Great News!

I’ve found a place – I have been offered a lovely 2-bedroom here in Kirkwall. I went to view it and meet the owner this morning, and we’re good to go!

I hadn’t realized just how stressed I have been by this state of limbo – I’ve been trying to tell myself that if I found nothing, I had other options to explore but really, deep down, I did NOT want to leave Kirkwall. That stress became evident when I got home after visiting the cottage – the sense of relief I have felt; I mean, I’m dancing around the house, and I keep cuddling the dog for no reason (well, who needs a reason?).

To celebrate I’m having a big bowl of Ichiban Ramen noodles (thank you, LL) and a Kinrara martini. A martini? For lunch? Yes, I know a midday martini will lead to a mid-afternoon nap, but I don’t care.

The adventure continues!
