New Places for Your Things

Tired of Boxes Everywhere!
We are really lucky in that we have much more room in this house than we ever imagined. We both tend to be pack rats with our different things...my husband with his computer parts and wires, and me with nick-knacks and etc. Well you never know when something will come in handy. (The motto of a typical pack rat)

We are going through things and separating out what we don't need as we get to them. We had tried doing this with the last move but much of our things were stored in a rented storage room on the other side of town, and the summer heat got the best of us in that project. All the things that came from that storage area are presently in the garage and we will go through them later after we recuperate from dealing with moving into the house. We had planned on having a yard sale this past spring but we never made it, so we will get it done next spring. Having the garage and all the items actually here should make it much easier to go through all the things and separate them. Plus we can have the yard sale right here at the house instead of having to go to another location, which we were going to have to do when living in the townhouse, since it was not allowed there. It will be interesting to see how many things are not needed here at the house vs living in rentals.

We are still unpacking the boxes in the house. I swear I think they are breeding and multiplying. We are working together now and knocking out much more at one time than working separately. It's very difficult though, because of my limited ability due to pain and hubby is fasting during the day. The process is taking us much, much longer because of these two situations, which is really torturing both of us. We really need to get to the end of this stage so we can relax for a bit, since we have been living at this high speed for many weeks now and we are both exhausted.
