One Small Box
May 19th, 2008 by lisa
I packed my first box today. It’s a small step, but I feel a lot better now.
On Saturday, we found an apartment in Concord that we both feel we can call home for a while. It’s not perfect, but it’s perfect… if you know what I mean. The application has been filled out, and now we wait. We’re pretty sure we will get it. Even if we don’t, there are so many vacancies in the areas we want to live that we will surely have something suitable by the time we are ready to move. So I am making lists, and more lists. I’m also making lists of lists. It’s my way. I am a list-maker. I am also reorganizing and packing non-essentials. Of course, Miss Siofra is helping me.
Funny how packing one small box of non-essentials can change my frame of mind so completely.
I love Concord. We both love Concord. I can’t wait to move. I wish I could move tomorrow. But, of course, I still have much to do.
Aaaand that’s why I’m sitting in front of the computer. Sheesh! Pardon me. I need to get busy.
Congratulations! (even though you haven’t got it quite yet . . . ) Won’t it be nice to be settled somewhere new—and quiet?
