When the time finally comes

I’m moving house. This isn’t news, to me or anyone around me. 

And yet . . . 

Now that the time has finally come to put our CT house on the market, it’s getting really really really real. 

Know what I mean? 

Rooms are becoming emptier. Boxes are becoming fuller. Walls are getting painted. Rugs are getting rolled up. The house is starting to feel hollow and echo-y, perfect for the sound of my husband’s deep sighs of “I can’t believe this time is finally here”. 

I haven’t moved since 1998 and that was a roommate situation so I basically had bedroom stuff and a few toiletries. I had no idea how hard it would feel to make decisions about what comes with us and what doesn’t. I sailed into this feeling ruthless and powerful - I need nothing! But that’s simply not true, is it? 

Anyway - I don’t really know the point of this week’s newsletter. Except maybe to give me a few more moments of procrastination before I go back to bubble-wrapping the breakables. 

Have you moved recently? Are you considering a move? I’d love to hear about it. 💜
