Where Is Home? in Help Me Please

If you think about all the times you have moved from one place to another for whatever reason, but mostly so you can be closer to work do you call that home? or is it where your parents lived? or do you prefer to live closer to your children?
And how do you get your roots where you live?
I have two places i call home. the place I was born and the place where I did most of my growing up. I am not really sure if I really call where I am living now home but it’s a place where I can hang up my coat and hat. And also where rent is paid so I think this is also considered my home. This is the third place where I have lived here the most years. The first place was 14 years the second place was 12 years and the third place is going on eight years and the rest of the places were for about two years but the most comfortable place is where I am now. I find it very quiet and not much noise except for the trains that come from two sides and the fire crackers about twice a year or so. And not many people know where I actually live so that is a good thing. I just hope the police never want to find me because they will have no idea of how to find me unless someone tells them.
So far I have lived here going on 8 years or 9 years and the rent has not gone up so this place is still affordable. But then rent can only go up something like 2% a year until I move out then the landlords can raise the rent to whatever they want.
The reason rent can only go up 2% is because the landlords use to make the rent so high that people had to move out because they couldn’t afford to live where they were and now it’s the law where it can only be raised 2%. And if the landlord wants to do major repairs they have to give about 3 moths notice and they are not allowed to make the rent 4 times what it was.
Housing is getting a bit better here in B.C. but there are still some areas that is just way too expensive even for the rich. I think the reason is because the property is more expensive and the taxes that are paid has to reflect the rent.
But here is more then one answer s to why B.C. is one of the most expensive places to live.

Onto something else....

So rent is due today and then it’s April 1st and April fools day but only till noon so get those pranks in early. Come to think of it it’s already a 1/3 of the year has gone. just think in another two months it will be summer and then fall then Winter..my how the years seems to just fly by. But then maybe this is a good thing because then we forget all the complaining we did because of the weather. But whatever the weather is we need to be thankful that we have something we can call home and are comfortable.

Onto something else…

This weekend my son is not coming because I am thinking we have some errands to run and hubby has an eye doctors appointment on Monday and mine is on Tuesday. So he will come next week and the week after for Easter and then it will go to every two weeks.
Not to long ago i went to look for my distant glasses and for the life of me I can’t remember where I put them because I only use them when I am driving or want to see something far away like a street sign or a name of a street. So I will need to get another pair plus stronger reading glasses so I can see the small print that doesn’t work with the ones I have now. The one thing I will never get is the BI Focal ones with the line across the bottom half of the glasses because that just confuses my poor little brain. But I know people who have them and say that my perception of them is all wrong and that they are a lot easier to use because you don’t have to keep switching glasses. But then I am abbey normal.

Well dinner tonight is going to be cheeses burgers and frozen French fries and maybe corn. not sure if we will be having any hamburger buns but cheese defiantly has to be on the burgers.
last nights dinner was good also.. BBQ shake and bake and brown rice and green beans.

Today I will be going for a walk and I am thinking I should probably walk back home but it’s will be up hill and I am not sure if I want to do that. Although it looks flat but it isn’t and the incline seems to be steep. So maybe I will take the bus and walk down as it’s not so steep.
But I am finding the more weight I lose the easier it is to walk up hills and it doesn’t seem so bad. but some ways are easier going up then others. And it’s suppose to be not raining so that will be a good thing.

Onto something else....

I need to stop here....
Do have a great day…
Be Kind, Be Calm, Be Safe and Behave.
