Wow, time had flown. I apologise for not keeping you up to date with things, but time has really gotten away from me.
So first up, I had a lovely Christmas and New Years. Spent time in Taupo with the family, and while it rained torrentially a lot of the time, we still managed to have a lovely holiday.
My new house is finished - the walls have all been freshly painted and it looks awesome. I can't wait to move in. Unfortunately, now the hard work starts. I have to admit that I am feeling quite overwhelmed about the whole thing. I was quite spoilt with my last move from Melbourne as I had professional packers. This time, the packing falls to me. Eeeeek!
I have to clean the new house before I move in as it is covered in dust from the renovations. The fun does not end there as when I move, I need to go back to clean the old house so I can rent it (and then need to find tenants). And of course, the most fun (she says sarcastically) is the gardening I have to do in both houses. With this hideous humid weather we have been having means the weeds have exploded in both gardens.
I know that this list of things to do is manageable, but I am the sort of person who struggles to actually get started. So I stress and worry about the anticipation of the work there is to do. Not a very productive use of time.
For now I am having a bit of a break having spent the morning painting the last of the new place. Next I will start packing. Good times!!!!!
