My stuff is here and now what? Now i must unbox, make room for and arrange everything. i know, most military folks allow the movers to unbox and set up, but I have to do it myself. it is a process of getting everything just right - I mean I have to live with it!!
Yesterday, was about clearing some space an unboxing the dining room and kitchen - and attempting to put some semblance of a living room into place.
So far not so bad. However, the more I unpack the more there seems to be to do!! Yikes!! And where the hell is the closet space?? I, for the life of me, have no idea where all my shoes and clothes are going to go!! I have 3 wardrobe boxes of coats and at last count 28 boxes of clothes. I know that seems like a lot, but I keep everything until I am forced to part with it! Plus, my weight is always up and down so my clothes range in sizes from skinny to big fat. So it is not that many clothes at each given size.
Shoes - wow! I love tennis shoes and cannot own enough of them and refuse to toss them until they are shabby and torn. I rationalize that the old ones can be yard shoes, but eventually they have to go.
Funny thing is - I purged about half of my clothes about a year ago!!
Now, I need to pack away all coats, sweaters, scarves, gloves, woolly things and anything that is snow or extreme cold related. It will be a very long time until I need those things again! To be honest, I am really going to miss the snow! I loved it and cannot wait to return to some snow covered place in the future!
Oh well, gotta make a plan and get to making this dump a home!
