I am finding it funny to try put dinner together without all my usual 'stuff'.

Tonight it's a simple taco lettuce wrap. But I forget to buy a can of tomatoes with green chillies, which I love, and didn't buy an avocado. I'm adding a can of black beans to see how that will go.

But, I have everything else. I did manage to unearth a good frying pan and a decent knife to cut the onion. I didn't buy The can of tomatoes because I have some, somewhere. I wasn't able to find them though in this sea of boxes. I have no idea why I didn't buy an avocado. Slipped my mind I guess.

The apartment is still in chaos and I don't want to just put things in cupboards. I want some sort of organization so I can find things down the road.

It was much easier when I was younger and didn't have a bad back.

It's interesting though. I thought I'd downsized but already have three bags for the thrift store.

Such is the moving process.

For me, the "fun" part of moving was the permission to eat takeout and other stuff I normally wouldn't eat.

Sometimes the fun is in the joke being on you; that where you are moving to will ultimately be a worse-off location. Oh well, enjoy the honeymoon period at least.

Actually, every morning when I wake up I am joyful to be here. So nice to have so much light!

Oh, and this complex is owned/manager by the same company as my last one. The maintenance man for that complex just stopped by. There was a whole cupboard I'd missed and he brought a box of stuff. My blender, food processor and other cooking supplies. I don't know how I missed that but am thankful to have them.

I was just so tired and in so much pain by the time I was packed up, I didn't care about anything. Being a disabled elder and trying to move is not fun.
