On August 15th we packed up our belongings and moved across town to our rental home. Since it happened to be the very last house of many that we saw back in May, we couldn’t remember much about it. Our first reaction was more like – “what were we thinking?”
Not a strand of carpet – hence shoes save our backs (are we old?). Ornate curtains –requiring strategy to remove while here without property owner backlash. And when we were told the home was supplied with only furnishings and no kitchen utensils nor bedding, did we really believe them? Not completely. Therefore several weeks of anticipation for our shipment will require a bit of mastery of survival. But don’t ever doubt campers. 
At some point it gets a bit ridiculous to sleep under clean bath towels and the few blankets available. And what is with those Chinese mattresses? A mattress upon definition is not a brick. Or is it? Jon and Megan sleep on separate couches, Chloe sleeps with me and Emily just sleeps with no cares. Is this what 17 years of marriage comes to – when you wake up satisfied simply from quality of sleep?!!
It’ll be a work in process to settle in but we are up for the challenge. Don’t ever doubt a Nicholas.
Daily Myth Solver: Ceiling lights are intact. Or are they? When one comes crashing down from the kitchen ceiling at some random moment, is it a bad omen or poor quality of construction? (absolutely no one was harmed in this particular event and not a shard of glass was dispersed – at least their insert lighting is flexible for impact and rightfully so!)
