Packing up

We're packing up to move out of the apartment we've lived in for three years. Much more than not is going into storage since our NYC apartment will be half the size of our current space. We've been spoiled with the amount of space we've had, and, as they say, we've managed to fill it with stuff. We'll be in the city for certain for a year, then we'll determine what happens with all of our stuff after that. It's too much to decide what to take and what to leave without needing to determine what among the stuff staying will be sold/donated. We'll deal with that later.

In our current apartment we have an office. I know. In our NYC apartment the living room will also be doubling as a dining room and office. I'm doing my best to follow Thoreau's advice of simplify, simplify, simplify (though moving to a big city may not have been his first step). I spent the day today organizing my desk, which, beginning Friday, will constitute my office. Next up, books. Oh boy.
