http://lisarutland.com England or bust! Tag along while I blog about generating enough money online to quit my job and travel to Europe Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:51:41 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I'm feeling somewhat overwhelmed by what's happening. I love that we have our home, but I'm concerned about how we're actually going to pay for it. I love that our home needs landscaping, but I'm daunted by the sheer scale of the task ahead of us. I love that I'm taking the time ... http://lisarutland.com/2010/03/09/day-129-so-now-what/ I've been feeling really antsy of late, which is a made up word that basically means out-of-sorts. I'm bored. I'm bored with doing the same thing over and over again. Its time for me to change my life, which is ironic because I thought that was what I've been doing all this ... http://lisarutland.com/2010/03/09/day-128-a-new-start/ Over the last 10 days, and lets be honest, probably two weeks prior to that, I've done nothing business related except write in this blog. And as I'm not actually promoting this blog or using it in any way to generate traffic that's all pretty much a waste of time. I ... http://lisarutland.com/2010/03/09/day-127-so-what-sort-of-business-are-you-in/ It turns out the process of moving was a lot more involved than I might have thought. My plan was move the day the house settled (Friday) finishing off the day after (Saturday) and then unpacking next day (Sunday) before starting the week off fresh and new and able to get ... http://lisarutland.com/2010/03/09/day-117-126-moving/ Just when I think things might finally be settling down into some sort of routine another shock comes along. My partner is moving to night shift. Basically our routines will be so different that in effect we will not see each other at all during the week. And he didn't even think about ... http://lisarutland.com/2010/02/23/day-115-life-just-keeps-on-going/ Everything is all packed up. My PC is on a coffee table in what used to be my office and is now my lounge. There is stuff from one end of the house to the other. I can't wait for this week to be over. http://lisarutland.com/2010/02/23/day-114-stuck/ We spent the day looking at furniture. I feel really guilty about not doing some actual cleaning or packing, but as my partner says, we spent time together visualizing and that's important as well. Plus ... an opportunity to relax and unwind. Still, by the end of the day I felt quite keyed ... http://lisarutland.com/2010/02/21/day-113-furniture-shopping-self-doubt/ I spent much of the day tidying up the garden of our rental property. We also did a final inspection of the house. Oh, my gosh, this is really happening. I'm a homeowner. Wow. http://lisarutland.com/2010/02/21/day-112-things-are-happening/ We are moving house in one week today. Thank God for that. Buying a house takes a whole lot longer than finding a place to rent. You would think that would make it less stressful but all it does is draw out the anxiety. Please let it be over quickly. http://lisarutland.com/2010/02/21/day-111-getting-organised/ Its amazing how things happen in cycles. Well they do in my life anyway. About two years ago I went on holiday to Thailand. It was a life changing experience for me and kicked off a revamp of my wardrobe. I'd decided I was unhappy with the way I looked and needed ... http://lisarutland.com/2010/02/18/day-110-cycles/
