which is absolutely fine. I crossed a ton off my to-do list, getting some really mundane but necessary tasks out of the way: cleaning the kitchen, sweeping the floors, paying the bills.
and unpacking. SO MUCH UNPACKING.
today I found out that I own 28 pairs of shoes. these are not all of them.
aaaand my suitcases/boxes/bags vomited up every last possession of mine onto the bed and floor.
I spent almost a month living with t back in january and brought a lot with me then; I hung stuff up in the closet and put stuff away in the drawers. much of my unpacking today felt like january on steroids (and 50 degrees hotter). because I don't just have enough stuff for a month of winter - I have everything I own. finding space for it all was hard but I'm in. (remind us in august that we have GOT to get a more efficient closet system.)
I think that largely because of my trip here in january, unpacking today didn't make it feel like this is my home... yet. I have plenty of settling-in tasks to get to tomorrow. every step I take will bring me closer to feeling like I live here for real. I know I'll get there eventually, and I'm looking forward to it.
