You know I moved from Melbourne to Brisbane 3 years ago and my “not feeling at home” has never waiver. I am still as homesick as I ever was and I know now this place is not right for me. I think you know pretty much straight away. I knew within 3 months.

I’ve moved more than most and half a dozen of those moves were to different countries.

When my family and I first moved to Korea, we were calling our hotel room home within the first two weeks.

When we moved to Guam we definitely called our “house” home within 3 days.

I guess that’s just the joy of moving around so much.

It takes a year to be settled, if you don’t get disturbed by what could have happened to the last tenants of the house. Not to mention the strange smells within the unoccupied rooms.

I think once your stuff is set up, and your furry babies are there you’ll feel more at home in your new place. And your body will follow through once you get your shampoo bottles and stuff in the shower, your toothbrush next to the sink, and your own brand of TP on the roll.

Can you paint? Maybe that might help too.

*hugs* I hope you feel settled soon hon, you deserve it!

I haven’t been whispering, but I’ve been tiptoeing!

How do you keep Jet a secret? I was thinking about doing that with one of the cats but I’m not ballsy enough.

I like when you blog too, but neither of us do it often. We should combine forces.

I’ve moved a bunch of times in my life. I can’t recall a particular amount of time it takes to feel at home.. like it’s MY home – but it’s a few months for me.. maybe around the 6 mth mark I suddenly realise I’ve been calling this new place “home”.

I know that in the first week or so I tend to whisper – as if I’m staying at someone else’s place – probably thinking everything is too good to be true and someone is going to change their mind about selling me their home.

We’ve (me Fox ‘n’ Willo) have been at our new apartment since the end of January – and I’m starting to feel like it’s home.. but also suffering from “this is too good to be true”

We didn’t have to pay a bond for the dog but mostly cos WE DIDN’T TELL THEM ABOUT THE DOG!

hehe.

I like when you blog.

Who can go the longest…

Day three for me and counting. Where’s my prize??

As for the apartment.. it’s nice! I actually like it quite a bit. Neighors are questionable (one man was maced by the police yesterday), but I keep to myself so that doesn’t matter.

Thanks for the luck. :)

Finally, some sympathy! No one else I told seems to get it, but my body refuses to function in this apartment. It’s on strike.

You’re right. Once Molly and Wally get their asses over here and we have a cuddle, I’ll probably feel right at home.

You know Darc, there is a show like that involving vomit. Grand prize is 1000 of your American dollars. Doesn’t seem worth it.
