Input jacks and fresh lilacs

[sovay]

Our home is accreting slowly, less dustily so far than the disk of a galaxy. We have all of our furniture, but not yet in all the right places. We have too many boxes piled on too many boxes containing too many things we need to unpack. Almost all of the fragile things are still in storage and almost all of my clothes are still at my parents' house. We are not actually sure what happened to our quilt. All of the wall sockets in this apartment are in peculiarly inconvenient locations and we need so many more lamps than we we presently own. There is no art up on the walls. Nonetheless, this afternoon we anchored the extant bookshelves to the wall and our mattress and box spring were delivered, so that even without the frame—it's still in transit—we have been able to construct a proper bed. It is here depicted with Doppel-Abbie and its signature blanket of a mother cat with her kittens, to which our own kittens have added their embroidery over the years. We need more rugs. We will learn to live here.

Glad thing are coming along for you!

Aw, well done on the progress - and good look with all the further migration! <3

I have discovered that there are rechargeable battery-operated lamps, which take us back a century or two to the era of Argand lamps, and the idea that lamps are moveable, rather than tied to sockets.

Yay! I hope that the rest of the move goes smoothly and that your new place quickly become a comfortable and lovely home.

I'm glad it's starting to become a residence. So much work, but it'll be worth it in the end!

These transitional stages are so muddlesome. I love the accretion of the disk of a galaxy as an analogy. I hope your quilt may reappear, and that is an excellent blanket.

...do you need spare lamps? Because I am looking at at least two that we never use (neither of which to my knowledge contain any unhelpful or malicious spirits.)
