Well it has truly begun. Today friends came and took 99% of our furniture and I am typing this while sitting on the floor because we now have no chairs in our house. We are at that truly obnoxious state of packing when you have most of it done and what is left is random and problematic and requires mental energy to deal with. The decisions are endless and we are spent. I just want it all to go away and it is taking everything I have to just do a little bit at a time and not crawl in a hole and hide.
Our friends brought us a lovely dinner from their Cafe (Cafe Natura)..cous cous, a jacket potato loaded with roasted vegetables, delicious potato wedges roasted in olive oil and herbs, a veggie pasta bake with bowtie pasta that Gryffin called butterflies, and a cold cabbage salad. This is just one of the many meals they've provided for us these past two weeks in exchange for the furniture and bits and bobbles of things we've given them. [Their son Anaua is pictured here in the midst what remains in our living room....tired out from all the heavy lifting.] The remaining food, spices and small items go to another friend of ours here who also has a small child and we feel joy in the release and giving of our things to those we've come to know and care about. We have been very fortunate with gifts of household items from our family in the past and enjoy seeing the circle continue as we pay it forward.
