もう何度も引っ越しを繰り返してきたけど、引っ越し屋さんを使うのは今回が初めて。いや～、重い家具を運ばなくていい引っ越しというのはいいものだね。
さすがに砂漠地帯の、ただのブロックでできた倉庫に2年4か月も眠っていた家財道具は、どれもすべて小汚いです。段ボールに入っていた物も、持ち手の穴から埃が入るのか、もうとにかくすべてが小汚くて、ただ荷ほどきをする、ってことができず、全部洗えるものは洗うか、雑巾で水拭きしなくてはならなくて、荷ほどきに非常に時間がかかっております。
この2年間、必要最低限のものだけで暮らしてきたので、物の多さにちょっと焦っています。頑張ってコンマリしてます。やっぱりときめく物だけに囲まれて過ごさないとね。
The day has finally come: the moving truck full of our household stuff from the Desert has arrived.
Since MOTH had a business trip back in the Desert, he was able to coordinate and oversee the shipment of our household goods from the storage in the Desert to the Deep South. When I saw the ginormous trailer, I was worried that we had so much stuff, but luckily the trailer was less than 2/3 full. (Still that's a lot of stuff...)
We have moved quite a few times in the past 15 years but this was our first time using a mover. It was nice I did not have to do any heavy lifting.
A ramp makes a huge difference.
Halfway through and still jam packed.
When we moved from the South to the Desert, we had to store our household goods in Pods for a year because we couldn't sell our house and buy another house right away. The Pods was nice: we packed it ourselves and it got delivered on our door step when we moved into a house. The contents were clean and we just unpacked.
What is different this time is that our stuff sat in a storage unit for 2 years and 4 months. We got a good ol' cinder block storage unit that is not climate controlled. So everything got very dusty, literally, everything, even the the stuff that was in a box. Everything has thin layer of dust and grime.
So the unpacking has been a slow process. I have to wash everything if I can, or wipe them off every single item.
The house is a hot mess and my allergy has flared up from all the dust in the house. There are just so much stuff compared to what we had in the past 2 years so I'm a bit overwhelmed and trying to do KonMari and let things go if they don't spark joy anymore.
Today's goal is to finish the kitchen area so that I can start cooking a proper meal. Let's get to it.
