The Night Before Settlement

The Night Before Settlement...

And all through the house...

Not one sound, 

Not even the mouse. 

Although it is very strange for the street to be so quiet, Crystel said. 

Don't worry! Alex sighed. Something will happen. 

All of a sudden, a loud screechy squeal from a lone cat outside, hopefully not one of ours. 

The dogs in the boarding kennels, the baby asleep. 

Everything feels too good, too easy. 

My stomach is in knots. 

Tomorrow the settlement date, in the arvo, keys in hand. 

Such a nerve wracking experience. 

Hopefully the bank draws down the money and the cash contribution goes in smoothly. 

No hiccups. 

A fixed fee price hopefully from the lawyers. 

We'll see what the situation is tomorrow. 

If it's more than $5k we're probably going to have a problem. 

Let's hope it will be okay. 

Still to do: 
Change address
Check wifi is installed at new whare
Clean house
Move
Get keys
Sleep in this house for the last time ever. 
Get excited about tomorrow! 

We've worked so hard for this ♥️ 

One more night!

Continuing to break the poverty mindset

Whuuuu.  I'm still processing the latest thought patterns.  We're going to an Open Home on Sunday. 52 Buchanan. Beautiful big house.

That thought is holding me back.  I find it hard to see myself in a fancy, flashy, new house.  I prefer to see myself in a villa.  Part of that could be conditioning while growing up. Maybe it's to do with my preconceived notions and ideas about wealth.  Maybe I still have more work to do.  At present - my list of house options:  52 Buchanan Street Ōpōtiki * 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms * newer house * Not much section * Pizza oven * Big garage * Big white gates * Open plan living and kitchen 32 Potts Ave * 2 bedrooms, 2 toilets, 1 shower over bath * Co...

Sandy NanoWriMo 2014

Update: Quite a bit longer now...  #NaNoWriMo2014 She woke up just like any other day, with her alarm playing on her phone and her arm sprawled across her face. Her face covered from the overwhelming light that drifted through the non-existent curtains and onto her bedroom walls. She had been clever enough a year ago to begin mapping out the sun's cycle as it passed her little apartment and knew without even looking at her phone that she had overslept. Sandy Jenkins was no ordinary person. But she felt overly ordinary every single day. The problem was, she hadn't quite figured out her purpose in life, nor had she found the suitable (insert worm mating phrase here).  Unfortunately, Sandy had a couple afflictions. The first was that she was stuck in a job that she didn't particularly like. She had a range of talents yet none of these had anything to do with her current 'career pathway' or so her parents continued to call it. They said it was a stepping stone to a much...
