finally....?

Well most of my stuff is out of my house, only two boxes, a few shelves and three items of furniture (one of which is going to be donated to my antique dealer in return for repairing my table)!

Now my office looks like home - well almost. Part of my stuff is here in my office (in my parent's basement), some of it in the guest room I am occupying in my parent's home, some in boxes in my warehouse (also my parent's basement) - yes that which I did not lend to my friends (indefinitely) or sold at the flea market is here in my parent's home.

NOT to my amazement most of the things that my daughter and I packed are staying here. Going to Bali eventually - 4 boxes of toys, 4 boxes kitchen stuff and 1 box of my private "can't part from" stuff.

I wonder how many boxes I will be packing from my office to go to Bali??

Well at least on the other end (other side of the equator) things seem to moving along - Tania found someone to help me get my visa as well as one for Sara. Now I have got to start making a decision on schooling. AND then...... a home/office/warehouse.... ARGHhh....

Geez.... the amount of junk that a person manages to stuff into one house over a period of 11 years!!!

This picture shows only a few of the boxes. But now one week later it seems that there is no end to the stuff that I am carrying out of the house.

And this is a tiny house 57 square meter or 613 square feet. No basement!!!! How did I do it!!! It just seems that I kept putting things into the house and never taking it out.

And the books!!! How many books did I collect over the years. I always knew that I had a thing for books, but this is crazy. And shoes.... well the shoes only fill two boxes. My books fill three boxes and a whole book case in the room that I am occupying at my parents house till I move to Bali.

It is sort of depressing really. Every evening I go to my house and pack. At night I come back to my parents place (where my office is in the basement by the way) - no going home for me.... I have no home at the moment.... boo hoo!!!

Ok - off to bed now!
