Well when last I wrote (2 days ago) I was stressing about what to do with the car, what to do with the house, and so on......
Tried to give my car to a friend, as I really wanted her to be looked after, but he said no. So, put her on the internet (all sparkly and clean) and the next day she was sold and off to a new home. The couple that bought her were really lovely. They told me they will take good care of her - even said I could email to see how she is doing!! I think, perhaps, they saw a little tear in my eye.
Spent the whole weekend clearing understair cupboards and the outside toilet. Top tip for you - don't cram all your junk in places like this 'cos one day you're gonna have to clear it all out (and I mean ALL!).
So feeling I had achieved a lot, I was able to have a good, long soak in a very bubbly bath, with candles and wine - ahhh some things I really will miss. Relaxed, I was back to Docs for another blood pressure test today (it was high last week - I did tell him I thought it was stress). Anyway today it was back within normal limits. So back home to the next round of phone calls and letter writing and stuff.
Still wondering about the house and what will happen if I go away without renting it. Which estate agents do I leave the keys with, what about insurance if it's empty, etc, etc.... Phone rings, someone coming to view in 5 minutes - who knew I could cram things back in cupboards so quickly! 10 minutes after the viewing get a call for more info; 5 minutes after that get asked if I am prepared to move out of my house early. The couple want to move in this Friday. Ooooh my god!!!! An hour of thinking can I move by Friday? No way! I suppose I could.... No I'll be homeless; but the house would be rented; but I haven't finished packing the house and have not even started thinking about packing stuff to go away with. But the house would be rented. Good old Lyn to the rescue - what am I going to do in Nepal without my good friends and sounding boards? Soooooo.............................
I SAID YES!!!! OH ****!!!!!! (Sure you can fill in the gaps). So now it's get everything done ASAP and wait to find out if I will be homeless this weekend. If I wasn't crazy already, I think this process might well turn me that way.
P.S. Bet my blood pressure is up again!

Dear Debs,
ReplyDeleteIt is a relieve to notice that finally all the stuff with selling the car, renting house is done, isn't it? I still didn't sell my car but I just decided not to bother anymore...
Enjoy last days and I am looking forward to hear from your arrival in Nepal.
Take care,
Cristina
Hi Debs,
ReplyDeleteGreetings from Kenya. We arrived here last Friday nite and are currently on a week of In country Training. It will all come together for you dont worry!!! There are 16 of us for training and we are staying in a nice hotel in Nairobi so we are spoiled at the moment as we are being told that the food is good here by other serving volunteers who are with us for the week so we are being fed like we were in Harbourne Hall!!!We are meeting our employers tomorrow for the first time which will be interesting and will find out where we are living by next Saturday. Good luck
