A journey in boxes
I'm from a family that likes to do pictures of big transitions so I have a number of pictures of my trip from Michigan back to Delaware. When I was first going to post these, I thought this is where things would stay for a time, the majority of my stuff in storage and some with me. Instead a few boxes and clothing will be going back with me to Michigan as I find a new place to move into and then can get my other things out of storage and into a new home. Some of these have been seen before when they were posted on Twitter, but some are new as they're from my camera.
Today is also being a fun day for pictures as there's a hummingbird in my parents back garden that I've been trying to get a picture of. I managed to snap two today; both on major zoom and through the kitchen window. I keep trying to get closer but whenever I step out, it flies off. What I have makes me happy as does just knowing how often I've seen the hummingbird, which feels like a wonderful good omen.
All the images are going under a cut because there are a lot of them.
The boxes gathering in my apartment as the Olympics play in the background. My mother's keyboard is just visible.
My couch and armchair ready to be packed up, the last things in the apartment.
When I next saw my stuff it looked like this:
That is what containerized means, not what I expected. Inside the two boxes, someone had played a clever game of tetris.
The thing in blue is my couch and the two long boxes are my mattress and boxspring.
This was the second box where I discovered that they'd taken apart my desk and dining room table to save space. At learning that I had a horrible fear that they might have taken apart my nightstand which has been in the family for a long time. Thankfully they hadn't but it was one of the last things out of the box.
Everything in storage, the nightstand is intact and the one with the lovely curving lines. Now it will all wait there until I have another place and can get it shipped back to Michigan.
