People are funny though. They rifle through your stuff, your life even, and then knock the price down by half. Because you know, one dollar makes sooooo much difference.
But anyhow, alot of crap has been cleared out and I got enough dosh to pay for 2 weeks rent, so I'm happy. The car of course is another matter. That will be sold by next weekend, if not this one. Then I can book my flight. I will be gone in about 5 weeks. (Yes, 5..I have cut it down somewhat)
I have so much to organise. Today has been a lazy day, because yesterday I was just researching EVERYTHING. Like how to vote, redirection of mail, flight times and prices, jobs in Canada etc etc.
Would be really nice if you could just pay someone to do all this stuff....lol
So I got totally stressed out and on brain overload. Sent myself over 10 emails from work to home to remind myself of what I had to do, and even then I forgot a whole load of things.
It's a very daunting process...I can't wait till I'm on that plane. Even though I'll be wasting a day of my life on it...lol
All I can hope for is that half normal people atleast are sitting next to me.
Well I'm exhausted, time to go and lie on the lounge and kinda hope all this can disappear by morning and be done when I wake up! (Yes its just a fantasy, but it is a nice one!)
Apologies, no quote. Well actually, I'll give you a little one.
The guy at the post office that got totally confused with my passport application....(if you bother to read this on a regular basis, you will know what I'm talking about) I went back to see him to post some photos overseas.
I put the packet on the weigh thingy and it said 120gms.
He looks at me and says "How much do you *want* it to weigh?"
Not being use to store owners being nice I (very bewildered) said "why?"
"Because if it's under 100gms it's cheaper. It *is* under 100gms isn't it?"
I was still a little overwhelmed, so I said "If you say so!"
So I got my packet sent for $3 instead of $5! I ofcourse thanked him...
"Just for you" he says.
Funny that. Just when you think being nice to people gets you nowhere in this world, you find that sometimes it actually does!
I've made a pretty big decision. I'm going to Canada in about 10 weeks. I just have to sell my car to pay out the loan, and get some money together, and then I'll be off!
So I have spent the better part of this week organising myself. I'm going to start selling all my wordly possessions..lol And then once the car has been sold I will have a better idea time wise of when I can go.
It is all dependant on money. But as far as I am concerned, the sooner the better :-)
I will miss so many things though. This house for one. It's like my proof of independance in a way. And it has become my home. And the park down the street. I've only ever been there once, but it's a really nice park...lol
And I spose the fact that I am so comfortable here. I know the streets and shops and people, the idea of losing that is a little scary...however, I am reeeeally looking forward to the change :-)
The other thing I will miss is just getting up on a Saturday morning, driving to my mums house and chatting with my sis while doing my washing. Then maybe popping into see mum at work and having lunch. Coming home and just lying on the lounge watching a video. I spose that's a big reason why I never bought a washing machine really..lol It is nice to go home of a weekend and find that even in this world, some things just don't ever change.
And of course, now I know I will be back in Australia for my sisters wedding next January. So if I really hate it over there (which I doubt) I know when I'm coming home. Also makes my friends and family a bit happier too...its much easier to miss people and things when you don't know when you shall ever see them again.
Eventhough I will be living a million miles away, in a totally alien place, I am so happy like you would not believe. I never thought I would get so much enjoyment out of selling all my stuff...lol
Anyhow, thats enough for today. I have so much to do.
No quote this week as my brain is on overload and I really can't think of any :-)
Mainly I was just concerned that this horrid weather would continue. Next week you see is when my friend from Canada arrives, and I did not relish the thought of trudging through Sydney in the rain. Beyond that is ofcourse the fact I don't want him flying 3 trillion miles to the "sunny" country and to spend a week in rain lol
But they are saying it will be all clear by Sunday, and today was 27c so I'm happy :-)
I listened to the tape from my card reading again. And I realised that when she was talking about certain people in my life, I actually got them confused. Now what she said makes perfect sense. The only part I'm waiting for is this man that will, as she said, bring what I want..a harmony between two souls. At this point in time I have no idea who this could be. I don't go too well in the single scene I've decided. I hate doing the "let's be friends" routine. But with some people there is just nothing there! And the ones that are around me at the moment are not 'possibles' by any means. Don't get me wrong, I love being alone. But sometimes I wonder, and I have to remind myself I would rather be alone and lonely, then lonely and not alone.
So I have two "dates" this weekend.....one is with my exboyfriend. I love being his friend, but it pains me. I just can't help but think what would happen if one of us found someone else. Like if he did, I would be very happy for him, but then I wouldn't speak to him again out of courtesy to the new gal. (Like the last thing you want when starting a new relationship is finding the ex still hangs around) But I wonder if it was vice versa. He tells me it wouldn't matter to him. I spose I just don't want to hurt him anymore. It kills me to hurt any one. But he says he's "cool" with it, I just can't beleive it. Sceptical old me I spose.
The second is with the guy from the ball. He's such a lovely man. But, "nothing" is there. I agreed to go out, and I hope I can do the friends speech and he's ok with that. I would really like to have him as a mate.
Life is just far too complicated some times. I can't wait to go overseas. Change of scenery is really what I need.
I dyed my hair again tonight. Back to a darkish brown. Only cause I'm off to the hairdressers this weekend and I was starting to get regrowth and I didn't want them trying to convince me that they could dye it (at 100 times more expensive than doing it myself)
I also seem to have a pot plant pincher. 2 of them have gone missing in as many weeks. So I re did the garden on the weekend and planted them in the ground :-)
Anyhow, terribly tired about now, enjoy your week. Thanks to every one that has done the survey so far. Answers are quite interesting :-)
Quote of the week :
One of the warehouse guys at work saw me last week out at dinner with my ex. He asked me about it at work and I explained it was my ex boyfriend. The old guy standing next to him (who has a fascination with my legs) says:
"Ex boyfriend huh? That means we have a chance then"
Yeah good luck lmao
