Settle Down Now!
If I had a $1 for every time I have uttered the phrase “Settle down now!” I would be immensely wealthy! I am the one needing to settle down these days. I am actually settling in more than down. I am pretty much settled into the main parts of the house. I now have to focus on my own bedroom. I have about a billion boxes of books to sort through. I am going to pull every book we own out and separate them all according to genre. Then I am going to catalog them all and place them in their corresponding box. So, now I will know that my social work theory books are in box #4, and I hope to have each box listed by author and title.
This nice home we are staying in will be a wonderful place to stage our next move, and the moves after that. My goal is to not carry anything with us that we really don’t need. The reason I am going to box the books and catalog them is so they can remain usable and accessible, but then I don’t have to buy a ton of bookshelves to lug around with us. They have been packed, but it was frustrating trying to pull out a book you needed or wanted to read.
Why do I have the feeling that being a military wife will cause me to soar to new heights of anal retentiveness?
I mainly posted today to let you all know that I have not abandoned post. I am still just trying to get things situated and all moved in. I hope to be back to a more normal schedule next week. Why does typing that out make me laugh hysterically? Normal? Ha! I would settle for semi-normal! We’ll see what the weekend brings our way.
Normal? What’s normal? That’s a good one. Good luck settling down. Just as long as you don’t stay down.
