Roller coaster ride

This morning I stumbled across a memory from earlier this year (late last year?). I’d never been on a roller coaster, and I mentioned this to him when we were talking about theme parks. A few weeks later, he took me on a mystery drive to St Kilda. We went to Luna Park, and I went on my first ever roller coaster ride, with him by my side to look after me. (I’m scared of heights, and Luna Park’s scenic railway was enough to make me shriek).

We went looking for Cold Rock icecream afterwards, but I think the store had closed, so we got gelato instead. 

Moving stress

I don’t know whether it’s one of the following…

1. actual packing & moving
2. the chaos of huge disorganisation and mess
3. so so much happening in the next three months (move, holiday, move again)
4. maybe a little bit nervous (after admitting that I wasn’t) about moving in with him

but I’m feeling really frazzled lately.

I’m so grateful for being able to take a day off next Friday before the move happens - for cleaning and last minute packing and organising. Things will start being more settled (for a short time) when I’m at least living in one place.

Boxes

It’s time to be packing again. Last time I moved, it was the first time in 6 years. This time just a whisker under 12 months, and then we’ll be moving again in about 2 months. Change. Being uprooted. The end result is worth it, I’m sure - nesting. Together. We’re both looking forward to it and I think both slightly nervous about it. 

I have so much stuff and I’m shedding a lot of it. I thought I got rid of a lot of stuff when I move last time - really, I’m such a hoarder. Some of it is rubbish, some of it is on eBay, a lot of it is going to the op shop.

The house is stacked with a lot of boxes right now.

Is it any surprise I’m totally in love with my new Macbook? It’s shiny, new - did I mention new? - and absolutely shits all over my 5 year old Dell desktop.
Wheeeeee! New toy!

Sham-WOW

The shamwow ad is on tv. I want a shamwow. WOW! The guy’s accent / intonation is exactly like the boxer on the Simpsons.
