Moving Day

I'm back in Montgomery to get my stuff. Tomorrow is moving day.

Let's see . . . this will be my 4th moving day. 1st-Into my first apartment. 2nd-Out of my first apartment into my 2nd apartment in Auburn. 3rd-Out of my apartment in Auburn into storage/my parent's house and now 4th-Out of storage/my parent's house into my apartment in GA. At this rate, there will definitely be a 5th and 6th.

I haaaaate moving. It's such a hassle. It's hot. It involves a 3 1/2 hour trip this time. It's expensive. It's draining. A bunch of reshuffling, resettling, repositioning . . . I just can't wait until the dust settles and I can settle down with a mug of chai tea (actually, I've been into Earl Grey lately) and admire how I've once again made a place "home."

My apartment is still smallish, but when I got my keys the other day and took everything in after it had been cleaned, vacuumed and repainted, I found the blinds completely pulled up and the sun shining in through the great big windows in both the living room and bedroom. I looked outside and found a lovely, calming view. I can do this.
