The big move happened last weekend. In snow and ice, 3 men and a truck moved all my junk and lugged a piano into my new home. It’s been an emotional roller coaster for the past few weeks. Nothing has been normal and it’s been difficult to stay balanced.
Thankfully it’s all done and I’m mostly unpacked. Other than a dozen boxes of books piled in the living room, everything else has found a new spot to live. It turns out I’m a book hoarder, even taking into account the boxes of books I took to Goodwill when I was going through my spring-cleaning phase a few weeks back. Well, it’s not hoarding if it’s books.
Once the holidays festivities have passed and the shoppers have all calmed down, I’ll head out and get some more bookshelves to complete the unpacking process.
The Christmas tree is up, the kitchen is cozy, my plants all look like they’ve been draped over the balcony for years, the first batch of cookies have come out of the oven and I’ve started prepping food for Sunday’s lunch. It’s still snowy outside so looks like a white Christmas is on the menu this year.
I’ll be hosting Christmas lunch for the first time since I’ve been in the US so really looking forward to it! FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD!!
Monday we’ll probably all need a new wardrobe when our pants don’t zip up but oh well, same procedure as last year! It’s what we do best 🙂
Wishing you and your families happy-whichever-holiday-you-celebrate and don’t forget to make time for family. It’s all that counts at the end of it. Once life settles down a bit, we’ll catch up and tally the wins for 2016. It’s safe to say this year didn’t go one bit the way I thought it would. It turned out better!
Stay safe if you’re traveling
