Having my routines messed up by moving and changing my work hours meant I didn't do washing when I should have and almost ran out of clothes. It's also been terrible drying weather, but I fortunately have an undercover area I can set up my clothes horse so I finally have clean and dry clothes tooday. Except for one t-shirt which got blown onto the ground and rained on.

I'm going to do my main cleaning day before my first night shift each week, which meant I got to come home to nice fresh sheets on the bed this morning. Athough I'm probably too exhausted at that point to really appreciate it.

After ditching my planned trip back to Melbourne last week I really have to go this week. Hopefully I can fit pretty much everything else I need into the back of the van (which will include the lawnmower which is really needed up here with the way the grass has been grrowing) but I'll also need one more trip in a couple of weeks to organise rubbish collection for a bunch of stuff I'm getting rid of. I'm looking forward to not having to keep doing that drive, or at least not on my own time - there will be regular trips back on work time which are a very different thing to losing your own days off.
