It’s official - we’re moving
All of my wife’s students have been told, as has my wife’s family (my side has known about it for months). What makes it even more official is that we had our first open house today after the house was listed on the market yesterday afternoon.
At the end of the year, we’re relocating to Sydney.
It’s exciting, scary, stressful and exhausting at the same time. We have spent the last couple of weeks offloading large quantities of clutter to Freecycle and shifting other things into temporary storage. The house has not looked this clean and nice since, well ever. It’s just a shame that after 3 years, it takes leaving to get the house looking like the streamlined, uncluttered place I always wanted to live in.
We don’t have anywhere to live in Sydney yet (the rental search company Sydney Rental Serach begins weaving its magic on Monday). I don’t have a job either. Hopefully these things will sort themselves out. In the meantime, I choose to worry about them extensively, in between bouts of worrying about selling the house and having everything ready in time for when the removalists arrive to bundle up all our gear. And if I find I still have spare moment of happiness and lightness, I can worry about Christmas. Woo.
