I have a living room! A very nice couple came by last night and relieved me of the 65+ moving boxes and piles of packing paper that have been occupying the corner of my living room since mid-April. Smudge is rather disappointed to have the boxes gone - he keeps walking over there and crying - since he really liked climbing and scratching on them.
I can't believe how much bigger the room looks now. There's still something not quite right with the flow. But it could just be that my furniture is just too honking big for the size of the room.
Now, the only last "move in" things left to do is create some order in the spare bedroom, get shelving to make a linen closet, and work on the yard. I at least want to have the weeds and grasses pulled out when folks come over in a few weeks. I'm rather excited to be able to plant. Mmm... growing things.
