musings about the move

Look on the sunny side! Always on the sunny side! Look on the sunny side of life! Yeah, I guess it went o.k. insofar as our stuff is out of the palace and into the estate house. The movers were efficient and friendly -- if not the tidiest. And they only broke 1 thing -- not of great value, so it doesn't really matter. So, we don't have a fully functioning kitchen. So what? I have a microwave and a fridge. Good enough. And I could put most stuff away in to the kitchen cabinets -- so that's great. I have to do dishes in the bathroom sink, but that's not so bad either. It's an adventure! It's a good story to tell Maja... Richard worked so hard on the new house. So hard. And it's great and I LOVE the new kitchen. And it's a good house on a fantastic block. And so we have to wait 1 or 2 weeks before everything is ready -- that's NOTHING compared to the years of work we had left on the palace house. Really? What's left to do? 1. have countertop guys install countertop (our task: move boxes and clear space) 2. have plumber install sink, cooktop, water line for fridge, dishwasher (our task: find the appliances and make them accessible) 3. provide access to house for the carpet dudes 4. paint Maja's room 5. move Maja's furniture upstairs 6. clear out back 2nd floor room 7. provide access to house for the floor refinisher dudes 8. unpack and move in. Not so bad, really. :)
