A few things i have learnt about myself so far:
1. I'm a bit of a clean freak.... but i am not completely anal! =)
2. I'm am even more organised than i used to be. Especially with dinner prep! (I used to eat quite a bit of Hemorrhoids cooking, not anymore)
3. As there are not a lot of 'extra foods' lying around my kitchen, i am not snacking on much extra food.
OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND!
4. I LOVE candlelight.
5. I still can't sit still.... for more than 10 minutes... I don't think that'll ever change... I get bored doing nothing.
So it has taken me until thursday to get EVERYTHING moved in and put into place. I have re-arranged my kitchen cupboard 3 times already lol. And for that reason, my training got put on hold this week because i was 1. exhausted 2. no time. I really despise using "no time" as an excuse for not gymming, but there were things that just had to get done. I also had to keep racing to the shops to buy bits and pieces that i NEEDED! I don't feel guilty either for righting this week off, i did quite of lot of intermittent exercise with the hours of lifting, cleaning, un-packing and building furniture. But i did get in 2 ultra grueling bodyslam classes and a 1hour walk around my new 'burb' this morning. And can i say OMG, the
On a final note, i went out to dinner with Hemorrhoid on friday night. We went to this awesome Japanese restaurant in Sunnybank Hills. And i have to say she was very pleasant to be around. WTF?! You read correct..... Maybe the distance is what needed to happen. She's also insisted that she cooks me up a chilli prawn stir-fry (one of my favs) that i can 'takeaway' for dinner tonight! (my pad is 3.6km away).
Well 2010 has definitely been the year for change, so i can't wait to see what else this year has to offer!
my relationship with my mom improved when i moved out of her house a few years ago as well. sometimes living with someone can make you crazy, but when you aren't living together you can enjoy eachothers company.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome on all counts, Chelle! I know how hard relationships with parents can be sometimes so I hope that things really improve now you've moved out. I just hope that I don't drive my own kids mad in the future. :)
