Remind Me To Buy Stock in Aleve...

First of all - if you plan on packing clothes in those lovely Spacebags - be prepared to do LOTS of laundry when you are using those. Basically - my new living room was a clothing sorting ground: Colors (light & dark), whites, reds, blacks and sheets/towels. I've done sooo much laundry that finally one of my closets is almost full and the other is getting close. And I haven't even gotten near the shoes yet. That's slated for Tuesday.

The kitchen is done, short one box of cookbooks. All well and good since I'm almost out of room to put those on my new quasi shelf. I even cooked this morning which was rather refreshing. It's great to have a stove that kicks butt over and beyond the one at the old place.

Dining room - eehh - the new placemats are there on the table along with the hurricane lamps I got a while ago. Along with 2 boxes of heavy books. Books that need a bookshelf. A bookshelf I don't know where to put. A bookshelf that will either go in the living room or my bedroom. Or, those books are going to charity. Still don't know where to go with the bookshelf.

Living Room is still a war zone. While I've unpacked over 20 boxes, set up 1 of the DVD racks, reprogrammed the DirecTV to accomodate for the extra satellite input, I've still got lots of stuff that needs a home, but I just don't know where that home will be just yet.

However, I learned an important lesson. See, the boxes are stacked 3 high and two rows deep. I've been looking for one particular item and I decided that enough was enough and that I needed to look in each and every box to see if this item was in it. As I'm standing in front of one of the row of boxes, I see one box at the very bottom in the row behind and bend over to open said box. What I heard next still is painful - a huge, loud CRACK followed by a very sharp pain in the base of my spine. The pain hurt worse than when I got my tattoo. And what does the cat do - YAWN as I'm hobbling in pain around the apartment. I remembered my father always said to not let it get stiff so I kept moving around and even figured that I needed to go grocery shopping. Right now I'm feelin' the burn, but not as much as I would be without the bottle of Aleve that I found in a box when I got adventuresome again.

And, guess what - I still didn't find what I was looking for. However, I did find that I had some interesting clothing from back in the day. And some very incriminating videotapes from the 80s. I'll need to find a spot to bury those.
