How the hell is everyone?
It's been I dunno how long since my last blog. As much as I didn't want to break my 7 day streak my life is consumed by The Move, this ridiculous heat wave and cleaning, lots and lots of cleaning.
Our new house was cleaned before we moved but there's this funky smell coming from the kitchen area that reminds me of dog piss, so I've been neck deep in bicarbonate and vinegar in an attempt to neutralize the odor.
Clean, and clean, and re-clean.
To say my hands are raw is a total understatement. It's actually hard to type right now.
On the plus side
The old house is 99% clean, I just need to go back in a few days to see of the bleach did the trick. We also need to empty the shed out and get a gardener to tidy the yard.
Fluffy" seems to be handling the move alright and I have 2 more rooms left to sort out.
(The sad sad state of my new office.)
Hubby wants to share my office, thus two shelves. As you can see it's tight in there. We do have a spare room but I'm thinking we turn that into his office, and have a sofa bed in on of the rooms for when people stay over.
It's all too much.
The whole weekend was just hectic and stressful that I rolled myself up a ciggie. First ciggie in 6 months.
Do I feel horrible? Sort of?
I quit before I can quit again. Once this move is finally done (our official vacate date is Jan 29) I'll get off the ciggies again.
I think it's time for a Nanna nap.
What did I miss? Fill me in in the comments?

Moving is never fun, soon you will be able to rest and enjoy your new place. It also a good chance to declutter. Nice cat pic.

Thanks @cryptoandzen. Yep it was perfect timing for decluttering especially as we approach the eclipse.

I sympathise with you - moving is one of the worst scenarios in life. I remember the company I was working for made us move 5 times in 12 months - Darwin to Adelaide to Perth to Kalgoorlie (2 different houses in Perth) - it nearly brought me completely undone.
Hang in there, you'll be fine but get off those durries - if you have to roll something, don't put tobacco in it!

5 times in 12 months!! I'd have gone nuts! Lol The plus of rolling my own smokes is I can make it as light as I want, but yeh I hear ya bro lol

At least the company paid for the removalists.
Yeah, I used to smoke rollies about 15 years ago - sometimes when I see somebody smokin one I still stand next to them to get a bit of a whiff...HaHa.

I think the brand of tobacco that I liked rolling was Port Royal.... pretty sure that was the name of it.
Got to a point where I could roll one up while driving without even thinking about it!
Like an "autopilot".... "autorollie"...

rofl @plumey, I've done that too.
@jackmiller I've heard of port royal! I'm on the Winfield golds lol Hubby can do the one handed roll while driving. I can't do the one handers. I need to sit down and get it all perfectly lined up with the right amount of tobacco lol

Yeah - the Port Royal actually had a Port flavour and aroma.
There was also one called Bank - the aroma was nice and strong - you always knew if somebody was smoking it nearby.
I ended up using a Rollie Machine so I could put filters in them cause I thought it would be better for my health.....Lol.
These days, I reckon "Pot Royal" is probably the healthiest option!!!

Moving is always stressful especially for us women because we do most of the work. Men bring furniture to the house and their work is done. The holiday will come quickly, enjoy every minute, you deserve it.

Oh hun, I hope things settle down soon. As for the smell in the kitchen, if the vinegar didn’t do the trick, put some vanilla pods in the oven for half an hour or so and then leave the door open. The smell is glorious.
Good luck💜💜

grow some organic tobacco its a herb actually those silly companies make it bad by treating it with poison and adding poison directly in the cigrattes. its like u know i make a a pot of tea with poison in it and expecting those 2 consume it not 2 get sick that fucking drink it lol.

I just quit smoking on the first of january so I feel you there. Been wanting to light one up myself because of stress but I am holding up. I know the stress of moving, as I've been moving every two years lately. I'm coming on my two year mark in this place too... it's a trailer in a trailer park... that is pending being shut down by the city... so guess what....
Another move is inevitable for me
Sigh.
I hope I can avoid picking up the habbit again, though.
Good luck and congrats on the move. I do always enjoy finally settling into a new place.

If you can then try to just scale down your smoking, without going completely cold turkey. What helped me to quit was googling:"Does smoking cause panic attacks". That should be more than enough to help you quit. If you are only smoking a few cigarettes a day and this is keeping you from doing illegal drugs, then I would suggest stick to smoking. It is a better ot two evils. Just remember that the feeling to want to smoke will never go away even when your cravings go away. There are two medications that you can ask your doctor about that are quite good at helping you quit smoking: Zyban and Champax. (Just google for them).
