It never ends

I've been moved just over a week now and am amazed at how much there still is to do/unpack/sell/give away. Things are beginning to return to something approaching normality but part of me wonders when the bags in the bedroom and the boxes in the living room will be cleared away.

I've so much writing I want to do that this is doubly frustrating. I don't think last week's heat wave helped, but I realize I need more storage and that's something I'm working on creating out of nowhere. Cubes, ottomans and storage benches all appeal to me but Evan insists that whatever we get is not self-assembly. The space is bigger, it's just that the storage options are fewer and I have yet to find ways to crush everything into corners.

My Mayle is all nicely packed away, however. With this week's cooler temps, I look forward to wearing some of my pretty summer dresses again. Evan's parents are meeting us for dinner tonight and I'm thinking what to wear.

wear Jemeem! you totally inspired me last week!! I agree with Evan, do not buy anything you have to assemble, it will fall apart (I have learned this the hard way). The Container Store is having a huge sale. It may be a bit expensive, but those Elfa storage/shelving units are great. If we buy this place up on 23rd we have to build out all the closets, which I am excited about but at the ame time, ts so bloody expensive

I wore Lana, but Jemeen would have been great. I'm trying to rotate my dresses to get the most wear out of them that I can.

Thanks for the tip on the Container Store. I'll have to check out the one on 6th Ave.

It would be so much fun to build out closets--I hope you get the apartment!
