Sorting out

After the mammoth move, now comes the fun part - sorting out possessions! We're not in a house of our own, but renting a couple of rooms from a friend. That means some of our things will be unpacked and used, while others will be stored in the basement for several months until we move into something of our own (which will be a much easier job than the long-distance move just completed).

Today was spent unpacking a pickup truck, loading it up with excess 'stuff' belonging to our landlord/friend to take to Goodwill, unpacking individual items and storing them in just-offloaded furniture, rinsing, repeating, etc. By tomorrow evening we hope to have everything unloaded from the trailer (the last unloading job to be done) and indoors at last. Then there'll be several weeks of unpacking and sorting . . . I can't find the charger for my cellphone, and I'm hoping it turns up before I have to buy another one!

I'm being observed as I do my evening blog posts by my friend's dogs, an elderly female Labrador and a young collie male, who thinks he should be allowed out of his sleeping cage to chew my computer's cables while I work. (That's why he's in the cage already!) I'll have to train them not to chew cables before I trust them to lie peacefully at my feet.

More blogging tomorrow.
