what next?

Flowers outside a temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

I'm so grateful I have such fantastic people in my life! Today was full of them.

My parents accepted an offer for the house today, which means in four weeks I am out of a place to live. I'm sure this should ordinarily be a concern... but I'm so excited! Anything could happen! Finding a semi-permanent place for my things may be more of a chore, but I've no doubt it will be fine so I haven't really given it a second thought.

My lovely cousin visited this evening, so as always after our chats I am very excited about life and all the up and coming adventures! You should go and visit her blog, piece of sunshine!!!

I miss my funny traveling companions and our wacky Thailand adventures... It's strange to think an entire year has gone by since we were over there.

I love my beautiful little Jinxy Cat.

Funny signs the local 7-eleven advertise.

The day after my misadventure with the puppy dog and my motorcycle, we had a paraplegic patient who had become so after a motorcycle accident 30 years prior... I haven't been back on the bike since. I thought perhaps that was the sign i needed and that my adventures were over, but I have decided not to give up just yet. However I think I will wait until the swelling from getting my wisdom teeth removed has gone down, there will be less difficulty when putting my helmet on that way.

I came across this site while exploring the crafty areas of the web today, and i think it's fantastic! It makes me very excited about things, even if it's exploring and talking to people about the different things they are creating:

I also found this while looking for sites on budgies for a friend and it made me giggle lots, if you listen to the song it gets stuck in your head! or at least it did mine...

No more procrastination....

I found this birds egg while exploring and taking pictures in the same burnt bush I found the car in. It was my most favourite find.

Admittedly I have been at a bit of a loss the last little while. I'm up to date with everything. There is not one little thing that actually needs doing. No bills are due, or over due which would be normal, no assignments, no paperwork, no errands and organising... not even cleaning! I can't procrastinate, because there is nothing else that I should be doing! Theoretically this should be fantastic, but instead it just feels uncomfortable and I'm not doing any of the fun things I would usually want to be doing or that I'd usually do instead of doing the things that I should be doing! I'm happy to learn and get used to it though, having nothing specific that needs doing is not unpleasant.

I did venture out of the car park today on my motorcycle, and actually made it all the way home! That was a very exciting feat in itself and something I've been avoiding. Riding is far more scary then I had originally thought. Hanging over the side of a cliff on a rope or jumping out of a plane scares me a lot less. I feel bunches more confident after today though, thanks to my lovely friend who took me out and didn't give up on me even after I dropped the bike in the first few minutes!

Nine weeks until I leave for London! I haven't decided on the places I'll be visiting yet. Nothing is really organised. But I don't really want it to be... in fact I'm really not keen on the idea of having to book accommodation, transport and lock things in, it doesn't seem to leave enough leeway. But I suppose nothing is permanent.
