That half-settled, half-in-progress state of being -- also known as chaos -- was where I lived this week. Every day boxes were being opened, unpacked, broken down... Items were being placed or shuffled... I was taking every little step I could toward completion but sometimes all I could do was wait. Hanging the curtains is a prime example of that forced pause. I didnt have a drill. Whoops.
I wasnt emotionally prepared to take on the full project of the kitchen yet -- degreasing, sanding, priming and painting every surface -- but I didnt want to be living out of plastic tubs either so I dug out a few essentials for cooking and eating. Creating and placing the flags onto my world map was a fun break from all the hard work. Unpacking all of my books -- about half of my boxes contained books -- organizing them and placing them on my newly assembled IKEA bookcase was a big step of progress. Being able to push my bedroom furniture back against the walls was another one.
