Tomorrow is my birthday. This year instead of a physical gift, I asked Shane if we could spend an entire day unpacking and getting settled in our new/old house which we moved into in June. The gift—in addition to the manual labor and time—was that I got to set the priorities, since Shane and I don’t always see eye to eye on what those are.
What we do see eye to eye on, is that we’re tired of living in a semi-unpacked state after moving around and being unsettled for more than 3 years. My parents took the kids for the day which is really the only way to get anything done. And we tackled my list, which was as follows:
- Build shelved in Sid’s closet
- Hang art
- Finish unpacking office
- Extra credit: zero boxes
We got all of #3 and part of #2 done, and then we went out to the Superlux. The Superlux is the movie theatre that’s kind of like flying first class, and is also probably the closest we’ll ever come to flying first class. For dinner we had popcorn, a cocktail each, fries and chips with guacamole. Oh, and Blade Runner 2.
