unpacking

I am busy unpacking now.  ALL THOSE BOXES!  It is a bit much to take in.  All I can do is take it one room at a time.  I started with the most important room in the house.  The control center of any home.  The kitchen.  I have found spices, bowls, glasses and pot lids.  4 boxes unpacked, 2 more opened but I'll get to those last.  I am taking it slow.

While the movers were here they kept fussing at me to sit down.  I was hurting and not getting around so good.  Today is the same.  I am moving slow, trying to keep from moving wrong.  My walking stick is my constant companion.  The kids are being very helpful.  I open the box then sit on my stool and point where I want things to go.  I put away dishes that go in my little corner of the kitchen but they are doing the major lifting and moving.

This submission thing is hard today.  I want my house in order.  I want it done today but I am under orders not to over do it.  Dragon said he didn't care of even one box got unpacked.  It will get done when it gets done he said.   So what is he going to do?  Spank me when I am already in pain from doing too much?  Hmmmm  Yes, I think Dragon would do it.

I am taking a short break.  We still can't get to the dishwasher or the coffee pot.  Working on it little by little.   I can see the sink now!  That is progress!

  1. Oh no, no coffee maker? Well don't overdo it, he is right, it will get done at some point. And lucky you to have helpful children. Not sure how helpful mine would be...

    1. I can get to the coffee pot! My coffee was late but I finally got a cup around 3. I couldn't figure out where to put the cookbooks or school supplies. Just two boxes left! When I am hurting the kids all pitch in and help. I have great kids!
