Today is the day! The PODS was delivered today, and this evening, once the kids were in bed, Kwasi and I moved the sofa and chair down to the PODS container. It wasn’t very heavy, but awkward. I have decided that I will never live in a 3rd floor condo again 🙂 Or, I will hire movers. LOL Actually, I like that we’re doing it ourselves. I’m just cheap like that, I guess…..If there’s something I feel I can do myself, why not do it?
I’m not having much sentimental emotion about moving, although I’m sure if I think too deeply about it, it will be a bittersweet move. We’ve done everything in this house for the past 8 years. It’s all we’ve ever really known. This is the first place I have lived on my own (well, with Kwasi, but you know what I mean). College doesn’t count. Kwasi’s mom’s house doesn’t count. This house counted. I’m sure many people have lived many different places, but for me, this has been home. And now we’re selling and moving on. Actually, I’m quite excited about the prospects of our new home! I can’t wait to get in there and decorate. I wish that I have more time that I could take off from work. I’m thankful I’ve got a “cake” job in that it’s not very demanding and it allows me to get other stuff done (i.e. personal stuff) during work hours. But even with that, physically not being here is tough; I want to pack, clean, organize, etc. But without the time, it’s hard.
Anyhow, we’re down to the wire. Tomorrow night we’ll start moving all the stuff from the downstairs storage area into the the container. I think it will be easier to move from the storage area up a couple set of stairs rather than lugging the stuff down 3 flights.
So here’s how our house looks at this moment, tonight: chaotic!! I can’t take it! LOL I need some order. Soon…..real soon…..
Counters and breakfast bar area that just can’t seem to stay clutter free at this point…Driving me crazy!
