that's funny, we're moving on the same day,

hah ya. a nice little coincidence there

although gf and i won't finish our move until we find a place in london in early september. this is the first time i've had to use professional movers, always just used a combination of self and parents/friends before. when i moved from the states to pakistan it was just two boxes sent via fedex and a couple of suitcases.

ya even tho i have 8 boxes so far, they'll pretty much all fit in my car. also it's small things like dog toys, books, clothes, shoes, and some computer stuff.

oh and 2 puppies. lol.

leaving the power rack. bringing the 45 deg hyper. will buy a sturdy dip/pullup station.

also bringing an orchid.

but my gf and i have managed to accumulate several substantial pieces of furniture that we want to hold onto,

ahh. ya i didn't want to move any of my existing furniture. figured i'd just leave it with my dad, for when i visit etc. would rather just get some new stuff anyway.

moving furniture sucks.

a couple hundred books (how did i let that happen?! i finally bought a kindle before i moved out here specifically to avoid getting more books!), and a bunch of art. so movers it is.

hah ya. even tho kindle is efficient, actual books > kindle IMHO. they take up space but, feels good looking at a row/shelf of good books.

i have some of my aunt's art that i'm bringing, and a piece i bought a while ago. i plan on doing some of my own art in the new spot, want to get back into it.



sounds like your move is going to be pretty intense.. i mean you're moving stuff over some big distance, definitely need pros for that.

good luck man! a few days away.

After visiting the doctor to get insight into the jaundice thing, the doctor read from the diagnosis from 2009, which I had not received information about till now that I have Gilbert syndrome.

Quote

Gilbert syndrome is a relatively mild condition characterized by periods of elevated levels of a toxic substance called bilirubin in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia). Bilirubin, which has an orange-yellow tint, is produced when red blood cells are broken down. This substance is removed from the body only after it undergoes a chemical reaction in the liver, which converts the toxic form of bilirubin (unconjugated bilirubin) to a nontoxic form called conjugated bilirubin. People with Gilbert syndrome have a buildup of unconjugated bilirubin in their blood (unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia). In affected individuals, bilirubin levels fluctuate and very rarely increase to levels that cause jaundice, which is yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes.

Gilbert syndrome is usually recognized in adolescence. If people with this condition have episodes of hyperbilirubinemia, these episodes are generally mild and typically occur when the body is under stress, for instance because of dehydration, prolonged periods without food (fasting), illness, vigorous exercise, or menstruation. Some people with Gilbert syndrome also experience abdominal discomfort or tiredness.

damn weird :/

where'd you get that diagnosis? you got blood tests etc? get a second opinion eventually.

i guess from that description, try to also make sure you're hydrating properly. if you're not, start forcing yourself to drink glasses of water every few hours - or do like i do, finish two 1.5L bottles every day. makes it easy to know how much you're drinking.

pc!

packed 8 boxes worth of stuff. got 2 left. might need to get a few more tho.

can't wait

thanks man! i might have gotten lucky with this property given the location (near lots of parks etc, quiet area), distance from work, size of the home/back yard, quiet/comfortable looking community, seemingly genuine friendliness/care for their properties/tenants of the "landlords", and the rent is definitely fair.

ya i'm pretty excited. will have the lease signed by monday most likely, and move in Aug 1.. right around the corner.

going to pick up the lease on friday .. will bring james because he's getting his nails trimmed near by.. so i'll let him scope out the back yard

other than work, hoping for a good year in this new area/home, full of relaxation, running/walking - maybe even get a mountain bike lol, pool escapades, and of course fun with the pups. might even get back into some art work. want to just really detach & clear my mind.

im up too late again. dammit!

peace!
