What's in Store For the Future

My goodness y'all, it seems like right when you think things can't get any crazier, they make a point of proving you wrong. This whole coronavirus situation just keeps getting more wild by the minute, the United States is in complete and utter turmoil as protests and the virus run rampant, Hong Kong is fighting for its democracy, Brazil is a complete disaster because of its leader etc., things are so unstable on our planet right now. It makes waking up every morning a challenge because you really don't know what kind of conundrum our planet is going to be up against next.

All of this turmoil also makes  it incredibly hard to make plans for my future because there is so much uncertainty right now. As you guys know, my original plan was to participate in the working holiday in New Zealand which would have seen me spending a year there, working and travelling, creating tons of new amazing memories. However, our borders are all still closed and my window of opportunity to participate in the program is slim as once I turn 35 in February I become ineligible. This uncertainty has pretty much nixed this opportunity for me.

I've been looking at apartments also, trying to perhaps move out for September or October but my goodness, my wants do not correlate with my budget, let me tell you. I saw the most exquisite apartment and immediately saw myself in it. Gorgeous granite counter tops, subway tile back splash, gorgeous views of the river etc. and then the price at a whopping 1595 a month pretty much squashed my dreams. It's been pretty eye opening trying to shop around for a place. I'm either conceding to having to live in a carpeted place or living in someone's basement apartment with slits for windows. It's devastating.

I'm also planning to move out east in 2022. I am thinking I'd love the opportunity to live in Prince Edward Island or Newfoundland for a couple of years. Cooler summers, more picturesque surroundings, quieter and more peaceful existence, it all sounds like a win to me. I just have to survive another year and a half in my city which if you've never lived in Windsor, you cannot comprehend the difficulty of this task. 

What a whirlwind this life is. Am I going to get coronavirus, west nile, malaria perhaps? Am I going to stay in Canada, move to New Zealand, or stay put here in Windsor? Ugh, so many uncertainties but I guess that's just how things are. Always preparing for the future but having like, 50 backup plans if any of those plans fall through lol never stop planning for the future I guess.

HAPPY VEG
