home again, or working on it...

[thanate]

We have survived a week of marriage (thank you to those of you who expressed congratulations earlier), and enjoyed a week of off-season Bar Harbor (which was lovely and calming, and had there been any more we would have gotten bored) and now I am back in the middle of moving. I was going to start with laundry, but it's supposed to rain until Wednesday, so I think I'll hold off until I can put things out on the line. The trees have leafed out, and the back yard is very green, with the exception of some cheerfully pink and purple azaleas.

Some of the "wait, we're married" (and/or, "We're totally grown-ups! *snicker*") oddness is starting to wear off, although there's still all the name change and moving paperwork to go through. I've opted not to start that today, but I'm still somewhat in the awkward middle of concepts of "home." What exactly home is depends a bit on when and where, and a lot of it is people (grauwulf is off at work now...) and some of it is basic familiarity, but there's also in my case a large element of it being where my stuff is. Most of my stuff is here at this point, but I'm still working on the bit about setting it up so it's usable and the place seems lived in rather than storing things. So this week there are books to re-shelve, pictures to hang, and a whole lot of stuff to sort through and re-arrange. And the kitchen, of course. Currently the fridge is full of beer and cheese & sausage tray, which doesn't do so much for dinner. Onward & upwards...

WOOOHOOOO by the way! Congrats!

So now you get the build the homestead/nest, eh? I know what you mean about the awkward middle zone. Two households becoming one is always a little weird.

I must say that the contents of your fridge sound just peachy to me! :)

Thanks! It's weird, but far less stressful than the moving out bit, so that's good, at least.

Yeah... we'd be more excited by the food if we hadn't been eating out for the last week; I think we're both to the point of wanting something a bit more real and somewhat less greasy.

I love the nesting part! :)

Congrats!

Yes-- I get to putter and make baby steps towards about five different things at once, and open boxes of books that contain things I not only had forgotten I had, but in some cases haven't even read yet. :) Far more restful than the moving out part, at least.

Sounds like a great dinner to me lol!

Welcome back

thanks. (It would be more appealing as dinner if we hadn't just spent the last week eating out, of course...)

Sounds like the makings for a caserole to me.

Probably several-- and I've put all the cheese & sausage bits into smaller tupperware containers, so I'll now have space to put more groceries when I get them. :)
