The Exodus Is Here

Well, the time has come. Phase One still needs a few final touches to be fully ready to live in, but for efficiency's sake, we're moving things over just as fast as we can. The Shack feels cluttered, yet empty in its current limbo state. My room is pretty much down to the bare essentials... the majority of my clothes have even found their way over to the new place (I had to go in there to find a belt this morning!).

Life is pretty nuts right now, starting school at the same time as moving and all. However, it's also very exciting. I can hardly wait to sleep in my new room (which looks pretty great - I picked decent colours if I do say so myself).

So far the only mishap has been caused by me. As I was carrying a "Joy of Origami" puzzle that has been in a frame and up in our various houses for a long time, I tripped on one of the many tricky spots around here. I fell forward, with the frame landing directly on the top corner of our temporary staircase leading into the new house. The puzzle, remarkably, was unharmed (as was I). The frame was not so lucky - it broke in a fantastic crash/shattering that I sort of wished had been captured on video.

Other than that, things just keep on being ferried over. I have already dealt with our stereo system and TV - those two things are being combined as a space saving measure, which I think could turn out pretty well. My next duty is the precise reason I chose to write this entry at this moment. I will be dismantling our computer system... probably making this the last ever blog entry from the Shack. Updates will continue for awhile re. Shack destruction, continuing construction, etc. However, "My Life In The Shack" will soon become a pretty invalid title.

Amazing.
