We're at my folks' house, about to go pick up a UHaul and drive back to NYC with assorted furniture (table, chairs, dresser, a bookcase, and assorted odds and ends). The move is progressing, although there is still a significant quantity of assorted Stuff at the old apartment- it's hitting that "well, we've done the bulk, but there's so much random junk to move still- it's overwhelming" stage of the move. I think once we have this furniture in, and the new place starts to take shape, it'll start feeling better.
Still- bonuses of coming out here, in terms of stuff (on top of the bonuses of seeing my parents, and having a lovely break-fast of hot-and-cold salad and stuffed grape leaves with them)- 1. a small sewing machine, which previously belonged to my aunt's mother (now I just need to learn how to use it!), 2. a decorative item that my parents had on their walls for years, that is quite attractive, and some very nice curtain rods. 3. a mirror I'd forgotten that I owned, and 4. a standing clothes hanger/rod of the right height for shirts, etc. This should allow us to fit more long things in the closets, without pushing all of H's shirts and jackets to the far side of the apartment.
Item MIA: a pair of curtains my folks got me for my JTS dorm room, which I'd been hoping to hang in our living room. We'll see if/when they turn up. Either they'll turn up here, or it will turn out that they're somewhere in our current apartment, I imagine- but we'll see... They may not turn up until too late.
