It feels longer somehow but it is strange to remember that we moved in with a few possessions and now we can hardly move for boxes and detritus :-) I will be culling some of my stuff - my beloved coffee machine for one. It is great but really I can't keep it as I only use it occasionally these days and for filter coffee I have cafetieres coming out of my ears. I have a Tassimo machine which doesn't need the high levels of maintenance that my old machine does.
I've lots of boxes of things like software that in reality I don't actually need in my office. I look back and I've used them what? Twice in the last year if that! Stuff has to go or be stored away. I think that it is pretty much a case of being ruthless with things. DId I ever use those bits I kept from the installation of the first kitchen that I held on to "just in case"? No of course I didn't and there are so many things like that. My clothes are also a case in point they too have a life of storage and not usage. I think I could wear shirts and trousers for at least 2 months looking at what I have. I don't need that many shirts and trousers. Other stuff is way past its sell by date.
Today was slightly disappointing in as much as I got my new PC which is massive and great and wonderful but there was no keyboard and mouse so I have no idea if it works or not. I'll have to wait for them to arrive and then try it out. What a nuisance but these days I'm not upset or annoyed or throwing my toys out of the pram or anything like that. It just isn't necessary these days.
Flocky finally completed on his house today and for him it was a strange and poignant day and I'm not surprised it surely must be when you finally walk away from your house and your past life. It is a shock to the system and suddenly all the things you've planned have arrived and you aren't sure about it. It's what you want but today it is real.
It made me think about when I returned to the house on Saturday. I don't miss it at all, it's one of the good things about being an INTJ really. There's a switch that says "OK, that's over let's get on with things as they are now". My "new" life is just beginning - hell it's only a few weeks old but I am happy, confident and content. Sure things aren't happening quite like I wanted but there's a piece of me that says - if things slip a day or two it isn't the end of the world, it's just they way it is. I would be a nervous wreck in the old days and be upset and angry and aggressive. Now? I just let it happen it isn't any use getting angry or upset with things. I can't do anything about it other than wait for when it arrives - like my bed - it arrived three days later than I thought it was going to but it makes sleeping in it all the better :-) It's a real treat, it is lovely and comfortable and warm. It is what I wanted (almost I really fancied the designer bed but it was impractical) :-)
Soon, in a few days I will have everything I believe I need to start my business properly and get it working. I need to do some practice and make sure I know my trade and my business. Then I will launch it and hopefully start making some money - I need to repay my investments. Again though, I am not worried about this. I believe I have enough streetwise moves to make this business viable. I have been planning and thinking about it for some years. Now is the time to nail the opportunity.
SO 4 weeks today since we moved, hardly believable really. Later we will be going up to London to meet a friend who owns a pub. He has a free evening of Oysters and I believe it is either Gin or Vodka - I will find out tomorrow. We can see how our local station and the fast trains to London work out for us too. Looking forward to it - that's the thing these days. I used to dread leaving the house and now I still have a little fear but I am looking forward to going to this pub and enjoying an evening out with some good friends. Flocky and our mate MB will be there. Oysters! Love them.. :-)
