So we’re moving out today.
I think I’ve been in denial that we were actually leaving and moving to Siena. I feel so comfortable in Sydney in general and in Paddington in particular that it’s pretty hard to leave it all behind.
I know that’s exactly why Mandi wants to leave - to force us to break out of our routine and I get that, but part of me would be very happy keeping the routine indefinitely.
I’ve been through a lot since settling in this neighbourhood after leaving San Francisco in 2003. I reaching the pinnacle of my first career, ended it, started a new one, ended that and got married and had three kids along the way. It’s been a busy fifteen years!
So now we start the next phase, and it feels like the least predictable stage of my life since leaving high school in 1993. I’m trying to see that as a good thing.
