It's hard to believe that we have compressed the essentials of our lives into 8 suitcases. Umm, compressed being rather literal I'm afraid - those suckers are stuffed! It was a very interesting experience contemplating the stuff of our lives. I feel like this is the beginning of our "minimalist" phase or at least comparative minimalism. Now the trick is to keep from beginning another period of accumulation. Not sure how we'll accomplish that since it is looking like we will have to get an unfurnished place.
On top of the nutso packing, we had to say goodbye to the family which was rather hard and Zuzu, our dog, didn't even wait for us to leave to start moping. She knows when those suitcases come out it's bad news and there were so many I think she figured she might as well get an early start on being depressed.
I'm sure the enormity of this change will hit me soon, but at the moment I'm so tired I can hardly think (apparently going to bed at 6:00 AM will do that to you).
Stay tuned for the blubbering when I start missing everybody...
Relax a little. It is possible to live with very little. That comes from someone who lived with what fit in a car for 6 months. That included the TV and computer. Do you have a house or apt to go to?
ReplyDeleteNo house or apartment yet. We're at a hotel for the time being.
