December 2009

Do you believe it's December already? Well, I don't, and yet, the year comes to an End and I am still in Israel. (Time just goes by too fast and I can't even catch my breath).


So, where do I actually stand with my move?

Concerning my house, nothing really has been done yet, other than packing. Boy did I pack and cleaned out. I surprised myself... lol ... Once I move, there will be only a few boxes, not the 350 boxes I took with me from Switzerland five years ago, when my mother passed away and I had to clean out her flat. My guess is, about 50 boxes all in all. The "good" thing is, that I won't have to schlepp any electric appliances with me. 110 Volt Baby!!! So.. I get everything new in the US. (Even though, I will be missing my fridge... but I get a cool new washer and dryer.. woohooo... Whirlpool.. here we go... )

The dogs and cats will get their own room and I can finally sleep in quiet. "Heaven on earth" I'd say.

When it comes to my Biz... well.. I have most suppliers I want, some I found by "accident" and some I knew for a long time, that I wanted to work with them. Others I am still waiting for an answer and I guess, I can only get the final answer, once I am in B'more and having a place.

So.... whats the next few steps? Simple.. first.. Ruth (my "adoptive" mom) is going to have pacemaker surgery next Sunday. Once she has recovered and the last pieces of furniture are sold (the antiques.. I am still working on selling them), we are going to renovate the house. Seriously.. nothing big.. just some paint... and some little things here and there. I do hope that sometime in January, the house will be on the market finally... and then.. only G-D knows... how long it will take to sell it. I honestly have no idea... it could go very fast.. it could take ages but the market in Yaffo is rather "hot" and people do like to buy there.. and a private house in the middle of it... well.. not too shabby... ;)

All in all, I might be on the move sooner than I hope or later than I fear... it's all a big game I guess... but the most important thing is, that I eventually will be on the move.

After visiting Berlin, I did realize, that I had enough of Israel and it honestly is time for a big change in my life. Work wise, Lifestyle wise, Health wise and Love wise. "We aren't getting any younger Missy".... so... if I do plan on meeting the man of my dreams (or as close as life can provide), I should rather "hurry" up... lol.. NOOO.. don't get me wrong.. no pressure here... lol.. I do enjoy my life as a single, but every now and then I do miss a hug from someone who actually cares.

Ah well, let the new year begin and show, what it holds for all of us, good and bad.. I am ready..

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
