A facebook memory today of my first morning waking up living in wellington - 11 years ago 😭 I've only got four mornings left here now

We asked our landlord to arrange to have the kitchen cleaned since it is really built up with gunk on the walls and things and it hasn't been properly cleaned between tenancies since at least before I moved in over two years ago.. and she went downstairs to our neighbour and asked them to 'help us'.

It just hit me that this might be the actual last week I ever live in wellington. And now I am sad. Like I knew I was leaving but it's just occured to me that I might not ever get to come back.

Does anyone else not like telling people their plans for self improvement (or like.. in general) in case you fail and then it's really sad and embarrassing.. but then you struggle with achieving things because you need help with accountability but you don't want anyone to knoooowww.. ?

I put a post up on zero waste for a few things to give away and someone commented and then messaged me about a couple of things and then messaged again like 'since I asked first' and idk why but that I rubbed me the wrong way and also like you literally did not ask first. So.

A strange side effect of my new medication seems to be getting nauseous when my heartrate goes up, which is very weird and uncomfortable. Was supposed to do three hours gardening today but only managed two before I had to go home and felt sick for half of that. Lying on bed recovering now.

I dropped my books off at the library (by bribing myself with several bags of lollies) but was too in my head at the time to get another book so now I still don't have a book to read dammit

Does anyone have any vacuum cleaner suggestions? I realised I don't have to pay the next fortnight of rent because we pay in advance, so I have a bit of money and I am thinking of putting it to getting a decent vacuum cleaner so I can be a proper grown up..

I can't sleep I just keep thinking about all the things I'm going to do to the house when I move home. Strip the overgrowm garden and plant it again. Finally clear out my childhood bedroom and set it up nicely for my niblings. Make myself a workspaces with my sewing machine and a space to workout. 🏡

My flatmates have rearranged the house since I took my furniture away which is obviously fine but they've moved all the comfy chairs away from the windows? Like we had a couch by the window and they've moved it to the opposite end of the room and now you can't see anything out of it.. 🤷‍♀️

It is weird weather in wellington today. There is no wind. The sky is white. The temperature is so neutral it's basically unnoticeable. It's not even particularly muggy. It almost feels like the absence of weather.

Nothing hits quite like that first shower alone in a house with gas hot water after two plus solid days of moving and organising and sorting and getting grimey and hot and sweaty.. and knowing you have lovely clean sheets to get into later too 🙌

Me, talking to my dad about things we need to clear out of the shed "I wonder if that guy who does stuff would be interested in them?" Dad, understanding what I meant immediately without further explanation "oh yea, he might be" I think we might be related..

Just found a folder in the shed with my brother's name from school.. he hasn't lived in this house for 20 years 😂

Going around the house and the sheds (three of them including a two car garage that can't even fit one car in it) is making me feel a lot better about the amount of stuff I have... this is clearly a Family Trait 😂

I have called in at my (dad's) auntie's place on my way home from the move and it's her 80th, she's had several friends popping in and out saying hello and bringing presents and cards and we're all having a bit of bubbles and a chat. Won't be home very early at this stage..

I have been packing with only shortish breaks for 15 hours. I am almost all ready. There's like one more box I should probably have packed but I didn't have a really suitable box so. 🤷‍♀️

submitted 10 days ago • 0 comments

Oooh my god. I am nearly sorted. Taken apart some of the big furniture ready for loading in the trailer. Stacked boxes by door. Alarm set bright and early tomorrow to hopefully get most of my car packed before my dad gets here. Just going to empty my bedside table so it can go in the trailer. Phew!

Now I've only got my kitchen crockery to go and I've only got big boxes left but I don't want to overload any boxes because they'll be too heavy and unsafe.. so now I'm trying to decide if I can repack any of my other neatly loaded boxes or try find some slightly smaller boxes for my crockery..

submitted 11 days ago • 3 comments

Basically all I need to pack now is my books (only a small bookshelf), my kitchen crockery, and my linen. I've got to try get as much as I can in this load so that hopefully I will only need to do one more load after that, when I actually leave. But I just have so much stuff 😬
