We have arrived in our new house, and all our stuff arrived the day after we did! Yesterday was exhausting but at least we don’t have to wait a few more days eating off paper plates while standing at the kitchen counter.
It is 100% moving chaos mode around here at the moment. We are still trying to decide what furniture we need to get and where our existing furniture should go. We drove out to Ikea the day we got the keys and wandered around in a progressively deepening fog until 9pm. Do we want to get a $500 reclining armchair? A $300 dining room table? Or the $30 kitchen table with the $20 chairs? After spending a hefty chunk on the best mattress we’ve ever owned it seemed easy to drop more cash on furniture, but we restrained ourselves. I think part of the consume-consume-consume instinct comes from being back in the land of North American shopping. It’s like TV; because I’m not exposed to it on a regular basis I haven’t developed any tolerance to it.
Anyway, there is so much house stuff to be done that I should probably get going on that and pry myself away from the computer. Pics will follow as soon as we get our broadband connected…
