Today is our one week anniversary of living in Nunavut. every day I notice something more beautiful. And some days i really do feel like I'm living on the moon.
The landscape here is like nothing I have ever seen and is most likely only ever seen in the north. It is breath taking. One of my fears about moving here was not being accepted by the community. saying that we are anything but would be an understatement. Never in my life have I ever met so many friendly people in one place. And always so happy. So happy all the time. I will leave my thought on the reasons for constant happiness unsaid for now. But having the munchies seems to be an issue for many.
Little Tia took a few days to settle but in but she seems to be back to normal now. Since she isn't built for the weather we do have to put boots and a coat on her if we want her to poop or to take her for a walk. It is starting to warm up now so hopefully we won't have to do the dressing her thing much longer.
Speaking of the weather, it really isn't as bad as I thought it would be. It can be ikki (cold) but because it is so dry it just doesn't feel the same. Yes sometimes it takes your breath away and makes icicles on your eye lashes, but it truly is amazing.
One thing I never read about before moving here was really just how dry it is inside. Every time you move you are getting electrocuted. The poor dog, who has now weaseled her way into sleeping in the bed, gets zapped constantly. Take off your coat, zap. Touch the fridge, zap. Touch lips, zap. I have added a humidifier to the growing list of 'things to buy from Amazon.ca'.
Drew is taking to work like a fish to water. He even came into work on his day. My job is not like any 'office' job I've ever had. It's fairly slow right now. But tax season is coming and the store is being renovated so it will become increasingly busier. For right now I'm just learning the ropes but eventually I will actually be the admin supervisor, floating around the store and helping where I am needed.
I will leave you with some more pictures.
