It's the little things

We're attempting to fill the last quadrant of our first PODS container and have mostly furniture to go. We made a list tonight of what should go in this container and what is left for the next one, and started triage on the remaining space.

In the end, we hit on a plan that seemed fairly innocuous but turned out to be ingenious. Stacking one cabinet on top of another made sense because it maximized use of all three dimensions.

Just turned out that it took up every inch of the POD's height, and then some. We tried to fit a cloth in between to keep them from scratching each other and couldn't.

Small victory as we attempt to get this thing off our street and move onto the next one. Still remaining: three beds (one more we'll leave behind), three dressers, a couch, electric piano, rocking chair, recliner, kitchen set ...

Someone tell Mom I wrote a column.

Hey, mom has read it already! I also know the AL won because dad was whooping and hollering at !2:37 AM. Some boys never grow up! Amelia is sitting on my lap kicking the keyboard as I type this.

Hi Amelia. We'll be seeing you soon!

Kicking isn't so bad. Colleen has an obsession with the up arrow that is growing tiresome. You'll be able to experience this yourself in another 11 days. :)
