I made it through the 3rd day on the Optifast diet - 11 days to go.
I'm writing down everything that I eat for future prosperity.
Today's diet...
Breakfast - Optifast shake with 50:50 water/skim milk.
Lunch - Optifast shake with 50:50 water/skim milk.
Dinner - 2 steamed dim sims, (CHEAT), bowl steamed veggies and 6 (100gms) slices Chicken Breast, 1 cup of Continental Cup a Soup Minnestroni
Mum's coming over tomorrow to help pack up my room ready for moving on Sunday.
Unfortunately I haven't heard back from the room I inspected the other day.
BLIMEY - it's a job and a half moving.
I've forgotten how rotten it is over the last 2 years of rental stability.
This will be my 4th move in 6 years - not too bad going compared to some.
I have a taker for my queen sized bed.
I'm giving it away with 3 complimentary sheet sets and 2 bedside tables.
I've spent a solid few hours moving furniture downstairs, sorting through clothes into 3 main piles; KEEP, OP SHOP & BIN.
I've been wrapping up crockery in newspaper to take to the op shop.
Went to the post office today to fill out a 'Change of address form' and pay for a month's worth of mail redirection.
I've started on a list of government institutions that I need to inform of my change of address which will probably be my mothers house.
I won't have a bed to sleep on tomorrow night as it's been taken tomorrow so I will stay at my brothers house overnight Friday night then return Saturday arvo to let my brother in law into the estate of my town house so he can help me to load up all the rest of my big furniture - most of it is going to the op shop.
I'm officially living out of pink and purple bin bags now.
I'm regretting my hoarding tendency for coffee tables and side table now - they require effort to move down the stairs and out the front door.
I had 5 big ones on my last house that I lived in prior and I still have 3 of them.
I was hard downsizing from a house with a double garage to just a big room with some storage space in the lounge room.
Now I'm downgrading again into an even smaller room with smaller cupboards and no storage space.
I started out so big, now I've been reduced to a small space.
Anyway...
I'm looking at another apartment next week.
It;s $250 a week including bills which is a bit more then I wanted to pay.
I'll have my own bathroom.
I heard about it through one of the dog park locals.
There's another rub to it apart from the high rent - there's no parking and it's on a main road.
I'll have to contact the local council to see if I'm entitled to a parking permit.
If not then I don't see what I could do with my car.
I can't sell it because I'll still need it on weekends - unless I turn into a Public Transport warrior.
But since I sleep so much and don't get up out of bed until lunchtime most days I won't be arriving to work until late and it will take an extra long time to visit my mum up in the hills.
Ahhh...I'll deal with it tomorrow.
I'll need to organise a steam cleaner for my room.
Oh yeah, my car just died on me before when I got home.
Completely dead - doesn't even try to turn over.
The key remote to lock it doesn't even work which makes me think it might be the battery.
Will call the RACV tomorrow.
The timing is very bad but I've already surrendered myself totally to the situation at hand.
Moving Sunday.
Car dies Thursday.
Surgery 11 days later.
No big deal...
Who's stressing?
Who cares?
Not me - I'm in the Optifast ketosis stage now baby.
I have a metallic strange taste in my mouth.
Well, I better sign off now.
It's approaching midnight and I need my 12 hours of sleep.
See you on the other side.
