<br />
Life in the country has been great and I will still be living it for another couple of months. But I think now's the time to make the shift.<br />
<br />
It's been a great journey.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My friends came over and helped me and my housemate build some Ikea furniture. To be completely honest, without their help we would probably still be there.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Instead, look at our new dining table! It's extendable, with the intention of saving space, of course.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Truly, I feel loved. To be honest, it's been hard. Moving back to Melbourne, trying to embrace a new life and everything that comes with it has been terrifying, to say the least.

<div style="text-align: center;">Zest Restaurant in Port Stephens. Very good, except for the risotto. I've been disappointed 3 times in a row in various restaurants - I think I'm never ordering that dish ever again. I'm not sure if it's because I like my risotto really firm or is everyone just making congee?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Having to downsize from a 3 bedroom family home into a 2 bedroom apartment the size of what seems like a handkerchief naturally involves a lot of ruthless downsizing and purging of items that one clearly no longer needs but for some reason just can't let go of.<br />
<br />
I think I only use 20% of all the things I own regularly. Yet as I sit in front of my bookshelf, I can't let some of these books <b>go</b>. For example, what does one do with old dentistry notes? It seems silly that I should be attached to them - I don't even look at them but for some reason I just can't throw them out.<br />
<br />
I haven't looked at them in the past 2 years and I highly doubt I will be in the next 20. But somehow I just can't bring myself to get rid of them.<br />
<br />
And dentistry textbooks. And various gifts from people over the years that frankly, are just plain <i>clutter</i>. Yes, I sound very ungrateful here but really - for all future reference, Dental Girl would really prefer:<br />
<br />
- edible gifts<br />
- experience gifts<br />
- fresh flowers<br />
<br />
That way, once it's over it's gone. Although if you are so inclined to gift me a Birkin I have absolutely no objection to that sort of clutter.<br />
<br />
I know I have to be ruthless and once it's out of my house in a week's time I won't even remember I ever had it in my life.<br />
<br />
The struggle continues.<br />

Seeing there were so many new experiences to be had, I realize that my current 101 list doesn't fit them all! Mainly because a few were a tad more ambitious than what I thought I would go for in 1001 days. Anyway, I'm counting them as items and will be deciding whether to:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><ul><li style="text-align: left;">Make it 150 in 1505 days</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Start a new 101 list that will overlap the current one</li>
</ul><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway, first things first. I went parasailing!</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">It was surprisingly not as scary as I thought it would be - a very smooth and silent flight over the bay - amazing views. You don't even get wet - they let you off from the boat and you land back on the boat. Would love to do it again sometime.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLeHxn4cf8FIRZ0bmPP4ttlt5Q1c0JaYU9hKDbVzg85zkh1wr2yU0PRuJZZYFsNLy4Ai3c0qjXKq1r1re98ZUUgs722YeWcjsA54yWQxCPdL-NxWjn-xgBqhwu1skl1KBG1hy0TE1gf9s/s1600/Port+Stephens2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLeHxn4cf8FIRZ0bmPP4ttlt5Q1c0JaYU9hKDbVzg85zkh1wr2yU0PRuJZZYFsNLy4Ai3c0qjXKq1r1re98ZUUgs722YeWcjsA54yWQxCPdL-NxWjn-xgBqhwu1skl1KBG1hy0TE1gf9s/s320/Port+Stephens2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Also went on a camel ride over the sand dunes and along the beach. Very similar to horse riding, except slower. Pleasant.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL84IAMTxnO56v8HrIdqTsn4SD4iiY3cT5Hon-H5aif09zIDc2qHB2WtaT9p3DDFrVyLtzIFYdAJsli04wz_jHY2qisnOvH9RmxxxUmOtvyB7KysrNNF62_W3Owvz51bBynKMzG_Q1ANY/s1600/Port+Stephens4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="228" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL84IAMTxnO56v8HrIdqTsn4SD4iiY3cT5Hon-H5aif09zIDc2qHB2WtaT9p3DDFrVyLtzIFYdAJsli04wz_jHY2qisnOvH9RmxxxUmOtvyB7KysrNNF62_W3Owvz51bBynKMzG_Q1ANY/s320/Port+Stephens4.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Also went to a Shark and Ray center where you could put on a one size fits all (it's true - it really does fit all!) suit that keeps you bone dry while you wade waist deep in pools full of rays and sharks and feed them. Didn't take many photos because I didn't want to get my camera all fishy and wet, but it was quite enjoyable. One of the rays was about 2m wide and very friendly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The view from the top was totally worth the climb! I'm not sure why I'm working in Benalla - I should be on the coast somewhere so that this is in my backyard.</div><br />

