MY LIFE IN A BOX

I didn't even realize that time flies this quick.

Times have been really busy lately. Getting things settled with Kela, gathering stuff together, buying tickets and stuff I need there immediately, meeting people and travelling (I went to Helsinki, Ikaalinen and Pori), moving…

Yes, I have a life. And now it’s all mostly in boxes. Several but not in as any as I thought. Still in various, various boxes of different size and shape and colour. All my Moomin mugs and plates are in a green box for example. 

Reima didn't help me :'C

In the end this whole corner was full of boxes and suitcases

Surprisingly empty bookshelf

My little tent where I escaped all the packing stress in Joensuu

 And this is like only the phase one of the whole move from Finland to Japan.

Yes, there are phases needed here people. I need them and they need me so that my head stays together easily.  I’ve tried to sort things so this whole thing is easy to handle inside my head really. The first phase was relatively easy: packing my stuff at my apartment in Joensuu. Everything had to be checked, packed “properly” and cleaned. Before that I threw away so much unimportant stuff. Mostly old papers and bills, bad sketches, ugly and broken clothes etc… The usual stuff that gets discarded when you’re moving from place A to place B anyways. In fact even now this whole moving rumba from place A to place B is actually going from place A.1 to A.2 and from there to place B. This what I call the phase two, is managing stuff at my parents’ place so that I don’t leave a horrible mess here and everything else is put in a storage place to wait me. Simple but it’s actually really not. Just nerve wreckingly annoying.

Then it’s the phase three of hard stuff when I’m at my parents place. Deciding what to bring with me to Japan. Basically it means I have to fit everything and all my life into two suitcases and one shoulder bag. And a laptop bag. Sheesh. Shoes, clothes and the basic things. It’s a good thing I don’t own a lot of clothes in the first place; otherwise this would be even harder to do.

 I’ve been searching info about the weather in Japan and how it’s going to be later. Now it seems that on next week’s Tuesday it’s going to be at least +25 Celsius. And moist like what. NOT COOL. Like literally. I’m really not a fan of warm weather and this is just great. It’s like summer all over again when it’s autumn here in Finland…

But that’s that for now. Until next time and that’s going to be before Tuesday, the 5th.
