A Busy House Day

[penk]

I guess it’s getting closer to spring. We sornd most of today moving furniture, cleaning, rearranging stuff, etc. The house has been really crowded since M moved in and between her stuff and my old furniture we sleere just tripping over everything.

So today was “get the stuff out we don’t use”. It was a carefully choreographed process of…

• Friday get the storage unit ready to receive furniture.


• Saturday morning move everything from the attic and second floor that’s leaving out to the front porch.


• Go get the truck from Uhaul.


• Get awesome neighbors to load up the truck, follow us to the storage place and Tetris the furniture into place.


• Return the truck, tidy up, and fall into a death like sleep for 2 hours


• Get up and go to a cohousing meeting


• For evening entertainment, assemble the new kitchen table and chairs (smaller and better suited to the space).

Now we’re finally collapsing into bed after a damned busy day. But? It felt good. We worked hard, and made the house better without going crazy doing it.

Win.

Next? Tuesday we get a washer dryer. We’ve never had one in the house and while I lived by myself, it was ok taking things to the common house. But now that there’s three of us, we really need local equipment. Yay upgrades!
