Nesting

It's surprising, but all of my stuff seems to fit in here pretty well. We've donated a bunch of my stuff, as well as of D's stuff, to the United Way resale shop, but, for the most part, it's going okay. No gnashing of teeth.

This apartment is about 300 square feet smaller than my condo was, even though it's a 2 bedroom, and my condo was a 1 bedroom.
I had remembered the apartment as being larger, but it's not. As a result, the bedroom furniture DOES fit, but the pathways between the bed and the dresser, and the bed and the book case, are a bit narrow.

It's cozy, though, as D puts it...and he doesn't seem troubled by it.

Every day, we have worked on unpacking and sorting and placing. It's been utterly exhausting. I finally slept through the night last night for the first time.

Today, I drove us around for our errands, and we finally went and got a key made for me (silly boys, they don't think of things like that in advance!).

Today, our focus is on "eliminating the chaos" in our primary living space. Everything is unpacked and placed in those areas, so now we just have to clean and organize.

If the office is left a bit chaotic, that's OK. I need something to do until I get a job. This room will be my space for my business, and D has already put the furniture where it's going to go in here, so all I have to do is unpack the boxes that are piled in this room.

Thankfully, I have my computer set up and on line now, too, which makes me MUCH more comfortable.
