Even though we have been in Albuquerque for 4½ months, it feels like we have not yet moved in. Coming from a 4 bedroom house with a capacious attic and full basement to 1 bedroom house (albeit with guest-house and an acre of land), many of our things ended up in places where they fit rather than in places where they really should go. Most of our paintings are out in a little playhouse next to the house. In order to find Roomie a blank cd yesterday, I had to move 10 boxes in the packed tiny house and move them all back again to enable myself to back out again.¹
The garage, although it was small, dark, dusty, and had floor made of dust, held a few critical items. I say "held" because the garage is coming down this week and a new shiny beautiful garage is going up in its place. Of course, the loss (however temporary) means a certain amount of additional dislocation. Two scooters are now parked in the Tuff Shed.™ Motorcycles are parked behind the structure intended for garden equipment, the nunumotor and US Army folding chairs shares the Kelty tarp space. Cans of paint are now stored in the casita's kitchen. All the tools, boxes, fasteners, etc that used to be in the garage are now stuffed in the adobe sheds. The darkest hour of our storage crunch has truly arrived.
I have managed to achieve my goal for the day: both the garage and the "workshop" (in fact one notch above a chicken-coop) are empty, the electrical service to them disconnected, and the construction debris consolidated next to the garage. To celebrate, I nunu'd up the piles of leaves that Roomie so diligently raked yesterday. By the time I return from yet another road trip, it should look a lot different around here.
¹ Roomie later volunteered to go in the playhouse and retrieve a cd case, and gave up when she saw the number of boxes she would have to move.
