Moving is teh sux0r
Over the past two months I have been relocating myself and my family. I went to the new location about a month before the rest of the family. I slept on two air mattresses stacked on side-by-side cots. All in all, not a bad arrangement when it comes to Urban Camping.
I’m very happy/relieved to have the family with me now. Packing and moving the stuff was an arduous task, as usual. No matter how many times I do this, I am always amazed at the accumulation of stuff. No matter how I purge, no matter if I move into a bigger place, I can’t figure out how I am going to get everything to fit into the new place.
For example, the new place has a living room and a den, whereas the old place only had one family room. Currently the living room has the furniture, plus stacks of boxes. The library can get extensive when you homeschool. Add in that Mres. E. and myself have both been in university over the past year, and that I am working on a second Masters now, and you can imagine that about half of the boxes in that room are books.
So last night I re-arranged some of the boxes so I could arrange the furniture. Little by little we take a few boxes out and unpack them, and I think we are almost to the point that we can sit on the couch.
Now I just need to find a good deal on half a dozen bookshelves and we’ll be all set.
