Would you like fries with that?

The past few nights i've been trying to catch up with ole' friends, these are the very same people whom i usually see annually, be it Christmas or some random birthday celebration. But as the days are drawing closer and closer and the contents of my apartment are being grouped together in several sized boxes, the realisation that i'm actually leaving... for good... hasn't even sunk in.

Hmmm... I will bet you it will hit me the second i least expect it. But then again, it's not like i'm thaaaaat far away. Right?

Nugget and i found some empty boxes by the roadside last night, clearly they were made to be taken. It was my inner bag lady that busted out of the car and grabbed as many as i could and shoved them in her boot. Not really paying so much attention to what kind of boxes they were except that they were in good condition. Having left the MACFRIES + BEEF PATTIES boxes in the boot, Nugget was convinced the funky smell was coming from the back.

But after close examination, alls well. Lucky for me there were no left overs and the sniffer dogs aren't attracted to the scent of old potatoes and ground carcass bits.

But seriously! I've got more important things going on, like number crunching.

No thanks to my previous agency, it's taken me longer to cancel my work permit because THEY hadn't cleared my taxes even though i had thought everything was done once i resigned. But all thanks to the very kind Finance lady at my previous office, she's gone ahead and helped me clear them. Who knew that as an expat one must be in the country NO LESS than 182 days otherwise one gets taxed some obscene amount. So far i'm counting my lucky stars!

So whilst i continue to sort out loose ends, i'll just wait patiently for Friday and hope everything goes smoothly. All i need is to sort out my clothes, finish off packing, get my passport/letter of reference and an A4 piece paper from immigration that basically says, "Bon Voyage! Now You Can Fuck Off".

ooOOoooo oOOoo oooo *jumpin around like a monkey* Some exciting news to share, after a phone call this morning, my 2007 Christmas wish MAY come true after all!!! *Keeping my fingers crossed but until it's confirmed, i can't really say anything AS YET*

And if that doesn't get you excited December's forecast is looking MIGHTY fine... and also quite freaky since it even states [sourrce: Astrologyzone.com Pisces: DECEMBER 2007]

Jupiter will visit your 11th house of friends, associates, and new contacts, so the one thing you can count on in 2008 is that you will have a chance to make many new friends. You may have been working so hard this year that you didn't have the time to socialize and may not have noticed that you and some of your old friends have been drifting apart as you picked up new interests. If you recently moved to a new neighborhood, you may not have had the time to meet new people and make new friends, and you may have felt the lack of close contact. Now, all that will be redressed, and you should see results fairly soon!

And if that's not enough,

One more surprise is due - the luckiest day of the year will arrive on December 23! This day will also be the full moon in Cancer! Wow! How lucky can you get? Cancer rules your house of true love, bringing feelings to their fullest point. Dear Pisces, on this weekend, romance and friendship should sparkle brightly for you!
...

Romantically, this could be a very strong month. Venus will glide in fellow water sign Scorpio, increasing your charm and ability to freely express your deepest feelings.
WooOooh...
