In my first post I was moving from my beloved adopted home in Toronto to my hometown to care for my mother. I wasn't entirely sure how this would work, how long, would I stay here indefinitely, would we all leave again, would we move her to Toronto (given we prefer older areas of the city it proved impossible to find, and then afford, an appropriate house that could work for my mother).
For the past three months here I've not given up my Toronto number. I realize it's ludicrous, anyone outside (and maybe inside) Toronto will roll their eyes, but, I was reluctant to give up my number because it would denote a break from my city and I didn't want to give up my 416! You can't get those anymore! Crazy as it is I've simply been paying higher, much, phone bills......just in case.....
As of this morning I'm no longer a 416, I'm a 519
It's a 4-6 week stop gap.
Soon there will be a new adopted town, it'll be exciting to own and set up my home again, get my life out of storage!, embrace a new community, see the lift (hopefully) a new home gives my mother.
And there'll be a new area code :)
It is trivial given all the change that's come about since we decided to embark on this adventure last summer; I guess I secretly held to my 416 'cause it was one of the last vestiges of my former life.
On to more important things.....
