I'm still trying to figure out, now that I have identified almost all of it, where to put it. I've started a book and each box that gets repacked has a page, and on that page is everything in that box. If there was a layout, almost all of this would fit in under skirting. I just unpacked more than I had room to put things away!
The deal is this ... unless you want to end up trying to figure out what to do with the contents of a two story, four bedroom, three-and-a-half bath, two car garage, two story, 2800 square foot house that you have moved out of the overpriced storage unit (costing as much as a two bedroom, two bath condo rental) and into a two bedroom, two bath 1300 square foot house where one small bedroom has a desk, a couple of filing cabinets, a drawing board and a love-seat-sized sleeper "sofa" ... when "she who must be obeyed" suggests that she wants something or that you do someting, give it some serious consideration!
Now, I'm sorry I posted that photo ... it was probably not the best idea I've ever had. But, despite the current mess, trying to rediscover what I have, it's still better than living in a rented room where the only things you have that are your own are the clothes in the closet!
In the meantime, the next time
YOU move into a space that's
LESS THAN HALF THE SIZE of the one you had been living in ... thirteen years prior ... and you haven't seen the contents of over two hundred boxes in all that time ...
I DOUBLE-DOG DARE YOU to post a photograph of
your new digs in mid-unpacking condition, especially if you are doing it
ALONE! And if you don't have the nerve to do that, or if "she who must be obeyed" forbids you to do so ... maybe you will learn to
keep your snarky comments to yourself!
If you haven't walked in those shoes, feel very fortunate! When it comes to divorce, you can lose everything! I was lucky ... I came out with my art supplies, my drawing board, which were my tools with which to make a living (and pay child support,) something to sleep on, something to sit on and ... my books and my trains.
It seems there is always someone who, with complete and total insensitvity, finds it somehow humorous to ignore the previously-explained uncomfortable situation of another ... and thereby removes all the enjoyment of this entire forum for the person who is the subject of their moronic insensitivity!
