Hello Townhouse!

We completed our move on June 3, Friday. I would love to say it sucked, but I think that would be an unhealthy way to feed into my negativity.

To be honest, I don't mind moving, under the right circumstances. I like the purging that it creates. You have to take an honest look at whether you want to move something, or whether you would pay someone else to move it. That's a powerful decision. Our movers were great and fast. Started by 9:00, done by 2:30. Two trips.

The part I don't like is unpacking, even more than packing. For us, the last two moves have been downward moves, and maybe that's all there is to it. We are living in a space that was 60% of our Alder St house (where I recovered from surgery). Just think of getting rid of 40% of your stuff. It is probably a higher number than that because the kids' stuff is increasing, meaning our stuff must decrease propotionately.

To envision this place, think hotel. Embassy suites for example. It's livable, new, everything fits. Doors latch. Plugs aren't loose. But it also charm-free. Well, it is supposed to be temporary so maybe that will be motivating. I just hope it doesn't motivate us to do something stupid.
