New things

8:00 am from my new house, while I sit on the sofa and contemplate what to do next? I moved in yesterday, cleaned a bit, cooked nothing, and there's still a bit more to do today. 

Clean the Windows, scrub the kitchen platforms and because our truck with the real stuff hasn't arrived yet, I've nothing to do save imagine where everything goes. 

I've hypothetically filled in the cabinets with all the clothes, found spice racks and stuffed them full with jars and bottles of condiments and herbs, filled up my pantry and stacked all utensils, decorated the interiors with knick knacks and souvenirs and draped the news beds with my crisp linen beddings..in my imagination this house is a fully functioning casa Salama..in reality I've no utensils to even start cooking etc etc. 

There are a few repair works that will gradually happen over the course of stay, some bulbs needs screwing, holes need drilling, racks need fitting..and few things I'm pretty sad about..like the stuff we left back in our previous house..our pretty dining table, ironing board, kettle, rice cooker, wooden cabinet, my plants; my beautiful Amazonian forest of delicate flowers and tender new leaves, my beautiful pots birthing new streams of greenery (:(:(:() and some more..I might get sad talking about it.

My consolation prize are the new paintings hung all over the house, a bulky dining table which isn't a shade on my earlier wooden table, a dainty balcony and a vintage clock. Sigh..this is my home now and I mean to make the best of it. 

The area is pretty fabulous so that's a big big plus..and what else do I tell myself to not miss my earlier wee town and it's wonderful people? 

This city will need getting used to.

The new bed will need getting used to as well because man oh man I didn't sleep well. I kept dreaming that I'm having trouble sleeping..if that isn't inception stuff then I don't know what is.

I've been meaning to write and update my blogs, finish a few pending stories, give life to some that I've been thinking of..but no! I don't even have Internet as of now..moving can be tiring. What with the packing, and shifting and the hauling and the carrying of so many things from one place to another, I've not only lost tracking time but my sanity as well. 

And then it was the massive cleaning yesterday. Gah, I've called a housekeeper to help with the windows and balcony because heaven knows I'll have a meltdown if I'm left alone with anymore work.

My entire body is aching in so many places that I'll have to do one of those contortionist body jumble to fix it.
