This is my new room. It is still a mess. It has taken so long though. I think it is the nicest room I have ever had. So nice I felt guilty for awhile there. It’s huge. But gee it makes me happy with good good loveliness.

I saw Andrew several times last week. It almost brought a tear to my eye to see the joy in his face at seeing me. It’s led me on this thought pattern (it’s been trying to get going for awhile, but perhaps been struggling a bit to get on its feet because I thought it was a nice idea but couldn’t really believe it), that, the love one gives is never wasted.
That’s a been a source of comfort.
A restorer of hope.

So I here at the end of my 2nd night at Burwood house. Sitting amongst the mess and chaos that is my room.

Enjoying the marvellous wonder of the electric blanket. What warm feet I have.
Enjoying the greatness of free wireless. Direct to my new room.
Enjoying the stress of deciding between way too many cool rooms to have. I settled with the lovely alcove room, less noisy but not as joyously bright as the front room.
We had a 5 hour meeting today. Wow. I don’t even know how I felt after that.

This has been a pretty huge month. Sort of amazed by how quickly ones life changes. Life is looking pretty different to what it did on Tuesday, and pretty different again to what it did a month ago. But here I am. And thankful for the beginning of new things and sad for the loss of the old. I’m really going to miss everyone at Merrylands house. And that is good and normal and I’m leaving whilst things there seem really good.

Minsik is a guy from Korea who moved in a few weeks ago. He’s pretty great. But he has also provided me with the greatest story to share with people over the last month. The other day he was making a sandwich.
He began with a hamburger bun. Then spread minced garlic. He must be making garlic bread. He proceeds to spread jam. I thought at this point I need to intervene. I chuck many comments his way warning him, calling him crazy…things like that. He brushes them off and gets out the tomato, a cheese slice and fries an egg.

On return home I ask how it was. Delicious he tells me. But he can’t keep eating them because they make one fart. Our house now has the Minsik Special challenge. To try one of these beauties. garlic and jam…who would have thought!

I am moving. Again. To Burwood. In about a week. Crazy. I keep pondering how quickly life changes.
