Hazel’s Safe Harbour

Where I am now? What I should do now? I am still in the process of absorbing having a new place, new state and new environment. Everything is new with me now. It was like, I wanted to go back to the old state -  Kentucky where I am used to. There, I know I am not a little bit ignorant. Living in Kentucky for a year made me know something about their culture and traditions. I can possibly talk to the people if I wanted to know something or when it regards to the legalities of the state. I have acquired my driver’s license in Kentucky too. Now, I have to go through the entire process… again! I am going to have a new driver’s license – another state again! I guess I have to abide for all the laws here. I have to!

I need more time. I am contemplating everyday. Sooner or later I will be ready to explore the new neighborhood. I need to get a job too to make myself busy. Our things are still in the box and I may have to set aside some things again like blogging to keep me get going. I should stop being lazy. This time, multi-tasking is part of my everyday life. I have to be!

It has been 9 days now that I haven’t visited my WordPress.com blog. I know, I know… I owe a lot of explanation here and a little bit of blogging before I will start myself busy working to my new job effective on August 1st. It is really a big step for me as I start finding my self-worth and start over. Hey, I have been a bum for 1 year and 6 months now! That’s actually a very long period of time not working and doing nothing at all. I miss waking up early in the morning, taking a bus ride, receiving my paycheck every month, I miss doing some work, multi-tasking, the 1-hour lunch break, meeting people from work and do the talking. Most of the time, I spent my days with my husband and facing the internet – surfing, chat and blog about my thoughts. I missed it! I am looking for some fun that would make myself busy and productive at the end of the day. I want challenges, the new environment, expectations from the job and just about anything I could fine to have fun working.

I guess, I have to start earning some for a little while. Anyway, visiting 29 states was great. Those short road trips and long travels are worth it and I had so much fun. I may have to focus more about our future, financial plan and some future vacations someday. For now, let me get busy doing something in exchange of a monthly paycheck. I can’t wait for the day I will start working for my new job. For sure, it will take time again before I can go back from blogging. Sooner or later, I will find time to visit, share and write everything here.

Another Wednesday will passed in a few minutes. I didn’t even notice how time fly so fast that I couldn’t even see being productive for myself. As usual, the house is messy and boxes are everywhere. Still, I am not finish packing all our stuffs. I guess I am almost done or will be done on Friday. Mark my word! I don’t want to procrastinate all the time as we really need to keep going as we move pretty soon. I have to fix and arrange some things and some of our clothes that we will need for the weather in the time of the winter. As I count every luggages and boxes, I have 6 and 10 respectively. Not counting the plastic boxes.

What’s bad about me is, I can’t finish them all in a whole day because I tend to delay packing. I still sneaked and peeked in my personal computer to check on something. Then, there are times that I have to watch my favorite TV show then fell asleep. Oh yeah, how can I finish everything if I have a lazy butt? You see, I have given so much time just in resting. It was like, I am feeling sad moving again. I have mixed emotions now that the day we will move is fast approaching. I guess, I can’t attend the baby shower of a good friend I just met. My husband was very anxious to move. As for me, I don’t know. I still have mixed emotions in moving. Half-ready and Half-not. I will let you know pretty soon. I will write it here for sure. I will keep you posted!

Days from now, we will be moving to our new place. It will be a new beginning for me and my loving husband once again. Living 5 months from our first house and 7 months to our second house. It was all pretty short time to enjoy our nice houses for the past 12 months. I am still on the process of reminiscing the short time I have spent in our place. I know, there will always be a lot of opportunities that will come our way moving to the next place where we should be.

I guess, I have put a lot of things here and I am going to leave them behind and bring the good ones. Well, all memories are good for me and Winn. We always make sure that we are happy and enjoyed the things we should enjoy. More things to pack up and the empty boxes are waiting for me to fill them up. I still need old newspaper where I can wrap the ceramic plates, saucers and cups for extra careful handling. I will help my husband load the car and truck with the boxes and some furnitures. It is just me and him, no help from others. We will start loading the truck tomorrow, early in the morning. I will keep myself away from my computer first thing in the morning as nothing will get in our way while doing some lifting back and forth, packing all of our stuffs and cleaning the house. Hopefully, we can do everything tomorrow as we will have more time to rest, rest and get some rest!

I woke up very early this morning, I guess, The sun was just about to shine when my husband woke me up because we need to leave the house and take his grandson home. I took a bath so quick and put my clothes on. I was still feeling sleepy when I jumped up inside the car. I didn’t even take my breakfast yet nor anyone of us had one. While my husband’s driving the car, I took a quick nap. When I woke up, we are almost to his daughter’s house. I am feeling hungry when my husband asked me what do I want to eat. So, we went to McDonald’s drive-thru and get something to eat. I ordered 2 burritos and water. My husband got bacon and eggs biscuits. It was delicious! It was like, I have never eaten the same order as I used to.

While driving home, my husband and I were talking just about anything. From our dreams, future trips and happenings. We love to talk anything under the sun that would make us work and save for something that we really wanted to do. Before going home, we stopped by at the gas station and went to the convenience store where I bought my slush puppies and KrispyKreme doughnuts. When we got home, I checked my e-mails, ate the honey glazed doughnuts and watched TV. I was feeling sleepy and so I took another nap in the couch for like 3 hours. It was like, I wasn’t satisfied getting my nap when I had in the car. All I did today was sleep, eat, watch and sleep. I finally got my good sleep and well rested.

As we will be moving out pretty soon, we are packing some stuffs that we will bring with us. We are looking for some boxes and old newspapers where we can put our things for its safety. I found myself moving for the 3rd time in my entire life living here in America for a year now. You see, I couldn’t even make friends personally or never met any of our neighbors. It was like I am stuck inside the house and facing my computer 24/7. I have never had the chance to paint new colors for the walls or decorate the house either. Our second house was like a purely dwelling place where we could rest for a while, store our furnitures and appliances and be home after a long trip.

Some bags, boxes and furnitures are ready to go… Honestly, I hate moving. It takes a lot of work from packing-moving-unpacking-fixing-arranging and finally having the space and place to finally settle. My husband moved 52 times in his entire life, plus moving again to our soon-to-be new place. I don’t like moving much, I guess nobody does. It is so stressful and very tiring doing a lot of things. My husband said he moved so much in his life. I hope moving to the new place will be the best opportunity for the possibility of making money and I am going to make sure that this is the best move. I hope, I will find my own solitude and peace to our new place. For sure, it’s going to be a lot of fun as we explore another place where we should be.
