After 2 months apart, Rhys picked me up. Even though we are used to the long distance thing it is always quite painful when we're apart and exciting to see each other again. He drove us to our new house. It is completely new, never been lived in with a white canvas and a backyard! At the moment it is quite plain, undecorated, non-matching and cold but I guess it just needs a woman's touch to turn it from a house in to a home :).
However, after going through the family room and making my way to the master bedroom, I saw it! I imagined a heavenly musical sound like "aaaa"! The WALK-IN-CLOSET! Suddenly I forgot how exhausted I was and got really excited about unpacking my suitcase that I've dragged around for 3 months! I was committed! I was going to stay awake fixing the whole day.
However, after fixing the bedroom and the beautiful walk-in-closet, I realized that the rest of the house was way more than a one-day job, especially a jetlag-day job!
After a lunch on the beach in the gorgeous Adelaide spring weather, about 20 degrees with the sun shining, Rhys left me by myself and went off to training. This is when it was difficult to resist the new bed taking up the majority of the room. I had to crawl in and try it out. This is usually a big jetlag no-no. I passed out for 3 hours! Good news, the bed works well. When I woke up at 6 pm, it was pitch black outside! Not used to the early darkness just yet but luckily it will improve. To try and keep myself awake and get my body moving a bit after the 30 hour trip, I went out for a walk around the area. Not too much to tell just yet, just a normal suburban area with lots of the traditional Australian one-story houses.
A bit of TV watching before bed, where I found my new Australian show, The X-factor, at least until I find something better to do with my weekday nights. I then slept the whole night, from 11 pm till 6 am. Perfect hours! Jetlag can kiss my ass!
