Well, the movers got me into Robert's place, I mean OUR new place, about an hour ago. The hardest part is done. All the packing, sifting through things - it seems to get easier and easier as the days count down but of course the weekend I decide to move is one of the hottest weeks ever! I could hardly get anything done it was insane how hot this apartment got! Now, I'm looking at all of the empty space and remembering how it was about two years ago that I came upon this duplex and all of the wild times since.
I still have quite a bit to do but luckily the family that owns this place is flexible and it's not like I HAVE to be out by midnight tonight. I will have all of my belongings out though and poor little Ahab who is just looking around at all the empty space and probably wondering, "Mom, why did you let those two men take all of our things?" :) I am exhausted. Mentally, physically, emotionally, everythingally.
Exhausted doesn't BEGIN to explain how I feel right now. It will definitely be an interesting journey where this move takes me. It already has been. Getting rid of things left and right - paring down to what I really think I NEED and having complete strangers come into my home to check out my vintage danish-mod sofa or my cheap-o 26" TV from 4 years ago with the stand that I inherited from Katherine.
Well, wish me luck everyone. I can't say that I think I will NEED it - I'm very good at teamwork and making things work and the amount of patience that I have, well.....let's just say that some might (at times) call me a saint. :)
Goodbye SE 14th and Oak St, 97214! I will miss you dearly - all of the GOOD times and all of the NOT so good encounters, which there weren't many of luckily.
Hello SE 49th Ave!!!
P.S. Oh, and I forgot to mention - this morning as I was preparing some of my last boxes the most INSANE THUNDER erupted from out of nowhere. Heavy, heavy showers followed. It sounded like it was right up the street and then of course, my power went out. I came into this neighborhood dealing with power outages left and right (thanks to the transformer on the next street up) so I might as well leave Buckman with a good old power outage! What a mess!

Is that Ahab in the picture? "Cap'n Ahab is at his helm again." That cat cracks me up for some reason. :D
Anyhow, good luck!
Yes, that is Mr. Ahab at the old place on our old front balcony. I took that a few months after we moved in there but I thought it was a cute picture of him. Kind of looks like he is saying, "Goodbye."
So far so good in the new place but man, I have a LOT of crap! LOL - thanks Wendy!
