We’ve moved! We’re in the new place. The Time Warner guy left about 45 minutes ago, so we have cable and Internet, and I can blog.

The move went off without a hitch. Moving is SO much easier when you pay people to do it for you. We used Rabbit Movers and they did a good job.

I unpacked all my books yesterday, most of which I hadn’t seen in months. I got rid of tons of books last fall, but I still have too many. Last night I’d open a box and find yet more books in it and shake my head. I like having shelves of books, though. They make a home more homey.

It’ll take more time to unpack everything, figure out where it all goes, get curtains, get settled, etc. But eventually this will be home.

Tomorrow we’re moving to the new apartment. I worked from home today so I could pick up the keys during lunch. (Matt has been crazy busy at work so I volunteered to get the keys. I work in New Jersey and the apartment’s in New York, so it was easier to just stay in the city today.)

Packing is annoying. Matt’s way more stressed about the move than I am, although I’m not what I would call calm. Fortunately, since we knew our current apartment was going to be temporary, we left much of our stuff in boxes. I never unpacked my books or DVDs, so that was one less thing to worry about.

We’ve been really spoiled these last six months. The temporary apartment that Barnard (Matt’s employer) gave us has two bedrooms and two bathrooms and a huge living room. So we’re going to have to downsize again. I know, boo hoo. We told ourselves we wouldn’t let ourselves get spoiled… but we let ourselves get spoiled. Still, it’ll be fine.

Tonight we finish packing, and tomorrow morning the movers come. I was trying to figure out the best way to not be stressed about the move, and I decided that the best way to do that is to not expect perfection. If there are glitches, if we have to pay a little more than we expect, if something breaks, then whatever. It’s not like it’s death.

Wish us luck.
