"One Art"

So. We have moved. It is official. My Internet, phone and TV were connected this afternoon.





It's been quite a weird few days, so I shall start at the beginning. Friday.



Friday morning, Brad & I woke up at my Mum's house. We stained an outdoor table, loaded Brad's Ute and headed to our flat. By lunch time we had virtually the entire kitchen un-packed, a new TV cabinet made and most of my art on the walls.

By late afternoon we had one sofa, a fridge, a microwave, a foot stool and book shelf. Also, thanks to a lovely friend, our books and DVD's had been unpacked and alphabetically ordered (don't wet your pants Ange).

By early evening we had we had our bed, another sofa and an arm chair. By this time we also had our place blessed. We headed back to Mum's place for another load (and dinner). We returned to our place and fell asleep. Well Brad did. I did not get much sleep. I felt sick.



Saturday morning, we woke up early, and headed over to Mum's. Brad's Dad arrived and it was all on. Furniture, appliances and electrical - all on trailers or in station wagons.

We got to the new place and started to un-load and un-pack. By this time Brad's Mum had arrived bearing delicious slices and a beautiful bunch of Iris's. Shortly after that Erica, Aaliah and MK arrived bearing even more food, and more beautiful flowers. Although Aaliah did laze about, sleeping for the first part. I'll forgive her. The girl isn't quite so great at heavy lifting yet.



As the day went on, boxes became empty, cupboards became full, people came and went.

Then It was just Brad & I. We decided that we had done enough to stop and rest. Our friends Mark, Katrina & Cam stopped by - with more flowers! They had plans for dinner, so we decided we would clean up, grab some eats ourselves, and pick them up later. We planned to open a bottle of wine, and some beers and watch a DVD.

But it wasn't to be. I felt sick again. Brad went to get himself some Fish'n'Chips, and I tried to get comfy on the couch. Before brad returned I was in the loo and having a big ol' vomit. I have never vomited that much in my life. The next 24 hours were much the same.



Despite the awful bug, It was a great move. Thanks so much to all our wonderful friends and family who helped out. Thanks also for all of the gifts and treats. Love you.





Well today I am feeling better. Not great, but better.



It's not the way I had hoped to feel on our first few days here, but it can only get better from here.







..Oh wait, I'm getting a wisdom tooth out tomorrow. Fossa?
