The adjustment continues....

For the past week I've been trying on clothes and am estactic at how well everything fits. I usually hate having to try on clothes but this was different because all the clothes were already mine. Most of the clothes I forgot that I even owned. It was like a free shopping spree, highly recommended to everyone.

So I've drove to Waterloo again yesterday and decided to go visit my old working ground, GoodLife Fitness club. The whole drive there I couldn't not remember where to get off but as I got closer, my long term memory chip kicked in. I've been amazed at how I much I've forgotten and if you asked me where something is, I couldn't tell but if I were to physically go there I probably could...Weird eh!!! It's been quite the adventure finding my way around again. It's like depending on a very rusty GPS that doesn't tell you where to go until the very last minute. There were so many occasions where I would get to an intersection and had to go the wrong direction because I had not realized which way to go until I got there and was forced to go the opposite way because I was in the wrong lane. It's like nothing I've ever experienced...Kinda cool messing with my mind this way...

I've also found myself looking around, half expecting to bump into my friends from Australia. I'll see something interesting and immediately think of someone in Australia that would like it or assume that that person would hang out there. It's almost feels like having to minds in one. One that remembers Toronto and the other one that is still in Australia and they are constantly battling to tell me where to go and what to do.

i relate EXTREMELY to your these two posts...
i'm still finding clothes that i forgot about, or little gadgets or books or something that'd i'd used for years and years- but forgot about when i moved away! it's really fun!

you may also be interested to know that the two worlds continue to exist- even though i've been "back" for a year and a half!

Aww man, if your GPS is rusty I'm gonna be in trouble when I get home. Planning to head to Freo tmrw, weird how you're not here cuz I keep wanting to ask if you want to go.
