It’s been a hideously unsettling few days for my little family. We’ve moved into a temporary house for the next 4 weeks while we wait for the new one to stop being a building site.
It’s not actually a temporary home, it’s someone else’s very permanent home. Just not mine. And it’s hard to live in someone else’s home no matter how gorgeous and lovely and kind those people are.
It’s harder even to pack up everything you have and decide just what it is you’ll need for the 4 weeks you have no access to any of your stuff.
I’ll divert at this point to tell you that I’m the worlds worst packer and have never once got holiday packing right. So the fact that I packed 4 weeks of clothes for myself on a very warm day means that I have nothing to wear in the cold. Did I mention how cold it is at the moment?
I knew moving would be hard because as I revealed before, I am very bad at change. I don’t like chaos and I hate moving. What I didn’t expect was just how anxious it would make me.
On Saturday (the day we took our “stuff” to the temporary house) I became so anxious I could feel my insides unfurling. I actually needed to hug myself to keep them in. I would have asked my husband but I don’t think I was behaving in a way that warranted hugging.
This was all BEFORE I went to pick up sushi for us for lunch and the lid of the miso soup came off the container and souped up everything including my mood.

Avoidance of Accountability When teams don’t commit to a clear plan of action, http://robertrobb.com/prop-105-would-accomplish-one-big-thing/ viagra generika peer-to-peer accountability suffers greatly. It all depends and vary from one levitra canada price person to another.
To add to it all I still have lingering symptoms of flu. And diabetes.
But the very worst thing about moving was something that I never ever expected – a letter from my new temporary neighbours
This is the worst letter I could ever receive. Ever. And it may be the reason I am never leaving the house again.
If you are looking for me I will be at home hugging the dog
So yes, this week has been a blast.
Oh Lana, BIG hugs….I so feel for you…and I am already unravelling about the BIGGEST move we will ever make too….. selling in Sydney to move to Central Coast.
I “get” everything you say and I wish there was a way for you (and me!) to be whisked into our new lives (in your case, house) in an instant.
Moving SUCKS.
Denyse xx
Thanks Denyse – don’t worry about your move YET, there’s plenty of time to worry when it happens xxx
Oh Lana, feeling for you.
I know what you are going through, so this seems TINY from me. But gee, you inspire me with your strength
I get it, Lana. I recently went back to the work part-time and was so anxious about leaving the dog as I’ve worked from home since we’ve had her. Felt so bad that I went out and bought her THE best new kennel – it’s like a hotel in there, it even has it’s own door. But guilt still not assuaged, I added a swanky new mattress and warm blankets. Every time I leave she barks, barks, barks. I’m hoping she stops when she can no longer hear my car as it would drive the neighbours insane. I get it, we’re dog people xo
Maybe we should have come to stay in your kennel during this transition time – it sounds beautiful! xxxx
Oh Lana, I hope it all comes together for you. Change and moving houses is just AWFUL. Send your nice new neighbours a reply note telling them that now you’re home the dog is happy and not howling anymore, but they should be warned that you are very unhappy and will be howling all night. Love and lots of huggles to you and Henry.
You made me laugh – I AM howling a bit at night.
The neighbours were very kind and understood but I feel sadder for my dog than I do for them 🙂
Oh Lana, I had the same thing in our new apartment and it killed me. How could someone be so intolerant of my baby? At least your problem is only temporary. We have been trying to train the Princess not to growl or howl every time someone breathes in the building ever since, with little success.
PMSL. My dog growls every time someone breathes in the street. He’s very er, protective xxx
Hope things settle for your princess soon
Dogs are human too ! They know when big changes are taking place in their family environment and react accordingly.
All will be well soon. That is a given.
Thank you Bradley, clearly my dog feeds off my mood. I better get myself in order!
Also had a similar problem and ended up getting our Oscar debarked after many visits from the council. Tough decision, but it meant that we could all live in harmony in a block of units. I am feeling your pain.
As long as you are all living in harmony now that is all that matters xxx
I had a fugger of a week and wrote about it today and so did dozens of others…. we have all had a shitty week. I hope it gets easier soon lovely xxxxx
Big hugs for your hideous week. I had to laugh when you said you weren’t losing any weight even though you hadn’t been trying. I am constantly having that problem
Oh you poor thing. We received a letter like that once and I felt awful for both my poor dog and the fact our neighbours probably thought we were mean. Your fur baby will settle Lana. In the meantime I hope you have a better week next week x
Sorry for the late reply – hope your fur baby settled quickly xx
