Oh yeah…Livejournal. I’m supposed to keep this thing updated, aren’t I?
Actually, this week has been so full of mundane stuff that it’s almost not worth documenting. All the stuff you do after you move – unpack, sort stuff, put up curtains, that kind of thing. To give people an idea of where we are now: We’re sharing a 2,000+ square-foot house with a bachelor friend, John. He’s had several roommates in the last few years and they all seem to leave their stuff with him. This has the benefit that if we need space we can box up whatever’s in the way and make room – he doesn’t actually have much furniture here. We have two roughly 12 x 12 rooms upstairs – one for the bedroom and one for an office. The bedroom is pretty much consumed by our king-sized bed, unfortunately, though we’re able to squeeze in our dresser and headboard. In the office we have the loveseat, Dan’s desk, a filing cabinet, the phone stand (with cookbooks, of course), and our TV/Tivo/DVD setup.
The kitchen is an interesting problem. Lots of stuff in there belongs to an old roommate, though John has some staples in there. He doesn’t really cook much, so he hasn’t had much use for all the cooking equipment. We’re going to try to box up everything that we can this weekend and see if we can fit all of the crucial stuff from our kitchen in there. I tried cooking a few times last week and between not knowing where anything was and having to dig through boxes to find some equipment that was missing, I was going nuts. So that’s tomorrow’s project.
The other project is to move the last bit of stuff that’s occupying the left side of the garage to the basement, or at least move it out of the way enough be able to park our car in there. Oh, and return the ceiling fans we bought, since we can’t install them since there aren’t proper fan boxes in the bedroom and office.
But that’s for the weekend. Now…now we go out for dinner at Spartacus, yummy Greek food and flaming cheese! Opa!
Congrats on the successful move! Hope you can figure out kitchen compromises soon 😉
Cheers!
