Um…the move. Still going.
Ever move in when someone else hasn’t finished moving out yet ? And when it’s
still 90 degrees and the heater / AC unit is out ? Makes for a very tiring move
! Luckily, there was an air conditioner in the master bedroom, so we had a
place to cool down and sleep, but with both our bed and Dearest Son’s, it was
pretty crowded.
We got so tired Sunday that
we didn’t quite finish – and didn’t have any place left to put stuff – that we
finished up today. Seven loads. It’ll be Wednesday at the earliest before I can
set up the Arena and debox my much-missed MH
dolls in their still-new bleachers. For now, they’ll be on a desk, but
Beloved Hubby’s promised me a shelf above, when things settle down and there’s
more unpacked boxes than still-packed ones. I’m thinking mid-November…
We found a home for the big
aquarium with a neighbor – no place for it here ! – but Dearest Son’s Betta
‘Flair’ is still with us. Ginger’s in and out, meeting the neighborhood clowder
(for some reason, they all meet on the opposite grassy yard lot, now a real
‘kitty corner’ !), and deciding where her new roost will be. She just doesn’t
know what to make of all these boxes !
The fridge we’re using is a
nice one – that hasn’t been used in a while, so I spent most of my day cleaning
it. I’m still not sure what that yellow stuff was (mustard ? A dozen exploded
eggs ?), but it was everywhere and had been on there a while. Only came off
with scouring powder and a scrub brush. Took me forever, because I’d get a
shelf and the walls beneath done, and have to rest a bit to go further. Still
haven’t done the freezer, and it has stains (chocolate ?) of its own. Wheee !
About all that’s truly
unpacked is the cold food – our dresser moves packed, so it doesn’t quite count
– and our beds. I got a busy week ahead of me !
