My hands hurt and I can't find my underwear...

I got a jump on the workroom before the official move date.

The move happened. I dutifully filled out the questionnaire on the moving company's site, but there was no checkbox for "slightly obsessive multi-craft practitioner.  What would typically take about 4 hours (what a normal person would have in a two bedroom apartment) took 7-1/2.
Most of my belongings have been transferred to the house from the apartment, but I am by no means moved in.
I've been pretty organized on past moves, but I think the surreal feeling that I really do own a house all my own got me discombobulated (oh wow! I spelled that right on the first try. :))

Gabby provided "feedback" while I assembled an IKEA desk and chair.

So last night, I wandered around, wondering where my toothbrush was, only slightly curious about my alarm clock (I've got today off), and very pleased that I knew exactly where the coffee and coffee maker were for the morning.

Then it dawned on me--I haven't seen the basket with my socks and underwear... I'm sure I packed it, and remember seeing it at some point during the move, but I may have foolishly put in it the closet with my files and a few fragile things I'd thought best to move myself (which I, of course, forgot). Not a huge deal, since I will go back this afternoon after (I really, really hope), my internet is up and running.

Now to get some stuff put away...

The insanity of my new house right now.

This may actually happen...

All through the process, this felt like just another project. I've done plenty of projects: sewing, knitting, technology, even building a house. I like process and projects(most of the time): planning, choosing the materials, watching the progress of something being created.

Now that I'm only less than a week away from taking possession and moving in, it seems like a dream.
The place is looking beautiful and considering everything that could go wrong, it has been smooth sailing. A lot of credit goes to K.C. Crane, my build manager. He's been on top of things and quick to jump on the few things I found.

I took a few videos last week while I checked on progress, but they don't seem to play here (I'll figure something out). I've had the final walk through and sign off, and the closing is tomorrow!!! The movers are coming on Thursday, so be this time next week I expect to be settled in pretty well, especially with so many friends planning to come help me unpack.

For those who know me well it will come as no surprise that I already have a list of projects planned: painting, new interior doors, hardware, new faucets, trim.
