I arrived in Olympia yesterday and will spend ten days here. Kevin and I have plans to spend some time with his friends and family, meet one of my cousins from Oregon, and (of course) clean his house and pack up his belongings for shipping and transport to Anderson. We have come up with some fairly creative options for moving; and now that I have gotten here and done an initial walk-through I am less concerned than I was in the first place.
I should give a nice link back to Moving Box Seattle, which offers free shipping on boxes and other moving supplies to numerous counties throughout Washington. We will have more boxes than we need. (I’ll ship the rest back to Anderson and use them for my house.) I should also say that Southwest Airlines was quite good to me for the most part. I cannot reach the overhead bins, and I gain new insight about packing and new respect for flight attendants and baggage handlers every time I fly. In a future post, I’ll post some tips I’ve found for making things a bit more manageable.
For people who enjoy such tidbits, last night Kevin made chili for dinner. His recipe uses cinnamon, and I have never had such a thing. It was mouth-watering! We will be having that again! Tonight we will be having pasta–I’ll be cooking this time.
On that note, I’m off to do some work. Stay tuned for more adventures. The real fun is now beginning.
