Today Noni and I became homeless save for a storage locker and a c/o address. We are temporarily residing in a Best Western hotel a few short blocks from the old condo so, at least, we're still in our same neighbourhood. The first thing that really hit home about this changed situation is the lack of keys. Just the car keys (and, of course, the locker key) are still there in my pocket but the car keys will be going soon. I might have to buy a small lock for one of our suitcases just so the locker key doesn't get lonely. Perhaps you've never experienced the angst of a single key on a ring. It's a heartless thing to subject a wee piece of brass to and I, for one, cannot do it.
Upon bringing our bags up to the hotel room we quickly determined that we still have too much stuff with us. The local thrift shops will soon be awash with our castoffs. Travelling light is a heavy task. Stay tuned.
