Ah, I totally knew this was going to happen… I was going to move, we’d work really hard to get through un-packing Phase One, and then everything would hit me…

new time zone
new city
new job
new friends
new walls…

that are still empty.  So Phase One- the one where all the boxes are unpacked and torn down, sitting in a nice stack in the basement- is over.  We are currently still in Phase Two- the piles!  Piles of clothes, piles of decor, piles of papers, piles of bedding, piles of randomness (batteries, flashlights, medicine, shoe polish etc).

It’s always Phase Two that slows me down.  Phase One was very unexciting, but once the necessities are unpacked, you learn to live that way until you’ve stared at blank walls long enough to make you feel you might start going crazy. 

Currently in Phase Two, with no immediate end in sight.  I’ll start posting pictures of my progress soon.