Last but not least, we went fishing! I don't have pictures of my catch because I didn't want to touch any of my belongings when my hands were all fishy and baity. Which in hindsight now is kind of a shame. Anyway, my haul wasn't that great although I was happy to have caught anything at all. Caught 3 yellowtails, about 20-25cm long.<br />
<br />
Fishing I realize, requires a lot of skill. Half the time I wasn't even sure if it was a bite or not. Also, the sea was pretty rough - I think if I go fishing again it'll either be from the shore or on a lake. Nonetheless, an experience to remember.<br />
<br />
After that jam packed weekend of non stop activities, all very uncharacteristic of me (most of you would know that I'm usually a very sedentary sort of person who would really rather stay clean and dry) I think I have found my inner sporty person.<br />

Realize that I've been dragging the same items that I never use from house to house for the past 8 years. Some things I can't let go of because they are 'meaningful'.<br />

Meaningful shmeaningful.<br />

Sometimes I don't let go because they might be useful 'some day'.<br />

<i>Barefooted out to the water</i><br />

<i>But now there's nothing I can do</i><br />

<i><b>Chorus</b></i><br />

<i>To make my dreams come true</i><br />
<i>The force to get me through</i><br />
<i>All my life like waves upon the sand</i><br />
<i>The ocean meets dry land</i><br />
<i>My heart is in your hands</i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
<i>I know I must be crazy or superstitious</i><br />
<i>But I swear I thought that maybe you'd be here</i><br />
<i>But now I look around you're in all my senses</i><br />
<i>But it breaks my heart to see a view so clear</i><br />

<i>And there's nothing I can do</i><br />

<br />
Did you know that I learned colors by eating Froot Loops when I was young? Walked down memory lane yesterday by buying one of those 6 pack tiny boxes of cereal. Way too much sugar and very artificial - don't think I'll be eating it anytime soon again.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And finally - <b>finally</b> - after procrastinating for ages and ages and ages I have managed to put up black and white prints of Milton in my surgery. Looks good, even if I do say so myself.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
For me that means perfectly organized everything and meaningful and fulfilling relationships.<br />
<br />
The thing is, I think it's fairly simple when you're still on the road towards those goals. It's easy to clean out the closet and do a massive makeover. Easy to start a conversation and make a new friend.<br />
<br />
What's difficult is keeping that closet in perfect condition once it's organized and keeping in touch with that friend. It takes constant ongoing attention.<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Can you believe we actually had roti in Mansfield? And it was a pretty good representation of it as well! Everything was really good there and reasonably priced. Will definitely head back again when the weather gets warmer. I imagine it to be a lovely place to eat on a nice spring day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And so here I am at 50 out of 50 new restaurants! There's actually more to come so I'll continue posting and see how many places I actually go to.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

This is my cotton roll dispenser in my surgery. The cotton rolls are packed in and you open the drawer at the bottom with tweezers and take the cotton rolls out.<br />
<br />
I love it. So much so, it practically makes my day.<br />
<br />
It's the little things that make me continue on in dentistry.Dental Girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00047047096023572293noreply@blogger.com0
