Made The Move
I moved this past weekend, from Bloomington to Minneapolis. This looks to be a significant lifestyle change, as I expect that living without a car will be much more feasible now. There are two HourCars within two blocks and a few more within a twenty minute walk.
The biggest challenge of this move has been a significant reduction in closet and storage space. I can no longer effortlessly store 8 to 10 rubbermaid boxes throughout the house and in storage in the garage. As a result, I’ve been doing a lot of rearranging and sorting of the boxes I have left, and finally worked myself down to 4 boxes, which fit in to my hall closet without too much trouble. One contains electronics and home improvement hardware. One contains my old NES and Genesis systems. Two contain mementos. Apart for that I have 6 empty boxes that I need to pass along, sell, or otherwise free myself of.
As the final steps of settling in are completed, including mounting the TV on the wall, building out a new desk, and building out a small window seat in the bedroom, I think this place is really going to feel like home. I’m thrilled with how things have come together, and I’m looking forward to these last few touches that I think will make a bit difference.
Once the TV is up there will be pictures, but until then things just don’t feel right so I am holding off.
