Just one more week before our move to a bigger and better place. One more week of taking stuff over to the Good Will, one more week of leaving furniture in front of the building, and just one more week of living in our fortress made of boxes. It is insane realizing how much stuff you own when you try to pack it all up. It’s not like we’re pack rats, and we haven’t had all that much time together to accumulate, but we still have a bunch of junk. It just expands and fills whatever extra space you have.
Anyway, we start Saturday morning and it will probably take several years to complete. Then it will be a newer and bigger fortress made of boxes for a while until we actually get everything unpacked.
Oh, and don’t you worry about any of this. We are doing things in an intelligent and orderly fashion to minimize work. None of our boxes are labeled, there is some definite mixing of rooms with some pans going in the same box as the dvds and there are some books in pretty much every box so far.
As for the move itself, there is an elevator in the new place, which is great news. However, some things are not going to fit in said elevator. Mattress, box springs, couch. These things will be going up stairs to the sixth floor. Wooooo.
So there will be plenty of pictures of cussing, laying on the ground, and maybe even one of me on my knees screaming “why?!” to a gray and pitiless sky. We shall see.
Regardless, it’ll be good times and I’ll keep you posted.
