Careful what you wish for...

I am getting what I've been wishing for... in a sudden strange dramatic way. I wanted to move out. And now I'm forced to move out. Sooner than I'd expected. The Universe really wants me out.

It's scary and painful and perhaps I'll look back at this time (well off in the future) and laugh...

Hmmmph, I also wanted adventure, did I not? Well, I am receiving it in abundance!

Saving daylight

In the last blog entry I mentioned a bout of craziness. Well. Since then things have been even more crazy. It's adventures I wanted and it's adventures I've been getting. So, much activity.

And *ahem* I am announcing that I will be moving house again. I haven't found one yet but withing the next one to two months I will be moving. Ideally I'd like to be in my new home by mid-January.

I had planned to have a holiday in late Feb and will be still aiming for that and doing my best to bring in more income. I'm also learning strategies to deal with the emotions that go along with all this change. And discovering how stress affects my sleeping and well-being. I've started yoga classes. I'm eating better. I've made debt arrangements. I've made some purchases on things I've been wanting. I've given away things I don't need. I've lost a couple of kilos.

I'm still scared of the unknown at times. My family and friends have been extremely supportive. I know I'll cope with whatever comes my way.

Dolphins

It's crazy-time and I've got lots on.

I've finished moving and am starting to settle in (in-between frantic bouts of activity). I'm trying to get my internet happening and discovering that you need to already have internet in order to connect to another internet plan... quite frustrating!

I've been having many on-road adventures.

I've been to parties, visited with family and friends, been on a short holiday.

I've swum in the ocean and seen dolphins playing. Lots of dolphins. Playing. Amazing :0

I did my tax and had a pleasant surprise.

I've made some new big purchases and taken other things to the op-shop.

I'm off to a new yoga class this evening.

Cheerio then x

Mini-break

Well, I'd say the last fortnight has been one long adventure. Moving house. Now I'm off on a mini-break and ignoring the unpacking. It can wait. I'll be without internet for a little while but will record anything of note to put online later.

It doesn't feel like I'm on holidays yet... probably cos I'll spend the next 5 hrs organising and packing. Once I leave tomorrow morning I'll imagine the wind in my hair blowing me to my next destination and leaving my cares behind.

Here's to looking after myself!

A taxing move

I'm moving and it's chaos in both houses. Wishing I had more time, a few days off in a row... rather than half a day here, half a day there, and the odd hour or two. Oh, it'll get done, I'll be all moved and less a lot of rubbish and things I don't need, all organised, settled...

It's also tax time. I've left it to the last minute.

*Cough* back to packing or tax or working it is.

Feeling adventurous?

I'm constantly learning about myself. Lately I'm delving into my feelings and emotions. I have a feeling it will serve me in my search for change and adventure (and will be useful in general). It's interesting and uncomfortable yet I will persist.

I'm not in my new abode yet. It's still happening but dates have changed a little. I've gone through some belongings and thrown some of them out... and realising if I'd done that months earlier I would have had so much more room! I'm reminding myself of how little space I'll have at the new house and to be ruthless in deciding what to get rid of. Also, it will save me time and effort if I cull now.

I'm planning a little weekend away. I was going to go at the end of October but think I'll move it up to my first weekend off in November. I'll be integrated in the new house by then and ready for an adventure.

Finding time

I waste a lot of time. It's habitual. I'm a chronic time waster. And this has to change. Now. My newest adventure is to make the most of each day. To cut out things that don't serve me. I read something once... that a behaviour doesn't need hours of analysis to change. A new action can create a new habit in an instant.

I stayed by myself in a low-technology house last night, had a pleasant evening, 10 hrs of sleep and awoke this morning refreshed and positive. I need more of that.
