They gave me a two hour window

nǐhǎo,

This is it from this room. 
It is highly unlikely that I will live in this house again:(

The packers gave me an estimated arrival of 8:30 to 10:30.....how do they run a business with such vagaries?  Besides, as much as I dread the next three days, I really want to get on with them. Dragging it out does not help my stress level.

Perhaps then I might sleep past 5:30 in the morning.  Speaking of sleeping, I apologize to anyone who has used our foldout couch in the past few years....Mom and Dad.......I slept on it last night, what am I thinking that I can do that for a month??  Tonight I think the mattress goes on the floor, we will try that.  It didn't used to be like this but I guess everything sags with time, haha!

I am so sad about how little of my fabric and other supplies I think I can bring. It is hard to know what they call reasonable amounts....The things I have selected look like such a pitiful amount.....I will have to come back here as often as possible to pick up more!

Mike is going to look at another house today or tomorrow...hard to be sure as they are going to bed as we get up.  They have used the day we are just starting.  He thinks this will be the better choice.  I trust him to get the right one.  My bedroom will be on the third floor.  My aching knee! I never even came house hunting when we moved back to Florence 6 years ago.  The town is small and I knew the location of the neighborhoods he would look in, he did good!

Enough of this.  I have a bit more to organize today.  I think I did half the work for the movers already. Maybe not, I don't lift furniture anymore:)

zàijiàn!
