It’s here, moving day. When I signed the lease, February 20 seemed like such a long time away. January always takes about 3 months to finish up, this January was no different. January ended and then February crawled it’s easy through until now, it’s moving day finally.

I’ve never, ever lived in a brand new build. No one has been in there before, just the occasional walk through to show the place. Something fresh, something exclusively mine. I’m really looking forward to it.

I’m downsizing, that’s for sure. It’s 678 sq ft of living space. Living room, kitchen, bedrooms, walk through closet, bathroom and den. The den is a good size, it just can’t be called a bedroom as there is no window. It’s got an island in the kitchen so I’ll be using that as opposed to a dining room table. The laundry is in a closet right by the front door. The patio adds another almost 200 sq ft. I’ll have my BBQ, a deck box and a couple of chairs out there. It’s fully covered so BBQing will be great. I’ll probably BBQ tonight for dinner.

My furniture arrives over the next few weeks with my leather couch and loveseat arriving in August. I’ll be “roughing” it until March 5 when my sectional arrives and gets delivered. The dogs will actually have to use their dog beds. The poor dogs eh…

I want to get everything unpacked and organized by end of day Saturday which is fairly ambitious but since the reusable plastic moving boxes are getting picked up Monday, I’ve got no choice.

I’m looking forward to starting over fresh. A clean break in a new place. Might be exactly what I need.
