Buried in Boxes.


We've been unpacking boxes for two days now, and I think I'm beginning to see some floor. Perhaps. I hate the waste of the boxes because I know in my heart that when we call the moving company to come pick up the empties, they're just load-luggering them into the dump. What an ecological waste! I feel like I'm putting some load onto my Karmic debt...

We now have an attic. This is both good and bad.

GOOD: we can now store things like suitcases and holiday decorations up and out of the way without having to cram our closets with non-clothing items.

BAD: it gives me the false sense of having fewer items than I really do have. "Oh look! We hardly have any crap at all! Look at all this room! Let's go out and buy more stuff to fill in the free space."

Not good.

Once I dig out my camera, I'll take a picture of the new digs and post it along with a comparison picture of our old digs. As the Jefferson's would say, "We're movin' on up--to the East side--to a de-lux apartment, in the sky!"

Try to look on the bright side, you have lost the psycho neighbors. Sorry for the short run haul.

LOL! You're right, Elizabeth, we have lost the psycho-Lowe's-neighbors. Thank goodness. No more leaf blowing at 9pm in the evenings or 7am on Sunday mornings. Killer.

The funny thing is that last week I met one of their NEW neighbors, and he was already all spun up about their constant blowing, mowing, and noise-making! I guess it wasn't just us, after all. HA!
