Unpacking

[days_unfolding]

I had a self-esteem moment. I realized that I accomplished everything that I set out to do last fall (well, I'm still wrapping up the move, but I'll get it done). Move the things that I wanted from my aunt's house? Check. Move the things that my mom wanted from my aunt's house? Check. Get good enough grades in my classes to continue with the

You sure have a lot of reasons to be proud of yourself! I am very much in awe of all the things you managed to do since last fall, all on your own! Kudos!

Thanks!

You could also buy a box and store your utensils in that box in a cupboard. A see-through plastic box is always a good choice because you can see what's inside.

There was a shallow drawer in which I put some utensils, but I'll keep the clear box in mind for others. Thanks.

You have accomplished a TON and you SHOULD be proud of yourself! Way to go!!!

When Zen moved in with me, trying to find a place for kitchen utensils was (and continues to be!) a process. Are there cabinets where you could store stuff like baking things in bins?

Thanks!

There are some lower cabinets, but I need to unpack my pots and pans first to see how much room they take.

The Apple Watch has motivated me to keep mobile and I really think it helps. The watch doesn't set any step goals, but it does count steps and I set a personal goal of at least 10,000 every day, which, with my sedentary lifestyle, usually requires some kind of a walk to meet that goal. When I was in Cranbrook last time, I got into the habit of walking to work (about 2 km.) even in the snow. I'm hoping I can keep that up when I return because that knocked off a lot of steps each day. The thought of aging scares me at times, but I've resolved not to go down without a fight.

I kind of covet an Apple Watch, but I don't have an I-Phone. I think that Google might have come up with an equivalent?

I got winded carrying a stack of books one block, so I have a long way to go. But I need to get in the habit of walking and work up.

well done! I'd like to see a picture of your living room when it's all set up :)

I'll take pictures when it's set up.
