I have grown so fond of this chair that it sometimes feels like I am returning to the womb when I sit in it. I&#8217;ve covered it with a blanket so I don&#8217;t have to be reminded about how ugly it is. Tom&#8217;s been at his new office, setting things up, which mean I&#8217;m hope alone, with stressful work and mountains of full, heavy boxes. I scramble to do both work and unpacking. By the end of the day, I am so exhausted I could just curl up in a ball, and so yesterday i did, in my lovely chair, with an apple.<\/p>\n<p>I started to get a bit of cabin fever last night. When Tom got home, I made some easy dinner and we went out into the world to gather supplies. There are bulbs out here and there, our garbage can wouldn&#8217;t fit in the kitchen, we need a soap dish, little things like that. We went to Target and Trader Joe&#8217;s. Today Tom left the car at home and  snuck out for a lunchtime garden supply run. I went to the Portland Garden center and was completely overwhelmed with choices. I brought home a couple of blueberries, some dirt, and some seeds. When I got home, I got caught up with work and enjoyed a nice afternoon apple. I&#8217;m starting to feel a little more settled, a little less frantic with each day. Maybe by the end of next week I&#8217;ll start to normalize. I do feel a little down, like an aftershock, but I&#8217;ve discovered our backyard has plenty of bees, and it&#8217;s very sunny today. Hopefully the weather will stay like this for a little bit. Might try to set up my laptop on the back porch if there is enough warmth out there to work comfortably.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have an incredibly fugly chair that I refused to let go in this move.
