Beautiful Amnesia

I thought I’d add a quick update here about the housing situation. I landed in Melbourne after an all night flight from Singapore on the Friday and it was rush rush rush rush rush. To the bank, to the lawyers, to the actual house for a final inspection and all that sort of boring stuff. All that on close to no sleep and sitting in a cramped position on an aircraft for an extended period of time. Ok well I lie a little bit, the house inspection was exciting because they were finished! Well mostly. It was quite dramatic (as dramatic as it could get in my state of comatose) because they had left a few things out and a few things were changed and … and … argh … I don’t really want to go into that now because I’ve had been dealing with it the last couple of weeks and yes it has totally done my poor head in.

Here are some photos of the completed project. I did have some photos from just before I left for Singapore when they were still painting the place and putting finishing touches to it but I guess I’ll skip those for now because at this point it is finished. Yes. Complete! COMPLETE!! I never thought I’d see this day.

And yes it’s all very lovely and I have even managed to muster up some enthusiasm. I wish I could have taken the whole week off work this week just to concentrate on moving and all the headaches that come along with it. But I will peservere, this will happen. The long ardous frustrating phone calls to telcos and internet companies, gas companies, electrical companies (all designed to suck the money and life force out of you) are now almost over. Packing is dare I say, almost halfway there and I have a few more nights to go. We have done a few trips in my little car to ferry some of the lighter stuff across … where did all this STUFF come from? Like in the past five years, I have accumulated STUFF. I have a lot of STUFF. And I still want STUFF. I think I should STUFF THAT for a little while!

I now know why my friend Libs said that she will NEVER EVER buy another property, and NEVER EVER move again. Like EVER. For me, never say never, but at this point … I am certainly on her side.

More to come!
