Perthing it up

Anton came down this weekend, took some of our furniture up to Perth. We’ve got half a couch left in the lounge, and he took the shelves we’re gonna use as a pantry. As well as our chest of drawers. Its suddenly became more “real”, I haven’t really had a chance to look at it properly until now. A week ago, we learned that we’d be moving up to Perth. In another week, we’ll be up there. Its been all so surreal the last few months. Its like life has decided to grab a hold of the reins and steer itself for awhile. I’ve not really had any choice but to go where the flow takes me.

Its good that I wanna go where this flow is heading, at least :)

I’ll be glad to get out of this slump my brain has been in of late. I am by nature a very tidy, clean person. I hate being surrounded by mess. I think that’s Mum’s influence mostly. And I was clean and tidy when I first met Sam, after I moved in (and, before I did as well!) I cleaned the place in College Grove from top to bottom. And kept it clean, too. Since moving into this place on Picton Road things haven’t been quite the same. Its smaller, but I can’t keep it tidy, let alone clean. And the longer it goes that way, the more I hate having to do it.

So hopefully getting out of here will remedy that somewhat.

Also looking forward to getting away from Bunbury. There’ll be people I’ll miss, especially having our parents so close (although John and Robyn aren’t anywhere near as close as my parents) and a couple of friends, but Perth has friends, opportunities… I think it’ll be good for us. Its probably about time it happened. I know we said we’d never “do” Perth, but here we are. Doing it, lol.

May already have a job. I’d initially told people I DO have one, but after rethinking the conversation I had on the phone it WAS all “You have a job” until I mentioned not being in Perth for another week or so. Then she became rather vague. She gave me contact details and said to call as soon as I get up to Perth, but IS that a job?

    Hmm. I think it’s a probable job. I mean, she can’t tell you no just because of one more week, can she?

    I’m excited for you guys. ^_^ And I know what you mean about the clutter… I nearly had a breakdown today because the place was just awful.. and I feel like I’m fighting a never ending battle with it. I mean, it’s too small to put anything away properly, so I get easily frustrated.

    Anyway, I need your new address when you have it, so email! ^_^

    Its working a call centre, so I wouldn’t be distraught if I don’t get it. But as a fill-in job it’ll do :) I really hope its a probable job.

    I’m sitting on the bed atm, surrounded by the mess in the bedroom. Its almost depressing. Through the wall is Sam’s office (I avoid it as much as is humanely possible, and don’t clean it)… its worse, and starting to smell funky. That’s depressing. Then there’s the main living area… how the bin manages to fill itself (and never get emptied) when Sam and I aren’t eating here is beyond me. THAT smells. I just can’t bring myself to go out there.

    Address emailed ^_^

    Heh, at least we’re not moving to another country :)
    Its much suck having friends overseas.

    You’ll see us again! Hells, we’re gonna be at your house this weekend, while we’re moving XD

    Have I mentioned recently that we’re insane? No? Right. We’re insane!

    Thankye muchly! ^_^

    And yes, friends overseas suck… But you’re not even leaving the state! Having friends on the other side of the country isn’t much better. Heh.
