Where does Caitlin’s multi-stop house hunt and Airbnb living begin?
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the Jan Arden Podcast. I am here with Caitlin Green, Sarah Burke. Caitlin Green is somewhere. We don't know where. We're going to have her tell us that. She's searching on the hunt for a house. If anyone has a home for sale that measures up to the stuff that they need. Her and Kyle and Will, please let them know. Sarah Burke, I can tell by her background, she is at Dan's place somewhere. Somewhere near the water. I don't want to give it away. I just don't want people to show up at your house. How are you guys?
I feel like that was such a great intro for my life where it's like very Dickensian of like, does anyone house for sale? Does anyone have a house for sale?
The rag man's here. The rag man. Do you need a rag?
I joke to my friends because they even don't know where I am. People have stopped asking me to hang out. People have stopped asking me to socialize because they just don't know what my status is. And I keep joking that I'm like loading up our covered wagon or packing up our hobos bindle and like riding the rails along like me and Will and Kyle are sharing a can of beans by an open fire. Yeah. But no, we're we are in an Airbnb. We're in a lovely Airbnb at the moment of this recording. And we're here for another six days. And then we actually stay with dear friends of ours. We refer to them as Will's gunkles, his gay uncles. And so we're going to live with them for about a month. unless we find a house um so we'll be there for a month and then we come back to our regular neighborhood in the east end of the city because we've got to get set up a little bit early for will to plan you know kindergarten beginning like to get settled so like enough changes like i started a new job i don't have a house i'm moving every i'm moving our entire life like enough stuff that we like need for the next three months i'm doing this every like 10 to 14 days um
And then I'm like working mornings and... What's the thing that's changed the most from something you had the comfort of at home that you just don't have right now? You can't say the brick wall because it's nice, but...
I think the location, I think I realized like our life was really centered around the location of our last place as you do when you live somewhere for, you know, like 10 years, right? So all of your appointments, all of your favorite restaurants, you know, there was a shopper's drug mart at the end of our street, like yada, yada. So I think just like constantly trying to recenter yourself as it pertains to how long does it take you to get places. In Toronto, that's a big consideration. Like how long does it take me to get around? How long does it take me to pick up Will from Uber? Like I'm just trying to acclimatize myself to things all the time. Will you ever drive? Will you ever drive? Yeah. Man, that's a great question for right now.
I should really. I've said this for years, though, but there's just stuff always happens. And then I like then I have to do I think it's 10 or 11 hours of in-car lessons. And I have to do like another 14 hours of virtual like classes.
class lessons we can record the podcast while you're in the car so is that what you actually have to do to get a license now I thought you just took a fucking driving test like do the written test take a driving test G1 is just that G2 is the in-car stuff yeah
Yeah. So there's a, it's a graduated licensing thing and it's to prevent dummies from like me who don't know the width of the car they're driving from hitting everyone else who's a seasoned driver. Like I certainly get it, but yeah. And it's no, it's no real excuse, but like, look, life would be made easier at this moment if I drove, that's for sure. But God bless Uber. And we have been lucky enough to find places on Airbnb that are walking, you know, distance, like longer walks, but walking distance to a lot of stuff that we need. But it's crazy. But like, I will say what you do is you pare down your stuff. I mean, I was already a minimalist, but man, the amount of stuff we put in storage, the amount of stuff that we donated, the amount of stuff that we, you know, gave to friends.
