A Clean Slate

While packing up the last of our bedroom yesterday, I realized that when we move into Zoe Cottage and have a closet twice the size as the one we have shared for the last 16 years, I will be able to move out of the night stand, guest closet and armoire full of plastic boxes that have housed my clothes for the last few years, and into 1/2 the dresser that currently houses Ornery's clothes since I will be able to hang more of his clothes! That means we will both be hunting for things for several months after we move since none of our known dressing routines will be the same.

Other routines will change as well, and once we get moved in we'll be jumping back on the healthy living bandwagon after eating out (and poorly) for the last few months. I didn't think I would miss the sauna for the few weeks it has been apart, but sure enough, I have thought several times I would like to sit in there for a while. With the very short commute to work leaving more waking time in the day, Ornery and I hope to start walking again in the morning, and we'll have more time to spend in purposeful pursuits after work.

Tomorrow is the big day! Early we rise to load the cars of the things we will carry over that way, then the movers arrive around 8:15 or so. We close at 12:30 on Miller Manor, and go directly from there to the closing on Zoe Cottage. By then the movers should be done and ready to unload at the new place.  So far everything has gone like clockwork, and we couldn't have asked for a better team of people to work with.

I sent out a bunch of invitations yesterday for my new blog but there is a short window of opportunity to reply, so if you got an invitation and want to keep up with our story online, you'll need to act quickly.  If you didn't get one but want to keep reading, please send me an email or leave your email address in a comment so I can invite you. I won't be posting here anymore, and while I intend to keep the blog online (as well as Recipes from Miller Manor and Miller Manor Designs) I am not going to be updating any of the old blogs associated with Miller Manor.  I really am starting with a clean slate.
