I have to wait til home to have a pet again now since I just took Cream to her new home. All that is left to do is cash two checks, cancel cable and phone, junk my apartment, give in my keys, pack & close my bank account. Who thought moving country would be this easy???

So after 4 years living in New York city and some of the stupidest, wildest, most fun, scariest experiences of my life, and I'm moving back home. I came to do what I set out to do: I made an amazing set of friends and got an honors degree from a top US university. I will never forget these years and they have made me ridiculously and overly strong and determined. 


But alas, I miss home. I miss Heinz spaghetti bol, I miss calling umbrellas brollies and alleyways ginnels. I miss tea whenever anything goes wrong (oh, you're dying. I'll get you a cuppa sweet tea!), and I miss just sitting in a local pub on a Sunday without tourists taking pictures nearby. So in 3 weeks time I'm moving back.


I had my cat adopted yesterday and my rat will be adopted in next week. My gas company settles up on 15th and I'm arranging cable and electric next week. I have to close my bank account, ship anything I can, pack my suitcases, give away any good furniture in my apt and trash anything bad. And then I need to fly home.


This is a large reason why I made this site: keeping in touch with NY friends beyond facebook status updates. Of course, there will be phone calls and hopefully visits both ways, but this is a nice way to tell everyone what's happening all at once.
