It's Done!

I moved! Yay!

..Now I have to pack for our Christmas holiday.. BALLS. 

In all seriousness though, I'm so glad we moved when we did! It was a lovely low-mid 20s during moving weekend, then the following weekend is one of the hottest on record for December?! Crazy. Also managed to have aircon installed on Friday, ready for the 42 degree day on Saturday . I haven't really mentioned it, but I kind of LOVE the owners! So good. 

I have almost finished unpacking this place, thank God. I wanted to have most of it done before we left for Brisbane, so I could find everything we will need. Easy enough, except I cannot find certain things of mine!! My brothers dumped the last load from the move into the garage  (yes, I have a garage now!) and I feel the stuff I need is in a box I missed going through before stacking the stuff for storage. Super sad. Cannot be arsed going through it, so we will go without. No biggie, not really. Just means no swimming for this whale lol. 

Moving meant we got the tree up too! That's exciting . I think it's the thing I was most looking forward to about moving - finally being able to put the tree up!!! Spawn decorated it, so my OCD is going a little haywire, but it's still exciting! I think next year I'll decorate the front yard, just because I can! There's so much solar stuff nowadays that I don't need to worry too much about the killer electricity bill! Woo! ;)

That'll do. I have too much to do to sit here in a pensive state! 

Merry Christmas, crazies.

Moving Sucks.

Soo, I'm moving! ...5 minutes down the road, lol.

As some of you know, Spawn is a turd. Especially where our stairs are involved! So I made the decision to relocate to a single storey residence. Also thought I'd find a place that ticked a few boxes I've been missing, but alas. Beggars can't be choosers. (Really cannot wait to have a pantry again, though! Should have made sure that box was ticked before applying...)
I've already started doing the menial cleaning jobs, in the hopes it will make the final clean much easier. And I've packed most of the things we won't need for the next two weeks. It's been fun, and I'm grateful for Victoria's crappy cool weather! Making this so easy! (Will probably be a heatwave the weekend we actually move, lol!) I like cleaning and organising. It makes me feel good. And whilst I don't hoard, gosh I'm loving the excuse to cull unnecessary items! So freeing!
The downside to moving two weeks before Christmas? Being the kind of person who puts their tree up mid November, I've had to refrain from assembling it until we move. So instead of enjoying it for over a month, we'll be lucky to get two weeks out of it! Not even, seeing as we're off to Queensland a couple of days before Christmas. This makes me so sad! But at least putting the tree up in the new place will make it more homey quicker. Hopefully Spawn will settle in easily enough knowing that's where Christmas is! Hopefully.....

But yes. Packing. Packing sucks. Sure, it has its perks. But knowing I'm doing all this packing, only to have to unpack in a couple of weeks.... Not feeling it. Not at all.
At least I get a holiday a week later though. Need to remind myself of that lol.

Eh. Enough rambling! I attached a photo that shows an example of an afternoon's work. 😂 Talk soon, crazies.

Peace out.

House Hunting.

Why must it be so tedious?!
Actually, I take that back. I kind of enjoy house hunting. What I dislike is finding a house that meets our needs, that fits within our budget! There's always that one flaw. The one that turns you away....
Case in point: I inspected a property yesterday and it was in a good location, reasonably priced, a good size, plenty of parking (not so relevant for my loner self, but hey, gotta love an optimist!) and it even had a bath.
Downfall? There was a dog in the courtyard that had virtually destroyed the area. The oven was dated. As was the shower - almost to an, 'is this gross?' point. Hmph. NEXT....maybe.

You see, I cannot really be that picky, as affordable houses in my area are scarce as hen's teeth. Plus, I want to move before Christmas, because I'm kind of crazy. So I need to find a place right now!
I have a couple more to inspect tomorrow morning. I love how most rental inspections are grouped together on Saturday mornings - because nobody has anything better to do with their Saturday, right?! LOL. Ughhhh.
Anyway, I'm silently hoping one of them is decent. I want to know I'm moving already! I need to prepare for the move. Start packing. Organise things by room/necessity/trash. Ahhh, the life of an overly-organised freak, LOL.

Don't even get me started on the paperwork. Excuse me, real estate? Are you sure you wouldn't like my soul with that..?

So that's me, right now. Busy busy! Planning for our holiday, planning for our move, taking Spawn to a million appointments... I'm not kidding when I say my calender is CHOCKERS. It really is!!! Exhausting, this mum business.

Peace out.

Reminiscing.

So way back when (think five years ago), I used to blog. My posts were similar to the ones you read today, in that I was a crazy lady back then too. Except I was also sleep deprived and dealing with the perks of being mother to a (not-so) little baby. Nawwwwwww.

Anyway, I thought I'd share my first post from my old blog...... I've grown up a lot these past five years, haha. :)

I wasn't always this way. Once upon a time I was about as normal as normal gets. Happy, carefree, impulsive..... Not sure what happened!? ...oh, that's right. A living being decided to grow inside of me and not only steal my heart, but also my sanity.
No wait, that's a lie. I've never been normal. I've never cared what anyone thought... Always spoke my mind, and did whatever I pleased. I'm the sort of special you only read about. The infamous "window licker" variety. Rare species we are. ....Rare, yet totally awesome!
So I bet you're wondering what I'm doing here!? Well, I have all this *stuff* running through my head! All day, every day, it's there...Sending my brain into overdrive, and resulting in the CRAZY. So I decided (after severe peer pressure!) to start a blog. Never done this before.... Slightly disturbed. Like the turd my son did this morning.... I wont gross you out with details, but it was badddddddd!
So anyway, the moral of my blog? Oh, there is none. I just wanted to waste your time! :)
Up and coming blogs may include.....
Moving across the country.
Christmas chaos.
Smelly poo's.
Cleaning.
Rants.
And other hilarious bullsh*t.

You may not know this, but I moved across the country shortly after writing that post. With my lovely one year old and not much else. The similarities between then and now are a little crazy. Which is fitting, considering my crazy theme!
Then: single mum, man-hater, battling postnatal depression, stress relating to the impending move, adjusting to life with a walker...
Now: single mum, man-hater, overcoming depression, job hunting stress, trying to decide whether to move or stay where I am, adjusting to life with a (somewhat) 'diagnosed' boy....

No wonder I'm crazy!! I need to stop putting myself in situations that cause so much stress! And maybe go get my hair dyed. My greys are showing.

Peace out.
