).

In less than 40 days, I will no longer be a resident of Ottawa.

That's weird too.

I came to this city for a 5 month contract and ended up staying almost 10 years. The largest part of my time here has been great. There have been a few less than stellar moments, but when I leave I will leave with great fondness for the city and its residents. Okay, most of its residents.
