"To me, glamour isn't about being sparkly." - Tori Amos



The movers are coming next Friday. Weird! I’m trying to enjoy my bed as long as I can until I’m back to my air mattress island in the middle of the floor. I’m also using all of the kitchen utensils I can before I go back to my box of plastic Fred Meyer silverware. I literally have used each one of our knives in the last few days just to make sure they know they are loved before I send them away for three months until the big delivery sometime this fall.

We have several boxes stored in both of our parents’ houses. They charged us a nominal storage fee of one Red Hook Brewery lunch last week. Best storage deal in Seattle. I am looking forward to seeing what I thought was important enough to store for two years. I think there is a box of sports bras. But, really, if I’ve survived for two years without them, do I really need them?

Tomorrow is my one month countdown to home. I have a new post-it list of things I’m supposed to do before I leave that I don’t want to do. This includes sending in paperwork, making phone calls, and visiting my friends at my favorite cantonal population office. It’s so glamorous to be me, particularly since as of next Friday all food I consume has to be able to be cut with a plastic knife.
