For the past few weeks I've been "packing". For the past couple days I've been packing in earnest. How did I ever accumulate so much stuff? And why do I own so many books? I shudder to think that this is just part of my collection, and that most of them I bought in Vancouver over the past couple of years. Yikes!
I'm proud to report though that most my stuff was not purchased in the last year. I've been getting better. There was only one suitcase full of clothing and books to donate. Not bad.
My aunt E. bought 12 boxes for me, 6 smaller ones, 6 larger ones. At first, I thought that it'd never be enough, but in the end, that was exactly right. Most were full of kitchen supplies, bathroom supplies, and books. The last two, "odds and ends" were full of things that I didn't even remember that I owned!
My new place is a two bedroom, my friend C. is coming back from a year in Nelson to go to Librarian college and will be my roommate. The place is smaller, but I remember thinking that it had good potential last time I saw it. Wood floors, full size windows, a decent size bedroom, the only problem is the small kitchen, but we'll make it work! I hope that it's an amazing place, that we set it up well, and that I don't need to move for at least another 2 years! In the last 5 years since I've left home, I've changed apartments 5 times, once a year, plus I've moved to camp for the summer 3 times, and across the country once. It's getting old fast, especially since furniture has been involved!
How'd your move go??
