The move is over,
sort of,
right now, there are remnants in every room,
i have such a hard time finishing things, and this is proved by the large amount of half opened boxes that are now congregating in our extra bedroom. I wander into the room every 1/2 hour or so and grab something to soothe my guilty conscience about avoiding this room altogether.
We have an extra bedroom, which i have always wanted, but now i am hesitant about filling it with extra stuff. Maybe if i loved cleaning or lifting heavy things, i wouldn't mind filling it with a bed or a dresser or something room appropriate.
When you move, you become very aware of the amount of stuff that you have accumulated. I am a sucker for a bargain; that fleur de lis ceramic garden plate that was 50c at Value Village, just doesn't seem to be so necessary when all of your possessions are being carted down and then up another set of stairs.
Simplicity is good.
I am going to go make some hummus and continue to avoid those half opened boxes.
Cheers.

Can I make you feel a little better Jules? We moved into our house in September 2006 and didn't clear all the half empty boxes from our "extra room" until May 2008! And even then it was only cos we had to. The imminent arrival of something to importantly fill the room made it a bit of a must. But I'm SURE that if I wasn't pregnant it would still be sitting with a futon, a clothes rail, 2 drying racks, an iron/ironing board, 4 bin bags full of sheets/clothes, a chest of drawers, a CD rack, and 4 cardboard boxes
Miss you guys. Might be coming over in Sept/Oct time and definitely won't be feeling as sick and unwilling to drive for hours this time
Would love to come visit.

I just moved this weekend myself. I totally feel your pain. Like you I am not a finisher... but I am trying.
