"And so it begins ..."

Though it's probably more accurate to say "The biggest thing that happens as one life stage ends is that another begins".

Over the weekend I:

• Finished moving out of the little house where I'd been living for the last 2.5 years (though this does not mean I've finished moving into the new place I'm sharing with friends, boxes still need to be unpacked)
  
• Met a chunk of loverly new people before and during a Poly get-together (Aside: I always giggle at how together is also to-get-her) Was much fun and geeking and introductions happened. Some names I remember, some I don't, some new LJ (and other places) friends/connections
  
• Went to the "I'm sorry I'm leaving auckland" (or some such) party of the loverly SwordLadyCat and nattered and et (past tense of eaten? but that doesn't seem to be how it's spelt) and didn't game (just cause I didn't feel like it)
  
• Received and read the latest Orson Scott Card book "Magic Street". It's, ..., good, but not brilliant, sorry Scott.
  
• Threw out another carload of junk and vacuumed and tidied said old place which impressed my parents cause they didn't believe I managed so much in the sort amount of time I took.
  
• Had a loverly dinner with Bro and SiL (Mmmm, Lamb shanks, Mmmmm) and discussed house valuations and money and stuff.
  
• Discovered this morning that I no longer have a mortgage (Bro having spoken to and signed stuff for the bank not 20 mins earlier) and will shortly (tomorrow) have expunged my Credit card balances and thus feel like I have money again (Yay!)
  

Now all I have to do is get back into the mind set of work cause I was a little distracted last week and new work has been landed so there's lots to do.
