Yes… that’s what I am, tired of sorting stuff out. It’s okay to sort things out but not when you are doing it for a couple of weeks. I know it’s something that I really have to do but in the end you can’t see the wood for the trees. All I see is big BIG forest… It seems I’m all alone in this huge place of many trees.
I’m not complaining, I just need to vent. I warned you guys about this in a previous post, I really need to vent every now and then. It’s still very exciting but I do need to vent, as simple as that. So this is my post for today, I will continue packing another box once I’ve uploaded this. Yes I know it’s late but these days I really don’t seem to keep an eye on the clock… I’m camping out in my own house and in a few days it will only get worse since A. will move all the stuff over this weekend.
I still had to write a few letters today but I mailed them all off, finally all the paperwork is done so yes there is progress it’s just sooooooooooooooooo slow. Also mailed off an envelop that should’ve been mailed years ago. A. is looking at real estate in the meantime, he found a really cool house in the UK, closer to work and absolutely gorgeous, high and big windows, near a canal, garden. I shouldn’t get too excited really…
It would be so nice… who knows, I might post some pictures on here in a couple of months…
Well I’d better start before it gets too late…

We cleaned out so much today, took all the boxes and stuff from the storage to our place so it will be a piece of cake to get it in the van and move. I still have a lot to do though but we are making progress. A. wants me to take a radio course as soon as we get to the UK since we will be sailing in Croatia in 12 days. Jeez, time is flying because we only have one more week over here.
I have been practicing the alphabet with him last night, in bed. I couldn’t sleep so I have been spelling words instead… yeah I know… I’m still not sure if I should take the course or not, it’s like an exam and to be honest I don’t think I’m going to need it if he will get the exam then we’re fine. He’s just worried, I’m not. It’s also not exactly cheap so I think we’ll be fine if he would take the exam and not me. [I’m sure I will not remember the alphabet, I’m practicing: alpha, bravo, charlie, delta but it isn’t fluently]
Anyways, tomorrow will be another day of packing boxes and removing stuff, filling gaps in walls and camping out in our apartment. The vulture came over this evening because we had to discuss what he wants me to leave behind. I guess most of the stuff is going to be taken out; we will demolish the place so the estate agent will have a reason to complain. I won’t leave a thing here. Well just a few bits and pieces because it’s easier for us to leave it the way it is than having to remove it.
The guy was so kind to offer to take it out for us… Not sure if he will do it because he wasn’t willing to pay key money. Can’t really blame him though. I was slightly disappointed but A. said not to worry, living here saved him a lot of money anyway because of the cheap rent compared to what some expats are willing/having to pay for an apartment down town. I guess he’s right. I just have to accept things the way they are.
Tomorrow I will meet up with my neighbour who will get my sewing machine and some decorations. She asked me to meet up next week to have a coffee and say goodbye, not sure though if we have time to arrange that. Funny how people still want to see you before you leave, while I haven’t seen her for ages. It would be nice though to meet up for an hour or so and have coffee, we’ll see. Well I’d better go, there’s things to do but the list is getting shorter! Yehaaaaaaa.
