Next!

So, everything from our first moving run is unpacked and in a place. I'm ready for the next and final round, though it may be a few days before that gets done. I don't know where I will put the rest! It is mostly tools and paint supplies/arts and crafts... Our hobby stuff. Maybe I will find a dresser or bookshelf which will open some real estate in the room... And I foresee some closet consolidation magic on the horizon. I am sure I can pack a few boxes away for three months and store them in garage.

Anyway, I am pleased with myself. We have a functional/semi decorated room in just three days. Next, I'm tackling the bathroom!

An old Barcelonean roommate of ours once said about a clean home... It's not work; it's a quality of life...

Settling In...

Our old room was semi-furnished with crappy/ugly things that I was hoping to replace. Now, I am trying to unpack... And I should have been more grateful for what I had. I am scrambling to find some goodies on Craigslist in the free section. Hopefully, I'll get lucky.

I did the math, and this is something like my 25th move ... (and that was on the underestimation of my quick count) ... in my 30 years of life. I'm a bloody pro! Anyway, I don't waste time. I can't. Feeling settled and that comfort of home... that foundation... well, it is a basic human need.

When I met Andrejs, I really understood that feeling of home... in a deeper way than I ever had beforel. So, it is very important to me to keep a good homestead no matter where that might be.

This place is much cozier. It needs a little scrubbing... but I'm good at that! A dresser and a shelf, and I'll have things in order licketty split. Then we whet to plan our next move... in about three months.

Tonight, it's good to be home.
