Free At Last! Free At Last!

Today saw the last of the old apartment as we fulfilled our final walkthrough and passed with flying colors (praise the soul who invented the Magic Eraser...Mr. Clean was it?). Now all that's left is setting up the new place with 5 different people who all have different opinions about everything from where the silverware goes to which side the toilet paper roll faces (front or back, let's take a poll). Actually it's not that bad at all, but I do feel the tension between taking care of people and taking care of stuff. Obviously people come first, but whilst moving in it is hard to keep that priority there. For instance, last night Adam and Amanda were over and Erika and I were trying to move in the very last of our stuff. Eventually I had to drop the stuff, regroup, and focus properly.

It's amazing how our stuff and the details surounding it gets in the way of everything, rather than facilitating a better life as it suggests!
