It was a tough decision, but it had to be made. Time is running out.
I currently live on our sailboat, some 165 km (103 miles) from my mom's apartment in Toronto. Sadly, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 bone/lung cancer and so I stay with her two or three nights a week. Her strong Irish genes are on full display. But here's the thing: our sailboat has to be pulled out of the water by October 31 - hence the 'time is running out.' We sold and moved out of our home months ago, but, due to my caregiving schedule, we haven't made time to find a 'land' home.
What to do?
We began looking at short-term rentals in the city. There's not much in the 'short-term.' And, we need to have it furnished as all our belongings are stored in metal Sea Containers. That narrows the rental field down even more. So we began our journey into furnished, short term rentals. And did we ever get a shock. You hear in the news about the exorbitant cost of renting in Ontario. Well, let me tell you, it's true.
But, we don't really have a choice. Time really is running out for living on our sailboat. Winter is a-coming. So, choosing a condo in the city also makes sense because my partner works there. His 2-3 hour commute (each way) will be eliminated.
Look out Toronto. A country gal is a-coming.
