I am at planner. I mean it, I plan so much that I had bought all the items needed before moving in to a new home. Piles of boxes are stacked on top of one another in a maze and they have been sealed and wrapped way before I got the moving date. I am a die hard planner anxious person.
I want to move in without anything missing from the new home. I had even resorted to creating an online grocery list of dry goods to order once the apartment is ready, I could just ship it in directly and unpack my kitchen utensils and start cooking on day one.
Yea I am crazy. Pretty much. This is now I had structured my life and my novels to the tiny details. I bought exactly three soap holders and one double soap holder as I had ordered 30 bars olive soaps online which I had predicted would be a year supply. I am getting rid of hand soap and relying on bar soap, and eventually replacing my bath shower gel with natural bar soap to conserve wastage of the earths resources and go green.
I had sourced packets of spices to be dumped into tiny ikea bottles, bought a range of Method products for house cleaning purposes and even arranged for a cleaner to come in weekly even before the house is ready.
I never developed such extreme planning habits till I enrolled in a masters degree program in Melbourne. On top of going to lectures, writing essays and running an online business, I had to restock on groceries and cook three meals a day. I had never pushed myself so hard in my life till that point and I crashed by quitting graduate school. Best decision ever.
Still have not used my degree to apply for jobs till today. What more would I need an extra graduate degree for?
I regret slightly on not completing my certification but it was quickly made up by my other extreme travel pursuits such as driving long distances in foreign places.
I drove the great ocean road over five days. It was the most amazing trip ever on a ford falcon. The breeze in my hair, down winding roads to the middle of no where. That sparked my inspiration on Mary’s scene on riding a bike in the countryside with Max.
Then I went to Las Vegas, rented a car and drove to Los Angeles. The journey took six hours through the dessert and I felt my eyes were gonna pop out as my hands went numb towards the dead of the night. Fortunately I found the motel with the help of a gps and it was all good.
I love random travel andrealine like that. The next was climbing up a fortress in Corfu. That was unforgettable. Watching a different theatre show every night in London for seven days. Visiting 10 independent book stores. Those are the crazy insane side trips I do while on vacation.
Now, my extreme persuit is to get my house ready and complete this milestone before my next adventure.
