Moving personalities

I’m not entirely sure how one can be of two minds when packing, despite having done it myself!

The move is mostly complete. I’m in the new place, not quite living out of boxes, but equally unsure of where everything is actually at. I only lost one piece in the move which I’m grateful for. I’ve had other teams move my belongings with little to no regard for the pieces. Luckily it wasn’t one of the antiques. Just a bar cart, but one I used extensively so now I have to figure out a new place for alcohol. I’m not thinking the Hoosier cabinet is really made for it.

I’ve noticed as I’ve been unpacking that decisions I made in the heat of the moment make no darn sense at this stage of settling in. I have no idea where my large baking sheets are and cannot fit the life of me figure out why the cookbooks were separated into two groups. I’ve spent just as much time cranky with myself these last couple of days as I have been with the flipper that ‘renovated’ this house.

There are still miscellaneous boxes at the old place as well as coolers I need to bring back, but as this is also my vacation I truthfully just want to laze about as well. It is a tough balance and I have to admit I’m centering more on the self care aspect telling myself that I have the rest of my life to settle in. I do have a timeline to be out of the old place but I’m not worried about making it. Just motivating myself to get over there to get some cleaning done. Plus I have to run the step ladder back over to get the things that are still up high in the kitchen. Luckily all the drawers have been emptied.

I’m thrilled with my garden and less excited about my yard. I have creeping vines infiltrating my whole yard and they are not deterred by some cardboard boxes and wood chips. Eventually I want the rest of the yard to be clover but I need to try and kill what I can now. The blackberry bushes I bought are not doing anything at all so I’m thinking I missed my window. I may have to hit a smaller garden place to see what options I have.

I did pick up my creamer so I can jump straight into my morning brew. Not sure how I would function with out it.

This week is slowly kicking my tail and I’m almost ready to go back to work just for the break. I need to finish the kitchen though, and finish painting the guest bedroom. One I can get those pieces knocked I will be in a better spot.
