13 days left - continued

so.. ontop of all of the mass craziness going on at the moment, we've failed to get ahold of our friend who had promised to fix the wall at home, so.. me and S have been moonlighting as construction workers. :)

had my doubts when we started out last night, but.. as it turns out we actually make a good team, and the wall came out better than i had even dared to imagine.. and tonight i am making a small hack for one of the flat surfaces, we shall see if it works out well.

picked out primer for the drywall, an ugly white matte wall color for the hallway, and some trim for the sides. keep fingers crossed that this works out well, even if we've got to spackle the hell out of the seam between the 2 pieces i intend to use to fuse the chewed flat surface together... :)

c - being creative

13 days left

and the wall that scooby has chewed thru in our old apartment is almost fixed, just lacking a layer of paint and the new wood trims.
saw "Ironman" last night - highly entertaining! Highly recommended!

gas/electricity/internet and tv has been switched off, and i am making my way thru the looong list of last minute stuff to do.. 13 days left, shouldn't be a problem. :)

Had the pleasure to yap for a few with B last night, and we've at least decided to not live too close to the base, as they've got jets/airplanes taking off almost back to back.. yuuuck.


can't wait to leave.

15 days left

and i am in a funky mood today.
the apartment here in CA has been completely emptied over the weekend, and me and the pooches now stay with a couple of friends for the coming 2 weeks.

it feels a bit melancholy to be leaving Cali. Feels strange to empty out our home of the past 5 years, to look thru drawers and closets to make sure the movers didn't forget anything, to wipe down the windows and spackle over holes in the walls. feels strange to look at the empty floors and imagine where we had our furniture, and to wonder what the future will hold.

This has been a place where we've lived, loved, fought, slept, cooked, had friends over, where the walls and closets have been bursting with our combined crap, where my soul has felt safe, where our crazy life in LA has taken place.

This has been 'home' for the past 5 years, by far the longest I've stayed in one place since I moved to the States.

the LA chapter in our lives is coming to an end, and today I am sad.

16 days left..

and it's hotter than h*ll here in Cali... almost as warm as in Crete. :)

went down to the beach in Santa Monica for an hour earlier today, to try to shock my blue/white skin into acquiring some kind of color before I leave here, and now i am hiding infront of my computer monitor at work.

2 weeks left at work, 2 weeks and 2 days left. can't wait.
