Perplexed, But Not Without Hope

Started packing a few things today.
Feels a bit weird – I could probably look back in this blog some months ago and see the same words – but it’s time to start again.
We have some questions as to why we have to move on…this place feels right to me, and we haven’t had enough time to recover financially from the last move, but I’m starting to feel a little excited about what might come next. We applied for a place today, although we haven’t yet seen it. The race for rentals right now is such that the agents want everyone to apply first so they can weed out those who aren’t eligible before the house is shown. We’re looking at a substantial rise in rent with every place we’re looking at (we have another viewing in two week’s time) but we should still be able to cover it. All the places we’ve asked about will have space for my Babe to set up his studio, and they’re close enough to public transport for the rest of us to get around.
I want to get good use out of the verandah here before I go, and I will miss the coloured glass all around!

These are our inside windows, at night when the hall light is on 🙂

Moving here has been good for my health, but I’ve been wondering whether spending long periods in strange light might be affecting my eyes. It will be nice to get back to good natural light.
Speaking of health…I ran out of one of my painkillers the other day, and hadn’t had a chance to get to the chemist. I’d been feeling not too bad, so thought it would be OK to skip a day while I had to wait to get the prescription filled.
Every so often I make the wrong choice.
I made it half a day (ish) before I was reminded why I take them 😆 I was also reminded that interruption of meds can mean a few days to get back on an even keel…
Anyway, we had to take Biggest Boy to an appointment, and there was a chemist near there. There was also a charity shop, and I found this little cheerful being.

😀
I’ve no idea what it’s for. It’s tiny, but there’s room for a tealight, so that’s what I’ll use it for.
I went to the Salvos across the road here this arvo, feeling a bit down about all the stuff still to do, and came across this little piece of encouragement.
