Settling In

I'm happy to say that we are slowly settling in to our new place. It hasn't been easy - for one, I have too much darn stuff, and a lot of that stuff is books! (Well, and my vast Snoopy collection). But I *think* we've found a spot for just about everything and now I'm to the part where I begin to hang things on the walls. I'll also need to pick out some curtains here in the coming weeks.

I've really missed my novel. I want to dive back into it and become immersed in its setting so fully that I am living and breathing my characters and their world. But that will come.

Once I get things settled here at home, I really want to get back into blogging. I never realized how searching for a new home to live in, packing, doing all the loan paperwork, inspections, and moving could so completely take over your life. I'm ready to get back to some sense of normalcy! I have lots of books I need to review for my WW2 review blog that I want to get to soon, and I also have other article ideas. 

For now, though, I have to adhere to my mantra: one day at a time.

  1. Wow, hanging things on the wall already! I've been in my house 5 years and still have paintings waiting to be hung... Go, you. :)

    1. When I was going through all my boxes before we moved, I found a box that contained the contents of the LAST "junk drawer." We never went through it. Unbelievable what gets misplaced when you move. :)

    1. Thanks! Well, it's a little smaller than I wanted, but our daughter has only two years left of school and then we will probably be emptynesters. Then we'll have plenty of space! :D

  3. Oh yeah, I still have boxes in the basement that never got unpacked when we bought our house....13 years ago! :) Don't sweat it if you don't get everything done.

    1. It's mostly little stuff at this point - I need to go curtain shopping, which will be fun. :)
