Lockdown 247

Lockdown Day 247 - 28 November 2020
Moving day 5:
First morning in my new home was wonderful to wake up with a vision of a neat home. It is a lot like homeopathic medicine, you first feel a worsening of symptoms before you start getting better. 

At one point I thought I had been swallowed by a box, because my mind just froze when I tried to decide where I should put the mugs and the plates. The first bad symptom was the realisation that we had nothing to boil water with while hubby was busy installing our filter and dispenser. I knew I had a kettle somewhere and frantically started opening all boxes to see if I could spot it. 

After what felt like eternity, I eventually found the kettle for the gas stove I had used 3 years ago in Nam. But then the second symptom appeared, I couldn't get it ro work!  

Finally, after contacting the previous owner, the water was boiling and we had brunch tea with Laurette's fantasmagorical carrot muffins. Even the pooch was happy with her usual rooibos. 

Funny how a cup of tea just changes perspective. Suddenly the kitchen space spoke to me and by the end of the day it was done and dusted. Late afternoon sped by with my Bestie popping in after work with warm Woolies pies and and a fabulous succulent terrarium. The perfect addition for my christmas wreath on the stoep table. 

We could tick off our first day. My housemates, you guys rock! After tackling the garage and electronics we have made very good progress and are starting to see the picture of our mind's eye the day the day we first saw this house. 

Oh Yahweh my Father You are the creator of everything, tonight we give you praise for wanting to live and walk our earthly walk with us. We give You permission to be the "control hub" of our lives. To be the steering down our river of life. 

"Truth’s shining light guides me in my choices and decisions; the revelation of your word makes my pathway clear."
Psalm 119:105
