Finally … !
Our current home is filled with boxes that have this kind of text on them:
I think you can already understand what that means.. packing……packing and packing!!
Making everything ready to move out current appartment and move to our dream house..
See earlier posts to find out how the house looks like! 🙂
Today also a date is set.. Only 19 days before we will receive the keys!
Hurray!! 🙂
Arthur and I have visited a lot houses in Belgium in the area of Turnhout… Finally, we found our dreamhouse ! 🙂
Here are is a picture to share how it looks like on the outside!
We’re really happy we bought it and even though we have to move to another country, it won’t be that far from where we currently live; about 40 minutes driving by car.
The financial things are for 90% already arranged, only thing we still need to do is setting a date… 🙂
The idea is to do it somewhere in October, most probably at the end of October..
I will keep you posted if there’s more news! 🙂
It’s been almost 2 weeks now that Miro’s gone and I still miss him.. There’s no day that passes when Im looking at where his cage was.. it’s not only an empty space on the cupboard but he also left an empty space in my heart..
Let’s go back to the week before, after the day that I found him with such a big lump at his neck.. It made me really worried, especially since his age. So I went to the vet with him on Friday. The vet told me that I would have to cherish every moment when he’d be there and prepare for the worst.. It made me very sad, knowing that the end really was coming closer for Miro..
So from then on, every evening, Miro and me watched TV together. The more days passed, the more Miro slept while watching TV. But I feel he enjoyed every moment together. When he was still very young, I had made him a blanket out of fleece material. He always liked to have it as his hole where he could hide and sleep!
On those days when we had been watching TV together, when I put him back into his hole, he was waiting until I would close his hole again with the blanket. It was cute to see but on the other hand it also made me realise how bad he must have felt himself..
One day, I was checking on the lump, to see if it had become bigger, and Miro let me know with a very tiny not hurtful bite that he didn’t like me touching the lump. So I left it alone from then on..
More and more days passed and on Friday evening, exact one week after I had discovered the lump, I went to a concert. In the evening I asked Arthur to check on Miro as I was really worried. I was very reliefed when Arthur messaged me back to let me know everything was fine with Miro..
On Saturday, the next day, in the morning I checked to see how Miro was doing. (As I always did ever since we went to the vet) The check was rather easy.. Lift the blanket a little, just so that I could see him, and then when I could see him breathe, I was happy and closed the blanket again. Only on Saturday, I also checked, and he didn’t move.. Miro was still a little warm.. my biggest fear & worry came true.. Miro had made his way to the rainbow bridge.. 🙁
It really made me sad, to see him leave like this.. however I’m thankful for every extra day he tried to stay with us and for all the love and attention he gave to us..
After all, Miro became 2 years, 9 months, 1 week and 4 days..
So he was very very old…needless to say that I miss him very much….
~To my dearest Miro;
Take good care of yourself and hopefully we’ll meet again one day at the rainbow bridge ~
Earlier today, my dear hammie Miro got up.. Happy and enthousiast as always he ran around in his cage.. Yesterday we celebrated his 2 years and 8 months.. It’s always so great to see him everyday and when he is sitting besides me, he’s so sweet..
Only today, I found something that somewhat worries me.. Im not sure if it’s serious or not, but when I look at his age.. I’m afraid there will be one day when he won’t wake up anymore for me… Then he will sleep and wait for me at the rainbow bridge..
Every day that Miro stays longer with me, makes that Im very thankfull and makes me smile..
Finally, a light!
First of all, thank you Moonwoolf for the reactions. They did cheer me up!
Secondly, I finally decided on a Sarah Day! Just a complete day, only for me, just a little selfish me day.
What I will do? I decided it would be good to take a closer look to my closet and the way I’m dressed. Since this is part of me feeling unhappy from time to time, I booked a day at a consultant who helps you with which colours and which style is making you look better, without actually changing anything to your body, but just by changing the clothes or wearing clothes differently.
At first, I was a little sceptic, not knowing if investing in that rather small expensive gift for myself would be the thing that would make me happy but after talking to the lady who does the analysis and gives the advises, I’m in. Quite a lot of time I had the feeling she understand what I mean and that she can teach me what I should and should not do. Awesome!
I hope she can somehow learn me to touch that button to let me feel proud and happy of myself. Or as I sometimes feel when I came back from the hairdresser: just on a little cloud, my very own cloud, just being proud about myself!
Let’s wait and see if that can happen, but I somehow have the feeling that it will be possible.
Februari 28th will be my own day.
I know it’s not a day widely accepted, but that day, will this year be my very own Sarah Day! 🙂
Now I will head to the postcards, lettersets, pen and envelopes to write postcards and letters….
