Well, I have been absent this week due to the fact that I am moving this weekend. My stuff...and that's what our possessions are....has spent more time in boxes and in moving vans in the last 10 years than they have being lived with. You would think they would know the routine by heart and just jump into the boxes! But alas...some human involvement is still required.
You would think that a move 120 yards across the parking lot in my apartment complex would be easy. But to make it easy I would have to get rid of a lot of my professional, Bible study, historical and leisure books, boxes of office supplies, boxes of sheet music....and I can't do that. Someday I WILL have a piano again. The books are my friends. They have been a constant when everything else is changing around me.
So...the living room is done (BIG book job!), office is 2/3 of the way there, kitchen, bedroom and bath will be carried over in car loads. Then there is just stuff...lamps, pillows, small furniture pieces.
Could I live without a lot of it? Probably. There is nothing expensive...but also nothing anyone else would want :o) So I just keep hauling it around and setting up camp in new places to meet the challenges our economy presents.
This is the this is (I think) the 13th move in 20 years. Maybe a tent is in order?
