Brrrrrr

Have you seen the latest Coke add?  It's kinda funky in a way... though I'm sure it will grow to become rather irritating... kind of like my patients sometimes... at first they're cute, or you laugh off their "quirks", but soon enough those same things infuriate you... ah well.... tis life I guess.

I'm thick in the mire of house hunting and packing up... two things for which you will have already noted I'm not a big fan of.  Finding a "perfect home" is not easy.  Nor is packing up and saying goodbye to the place you've been calling home for the last 12 months or so.

I won't miss....

  • The cold floorboards (they were great in the summer though!)
  • the creaky venetians
  • the noisy traffic
  • the creaky doors
  • the lack of doors between my room and the kitchen....

I will miss....

  • The great big backyard
  • My housemate practising the piano
  • The comforting sound of friends in the house
  • The walks... from Rosanna Station to home, and the circuit along the wetlands
  • my quick & easy route to the Eastern Freeway

Both lists could have many more items... and some items could fit on both lists!  The more bothersome list is the "things to do before the end of June"  I won't share that one with you, suffice to say its all about sorting, packing, cleaning and throwing away... the nuts and bolts of moving.  Ugh... time for bed!

I appreciate all your thoughts, prayers and suggestions as I wearily approach June 28th (there ain't enough hours between now and then, either!)

Tschuss till next time... <><

Homeless

Or I soon will be if I don't find a new place to live by about the 27th of June and counting!

I'll be dog/house sitting for my sister for a week till the 2nd... but that's still not very long.

I've been homeless before, so I can manage for a bit, but its no fun really.  I'm so sick of the moving thing, I've changed address almost too many times to count in the last decade... If I could afford it, I think I'd buy a caravan! ;)  Nah, a houseboat! 

I'd appreciate your prayers, ideas, suggestions over the next two weeks or so....

I really don't want to be homeless :(
