Yeah I'm quite proud of myself @Bow . Its been a huge job, but I set myself the task to get through it all by 3 weeks, and I got there. I had everything I had in the small unit I was living in for the past 11 months, which was everything I use on a daily basis essentially. That was relatively easy. But then I had roughly 2/5th of my stuff still in a storage container, and that had to be combined with the rest. Heaps of boxes, but also numerous large furniture items, such as an extra bedroom worth of furniture and a loungeroom worth of stuff, plus bookshelves etc. I am back to having 3 bedrooms, plus study again. Room for family, grandkids, etc when they come and visit.
Limited garden, mostly lawn, but scope to add to the garden if I choose. But what is there, is easy care and low maintenance. Yes several quiet spots in the yard where I can sit outside. An alfresco off the living room which gets morning sun. Then there is another North facing covered area which gets nice sun most of the day if I choose to seek it out. That's where I am now.
And I have doggy doors! Two of them, one out onto each of the outdoor areas I mentioned above. The door fits a small to medium sized dog. I saw my psych on Thursday, and she is going to help me find a new puppy. She breeds dogs herself and knows other breeders who may have some puppies coming up soon. My psych only has larger sized litters coming up for the rest of this year.
