Wow. It’s been a while hasn’t it? My apologies. We’ve been rather busy. And when I say busy I mean we finally burrowed ourselves out from under the 60 moving boxes that nearly swallowed our apartment whole.
That’s right, moving boxes. Finally, after one month of living with an air mattress, a single folding chair and a slightly schizophrenic Boston Terrier, the moving company arrived with almost all of furniture. They then promptly left us living in an episode of Hoarders (See above picture).
It’s only when you move you realize how much stuff you have. And it’s only when boxes need to be unpacked that you realize all that stuff is completely unnecessary. Who needs crystal chardonnay wine glasses when you can drink straight from the bottle? Our large kitchen knife did prove useful however as Lisa macheted a trail from the bedroom to the bathroom. I was fully willing to accept this lifestyle (and the absolute certainty of being buried alive under a collapsing tower of boxes) until, miraculously, Lisa single-handily unpacked and decorated our apartment in several days. The place looks amazing, and it remains a mystery as to where she disposed of all the cardboard boxes. They just up and vanished, along with the decomposing corpse of our “relocation consultant”.
And just as I was starting to miss the clutter our first visitors showed up, and much to London’s delight, the air mattress made a return to our living room floor. In 4 days Tony and Amy managed to do and see more of San Francisco then we have in 3 months. At one point Amy directed me out of the maze I call downtown. We had a blast with them – our bill from the wine bar serves as proof. We’re now looking forward to hosting the rest of our friends and family.
Also, if you see a large, oak entertainment center, please let Orion Moving know – as they can’t seem to locate it anywhere.
Highlights from the past month:
-Lisa and I saw an amazing live performance of Point Break, Keanu Reeve’s most touching and sincere film.
-We went horse back riding…somewhere I can’t recall
-We are now able to walk up a hill without the need of an inhaler
-The website I’ve been working on for 5 Gum finally launched (5react.com)
-London came out of the closet
