Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / January 2006Ping: Diane C and Dee Tee
How did you live through this? We unpack and unpack and the boxes are multiplying while we sleep. John just came down with a cold. We have rearranged the kitchen three times and hopefully this is the last time. The cabinets are homemade and are oddly shaped and sized. If they had pull out drawers it wouldn't matter but narrow and deep make it difficult to put anything away behind something. Cats are adjusting and Paku especially loves the carpeted stairs to John's office. He has never had carpeted stairs. He has found he can roll down them grabbing each stair as he goes and this amuses him for some reason. Duckie glad the kitties are adjusting. it's easy for them. they don't have to unpack and rearrange furniture. i think deetee sailed through her move. on the other hand, john and i still have two of the three bays of our garage full of boxes. we need bookshelves before we can unpack all the books. maybe by summer. :-( and still nothing on the walls because we want to use john's photography and he's too busy getting his business up and running and dealing with the crohns flare from hell. so, all that is to say i empathize! what's your situation? are you renting for a year and then buy something? diane Yep - renting for at least a year and with all this unpacking I am thinking two now. It does give us a roof over our head in case we find a true fixer-upper and it needs work. Go to Home Depot and I think the name was MillsPride. They have to be put together but we got really good at it after the first two. These are bookshelves I am talking about. Or there is the kind the container store sells which pull out of the box - pull open the side supports and tahdah the shelves drop into place. Nothing easier than that. I think they had free shipping over a certain amount. We have way tooooo much stuff that needs to find a home. We only have one extra large bay full of boxes.

Welcome to wet west coast! You have to love this rain, rain, rain and of course the occasional mud slides. Hope you are near Jen and Jeff. Well maybe the real estate market will cool a bit in CA, that would be good! -- MZ Visit my website: http://www.mzuschlag.com >>Yep - renting for at least a year and with all this unpacking I am >>thinking two now.

I really don't see how the market can't be too hot not to cool down. Makes me a bit uneasy to realize I can't afford to live in my neighborhood. We've been here thirty five years, and the newer neighbors are definitely better off money wise than the older ones. Jo > How did you live through this?

Or it would be if we were younger and more adaptable. As it is, Charlie never puts anything away the same place twice. So I can never find anything. Jo lol John and I rearranged this time together so we both know where we think we put stuff. lol Duckie Don't believe Diane, Duckie! It has not been a breeze. We still have a multitude of boxes in our garage that we're just ignoring until Spring. We got sooooooo tired of unpacking and trying to squeeze in more stuff. So we're gonna wait until the weather's warmer and just sit in the garage and unpack. I see a major yard sale in our future. Glad you're where you want to be.

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > some reason. > Duckie Well, waiting till spring might be a plan but not sure how I am going to tell when that is here. In boston it would be when the snow began to melt and the first flowers poked their little heads up. Here flowers are blooming now. There is a fushia plant on the side that is at least 10 feet tall. I had only seen those in pots for hanging. Never anything that lasted year to year. I'm spending tomorrow on my office. It is scary. lol Duckie <It has not been a breeze. We still have a multitude of boxes in our garage that we're just ignoring until Spring.> Duckie, wishing you the best with the unpacking. Hope John doesn't have the flu like Jim and I ended up with. Bad news, it packs a whallop. Glad the cats are adjusting. Had to laugh about Paku being amused with the stairs. Diane, I hope you get unpacked ok this summer. I hope Johns business does well and that his crohns is doing better. Thinking of you alot. Dee Tee I hope you get unpacked this spring. I want to be there for the yardsale. ;-) I love yardsales.
