Miaow our house is on the market! The block has power and there is a silver ute in our fleet.
I feel like I have disappeared off the face of the friendship earth. Sorry all who care, but I have been cleaning, packing, recycling, throwing out and moving stuff. After 3 weeks of all of this horrible process, Hugh was able to take some decent photos of a made over interior and we have got our house up on www.allhomes.com.au. as of last Thursday. My cousin Rowena, a friend who is a marketing lecturer, H and I wrote the advert. Im now having to keep my mobile with me and just waiting on people to call. Hopefully someone will fall in love with the place and want it as much as we did 7 years ago. A variety of people have told me I am stupid to try selling privately, but this has been balanced by those who have been supportive. I figure I will give it my best shot and see what happens.
In the middle of all this unsettled crazy preparation to sell/move we got a kitten. He is a real character and has lived up to his name Drake (had to be to go with Duck). He proved his water liking ability by arguing with Duck about who gets to drink the shower drips first and falling into the bath last week. Miaow! I must admit, his arrival has been great for me because I stop cleaning to play with him. He has got an amazing purr and is very relaxed. I had some people looking through the house yesterday, so took Drake and Rach to my mums to keep them out of the way. He was so relaxed and happy over there he ended up having a sleepover with R. Duck appreciated being an only cat for the night, so everyone was happy.
Everything seems to be happening at once.
Hugh came home with the much researched Ute on Friday. Girl answer - it is silver and I havent even got round to driving it yet. It was put straight to work moving boxes to mums and also gear out to Carwoola. It has a few dings, and makes some wierd noises but all this shall be sorted this week when it goes in for a service. Its very wierd having two cars after 3 years of only having one. Oh well it had to happen before we move out of town, and now is very useful.
The progress at Carwoola has been amazing. There is now a power pole, a phone line and a little shed. Lots of machinery and sub contractors have progressed things in a huge way, site works are all happening with trenches and fill. Hugh has been flat out coordinating everything but it has paid off in a big way.
Ive also realised I need to be spending time working on things for the Baptists Today conference because it is sneaking up to August and the promotional mail out needs to go this week. I have to work out how to get open office to do mailing labels before Thursday. Yep, fun everywhere.
Im having to go up a gear in so many things at the moment. Its sad that I feel that going to work is a break…. And the womens mentoring group I am facilitating tomorrow is working on work life balance this week. Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
And yes I think I have lost it. Bed time.
