Rankin Inlet

The move from Kugluktuk to Rankin Inlet has been an easy one. Everything we own was already here waiting for us. Staying in Kugluktuk was not an easy move for me after a few months. Lack of work and the feeling of being 'black listed' in a small town was not fun for me. The move to Rankin I hope will be a more positive move this year. Having resumes out there already helps but it is not enough until I am actually working.

Our apartment, yes a real apartment, is smaller but just as nice. We do not need to wait to have our water trucked in or our sewage trucked out. We can use water as freely as we wish here. One downside or upside, depending on how I look at it if I want to loose weight, is we are located on the top floor of this building. Being only three floors is not too bad. But try lugging boxes and groceries up the stairs.

We have public laundry facilities located on our floor just a door down the hall from us. Makes it easy seeing as no one has to lug loads of clothes up and down three flights of stairs. We do not have a garbage chute so our garbage is lugged down the stairs to outside bins. Our neighbours seem nice, as I have only formerly met one so far. She seems nice and works at the CIBC bank in town. Over all the building is clean and quiet.

Today we also got our Bell HD receiver hooked up to the buildings satellite. :)
