Another move on the Horizon

I have been missing a bit lately, because I have been agonising over another move I have been forced to make.

This morning I was lurking round the blogs and I found this wonderful button and saying on Judy's Fabrications Blog which came from Paisley Cat Designs  where there are some wondrous things to see.

The words on the button  which I have added to my blog, had a big effect on me.....and I believe that these words have ended all the emotional turmoil I have gone through of whether the new unit I have chosen was going to be the right one.

Now I know I need not worry because it is up to me to bloom, and make it my own.  This time I have taken a 12 month lease, so hope the new owners will allow me a long time stay.

Just after I returned home from having surgery for my pacemaker I was given 2 months notice to vacate, without any thought to my circumstances, whether I would be able  to pack etc., or the costs to me of another move so soon.  The only things they have agreed to is that I don't have to have the carpets cleaned, and can leave under the 2 months without penalty....big deal!! It is in the same condition it was when I moved in!!!!  No one has been here to walk on it.                               

The move came about because  the husband of the owners is ill and has for some reason has been transferred to Toowoomba hospital so they want my unit for themselves for the 12 months he is requiring to be there.  From what I can gather they live in Brisbane, so I have not been able to understand the circumstances of being in hospital here and have not been told.

So once again my treasure of a friend came to the fore, and ferried me round looking at places to rent....an exhausting and complicated process in itself. ...and once again cannot believe some of the disgusting places that are offered.

However!!!! ta da! we did find a unit.  It is much more modern and bigger than this one, except for the kitchen which is compact, and has 2+ bedrooms, and plenty of space. It is situated in a security gated block,of units so close to the shopping centre that I will be able to walk when the mood takes me, and is much more convenient, and worth the extra $15 a week rent.

No lawns to pay to mow, no gardens to weed, no driveways to sweep...just enjoy the landscaping and the azaleas outside my door.  Behind my unit over the fence is a park, so there will be nice breezes in summer.

The best part is the + room off the main bedroom which will make a wonderful sewing room.  It has a sunny aspect, and will be perfect for Di and I to while away the hours sewing and talking.

All through this process I have been utterly devastated, and doing a lot of crying, and woe is me -ing, then this morning I discovered the button  on Judy's blog...thank you Judy and thank you Cat Russell.  It is still occupied, so could not take photos, but there will be some as soon as we can take them.

This is a photo of the outside of the unit taken from the brochure. My entrance is to the left of the garage door in the centre, and I am next to a townhouse.
