I wrote this a few days ago, but forgot to publish it.
Today marks the 31st and last full day we’ll spend in temporary housing. I am extremely grateful Amazon provided us with the ability to settle in over time, but I am so very ready to get into something more permanent. I feel like we really haven’t been able to “get on with life” before now, mostly because it’s hard not to feel like you’re just on an extended business trip when living in a furnished corporate apartment. As much as I’ve been preaching a simpler life with less stuff lately, I am now keenly aware there are things I’m not ready to live without. Included below is a list of things I’m really looking forward to having back. Is this a bit materialistic? Probably, but it’s just not home without them.
- King size Sleep Number bed
- DirecTV hooked up to a big ass LED LCD TV and a proper universal remote
- Knife set, including the ridiculously sharp ceramic chef’s knife
- Drinking cups/glasses
- Proper cookware and cooking utensils
- HEPA air filter we use at night, mostly for white noise
- French press coffee maker
- Printer/Scanner (I rarely print, but it’s been VERY necessary with everything going on.)
- A “place” for everything; I’m obsessed with order, duh
- A routine
