In case anyone’s wondering, I’ve managed to keep up my make-the-bed-everyday-for-a-month resolution beyond October. Hootie hoo. and Burger has kept up his end of the bargain and still undoes it an hour later. Oh well.
Speaking of things coming apart, we realized that this very weekend last year I was holed up in our shower room demolishing the darned thing (inexplicably without shoes on in the beginning, which we don’t recommend).

While that still takes the cake as my a lot of physically intense disassembly ever, this weekend kicks off another that threatens to be equally taxing on our emotions: packing up. With our step less than a week and a half away we’re starting to take things down, box things up, and ready ourselves to leave. It’s bound to be sad (and tiring) especially considering that we’ve already seen what it’s like to enjoy our patio go from this…
…to this (after selling our patio set at the moving sale considering that it won’t fit the patio of the new place).
And of course the onset of wintertime weather sure is helping it look that much a lot more depressing. Sigh. We’ll be sure to post a lot more packing up pictures as we make a lot more progress. For now just wish us luck – and maybe hand Sherry some virtual tissues. We’re both so ecstatic to get into the new place but it’s absolutely going to be bittersweet to close the door on this one.
