- No matter how big the space seems when it’s empty, it’s never big enough when your stuff gets moved in, i.e. my new closet.
- After years of living on 4th or 5th floors of downtown apartment buildings, you forget how many spiders do get into your home.
- Career note to movers: if you don’t like lifting heavy objects, find a new job!
- In the past 4 days I’ve made more trips to the following stores than I truly care to admit: Sears, Home Depot, Fred Meyer.

Can't wait to come visit Cousin Meg! Spiders go away once you stake your claim on the place :)
A big YES! on all points!!! Don't worry -- you'll get the unpacking done. As long as the kitchen, bathrooms, and escape area (ie. backyard, craft room, whatever) are complete, you have years of your life to settle in. You'll get there. :-) And then you'll never want to leave.
Yay, Yay, Yay!! You are settling in. So glad you are finding your way around your new digs. I'm thrilled for you.
Hang in there! It will be a process...and the craft room should wait until it's FUN. Enjoy that patio and breathe deeply.
Oh yes!!! Getting there....always takes so long to settle in- but then when you do... A least you have your little places of peace among the boxes! -S
