Hide & Seek with our Stuff
Each day brings a new hunt for our stuff: A purse to match an outfit, a DVD, tuperware, a clean towel..... On Saturday it was a blanket so we could loung outside. On Sunday, it was a pair of shorts for Adam and a casserole dish for dinner. (Update: Monday night: Food Processor)..... I feel like the problem is exponentially growing. With each day that passes, we are looking for more stuff. We are probably about 75% packed - living around the boxes We were actually more packed, but once we knew we weren't moving we actually UNPACKED some boxes - no joke. I already had 3 boxes of food all packed up as we entered the home stretch. Adam was teasing me for my over-organized packing (I was writing a lot on the boxes explaining what's inside), but its coming in pretty handy! We have hidden as many boxes as we can in the "scary" closet. I was starting to feel claustrophobic. I first started packing back in late July/early August when we thought we were moving to NYC - I want to have access to our stuff! I haven't seen our fondue pot in 9 months!
So, now what? Great Question! How long can we live among the boxes? I really don't want to live in our current apartment building anymore - I have been emotionally prepared to move out for ages now. I just can't resign myself to staying in that place for another year (and unpacking!). At the same time, we have not had any luck in the past finding a place to rent that is as nice (and big) as our current place for the same price. Other places have either been a dump, teeny, or twice as expensive.
We had been largely ignoring this dilema over the weekend, taking in the sun and enjoying a weekend of lounging in Rittenhouse Square. It was one of the nicest weekend we have had in months! I am coming into my busy season next week and it will last until May 10th - so we can't ignore this for long. (I cheated a little - this photo is actually from lounging in RIttenhouse last spring, but it looked the same this weekend).
