Sunday, July 1, 2018

Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2007. I remember snapping this photo of Mattie and Peter. We were in San Diego and the bridge from San Diego to the island of Coronado was in the background. Mattie loved adventure, travel, and new experiences.

It isn't easy to move, because it involves purging things.... donating and throwing out! Which is tedious and time consuming. Though professional movers are coming next week to pack my parent's home, I am trying to move as much as I can to make the transition to a new home more manageable. Having access to one's clothes, everyday tableware, soaps, laundry material, and so forth are crucial. 

We made great strides today with carrying every piece of clothing in the master bedroom closet to their new home. This involved carrying the clothing downstairs, loading the car, driving to the new house, and carrying the clothing upstairs and rearranging it in the new closet. May sound easy but clothing is bulky and very heavy!

Naturally with clothing also come shoes. I will take shoes over clothes any day! Clothes are a nightmare to move. So far they have been my least favorite item in this move!

Toward the end of the day, we loaded the car up with everyday china and started loading up the cabinets. Keep in mind before we put the items in the cabinets they had to be cleaned. Needless to say it was another full day. As of today, I have been in Los Angeles for a week, and I feel like I have accomplished two months of work so far. I realize it will only get worse once the movers come on the scene, as it will be a lot to manage in order for items to get placed into the correct rooms. I maybe strong, but I know my limits with furniture.
