Day Two: We Moved
Feb22013
I had plans. Big plans. Move in on Thursday, paint the office, paint the furniture, put up the bulletin board . . .
So when we finished moving on FRIDAY, I spent the evening trying to find things, keeping the dogs from freaking, and watching Mentalist re-runs with Krissie to keep myself from freaking. Today, we’re running around getting computer cords and warmer clothes because the temp dropped to fifteen degrees and Krissie didn’t bring heavy sweats, and I can’t find anything, and then once we get the temporary kitchen set up, I am all about the office. The carpet squares arrived so there should be nothing keeping me from putting it all together this week. Except Fate, of course.
Here’s the office as it is right now. It’ll be better soon. (Deep breaths, Susan, deep breaths.)
Oh and big props to Krissie who got the wireless working right away. The woman is a goddess. (Pics of the rest of the chaos on ReFab; I know you guys are only interested in office chaos, but for those of you who want to see the move-in chaos of the rest of the place . . .)

Congratulations on your move. I’ve never had to deal with constructing and unpacking at the same time, so I bow to your strength of purpose (or desperation as the case may be).
And I second what Robin said. You know how we all love pictures – furniture, dogs, offices – we’re easy.

It’s hard work, but shifting stuff around to where you want them is very satisfying.
Happy painting.

Hi Jenny,
Have been gone awhile. Happy to hear you’ve moved into the cottage, and hope you are happier. Great way to start a New Year!! Sounds like you’re enjoying the project of refurbishing the cottage to how you’d like it to be.
Hope that teaching makes you happy. Great that you are sharing your wonderful knowledge about books/fiction.
How is your writing going?
Cheers!!
Janice

Great that you got moved!
If you haven’t got those carpet squares down yet … a layer of dense closed-cell foam on the floor can really help with the cold. We got some in big jigsaw pieces, like this: http://www.softfloor.co.uk/classic.shtml. If you glue it down, you can glue carpet squares on top.

So hum, Attention to exhale, inhale takes care of itself. “I” on deep inhale, push tumtum out with breath; “am” on exhale, pull belly button in tight.
Put your objects where first it occurs to you. Slightly arrange later and realize how right your instinct is. Otherwise, you’re fine with Krissie athwartsides.

Yay for being “in.” You should get a map of the area with an arrow and “YOU ARE HERE” written on it. Print a small one of the internet. Just for fun.
Congratulations and best wishes for the rest of it …animals and all!

Fabulous! Glad you’re taking some down time to watch a little telly and relax. Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day, and moving into to a new abode can’t be done in a day either. So long as you clear a path everything is doable. ; )

(-: Hate to say it, but it looks a lot better than our office . . . . You have to dig down three layers to find anything in there (and I share it, and my husband has started saving boxes for some mysterious reason).
Sending best wishes for a smooth unpacking/reassembling.
