Having had a fairly crazy week which was full of doing things which are, for me, out of the ordinary, I decided I would share some of my lovely adventures. Most of which are not particularly exciting, but given that everything right now is kind of new to me, I'd like to talk about it.
As you may or may not know, over the last 2 weeks my mother has been endeavoring to sell everything in our home so that we can pack up and move 20 hours away to the lovely sunshine state. So far, we have sold a relatively decent amount, however, the mass destruction that it has caused within my house and backyard is kind of scary. I've been considering going and digging some trenches since it already resembles a war zone.
That aside, having to get rid of so many things is kind of a shock. While you see everything in your own house everyday, you never quite realise the magnitude of trying to clean it all out until you have to, and believe me, after living for 12 years in one house, there is a lot of accumulated stuff to get rid of.
So the first new thing I've done this week is pack everything inside my room into one box. It's strange having empty shelves and cupboards in my bedroom that I'm still living in for almost another month. I then packed all the clothes I own into a single suitcase, and having had to live from a suitcase for a month before, it's not that hard for me to do, but it's certainly less organised than I am accustomed to.
Second was less of a something I've never done before than it was a something I haven't done for quite a while. That was going to Cooma for lunch with Bottsy. Bottsy is basically the man I call my father, since he has basically raised me, and he has most certainly been there more often than my biological father. So for the first time in quite a while, we went to KFC, him, my mother, my younger sister and myself. It was a nice day out. Then that night we went to dinner with him and his girlfriend, who is a lovely girl and I think she is wonderful for him. We also partook in trivia at the local bowling and sports club, and almost won.
Yesterday, for the first time since I was very young, I got to see my yard without any sheds or the carport. And since I have never seen it with it's cement and no sheds it was an entirely new experience for me. It looks so strange, I'm kind of glad I'm leaving so I don't have to become accustomed to that. However, the dogs were pleased with new territory to explore. I also, for the first time ever, helped man a table at the local markets with Abbey and her mum, who then forced me to take some jewelry she had made home and I felt awful about it. But it did save me money since I managed to get my younger sister a decent Christmas present out of it.
Today, my sister and her son came down for the night, so they will be here until sometime tomorrow. Which is entertaining since my nephew is only 4 months old, and is cute and babbles a lot. It's certainly something different to be around, but it's nice. And for the first time in a while, I have enough time with nobody else in the house to play my XBox, and I have decided Red Dead Redemption is the go for the moment, and will now go and attempt to finish it.
