Transitioning to Melbourne permanently is an interesting ongoing process with no clear end in sight for the next 6 months. I'm heading back to Lalaland in the next few weeks to close out everything earlier than anticipated due to an amazing opportunity to ship personal things over here. It will feel much more like home here once everything arrives!
Our 3 cats Ketchua, Crookshanks and Fitzwilliam Darcy are currently starting the quarantine procedure to be allowed into Aussieland...only 5ish months to go. It's ridiculous that indoor cats who clearly don't have rabies need to go through such an extensive process; I just want my monsters out here.
Let's see, other than that, its been very satisfying unsubscribing to crap email. Regardless of how corny this sounds, waking up in the am to emails from family/friends is amazing because it makes Melbourne feel closer. Hmmm, I sadly no longer need LA restaurant deals or membership emails from the Pantages/LA Opera/Ahmanson Theatre...why or why do their seasons have to be so damn good! Seeing the lineup for both the Hollywood Bowl and Hollywood Forever Cemetery screenings for the summer is going to be somewhat painful. I was so determined to get into the HFC July 3rd screening with fireworks...(*sniff*)...and July 4th last year at the Bowl with Barry Manilow was epic.
Finally, it's almost time to start looking for a more long term apartment. We're getting a good sense of the areas within the city that we really like. Fingers crossed one works out!
