I started moving into my new house a week ago. Many here have posted in the past about what a pain moving is and I'm not going to be an exception. Fortunately I didn't have that much furniture to move. For the last several days I've been bringing the rest of my stuff over one carload at a time from my old house. Ironically, all I really have left to get is my HI collection.
The first night was an experience for me. I had worked midnights the night before and ended up sleeping from 8:00PM to 3:00AM. I hadn't brought any of my khukuris or guns with me. Even though Carrier Mills is a pretty quiet town, I had some feelings of being naked in the self defense department as I was getting up. I watched some TV on the regular stations, being a bit surprised that there were programs on at that time of night. I had some cereal, not knowing that mom had already brought over the silverware. I ended up substituting a measuring cup for a spoon.
Fast forward to the present. Most of my stuff is arranged where its going to be for the forseeable future. My guns are here in the closet and my WWII is on the table by my bed. I have two spare bedrooms to put extra stuff in. One bedroom is going to be my HI room. Maybe I'll find a good deal on a few tables to help with the arrangement. A couple of tables with khuks in spiral patterns with my UB Salyan and Yangdu Special in the center would be a nice touch.
Still have things to do. Still need to change my mailing address for some of my magazine subscriptions and credit card. A laundry basket, toaster, and pasta strainer are on my shopping list. I'll be heading over to the courthouse in the town nearby to update my voter registeration status. There's a half grown black and white kitten that hides under my shed. Perhaps some catfood and time in the backyard will make it mine.
Is it just me or is Munk starting to rub off on me.
