Empty!

Finally, two months after we moved into this apartment the mountain of boxes in the living room is gone! 

This is the story:  my plan during hose two months was to go through each box and make sure there was nothing in any of them that I did not want to take home to Vermont.  I did get some of the boxes emptied but there were others I just did not get to.

Several nights ago was a bad sleep night:  woke up at 10:30, did a little work on the computer, did a little reading, went back to bed, got back up ten minutes later, and FINALLY I DID THE JOB!

By this time it was nearly 2:00 AM but I did it anyway.  I removed the security stick from the sliding glass door, unlocked the door, opened the door, opened the screen door, and reveled in the refreshing night air. I don't know what the temperature was but I considered dragging a chair out to sit there for a while then gave myself a quick slap and started moving the boxes.  Whole job--maybe 15 minutes!  Why did I wait so long?

There is nothing like an empty path between the living room and the dining table!  Plus, bonus,  now when I wake up in the early morning, I put on my headphones, push the lightning connector into my phone, go to my scripture-reading schedule, start listening, and get in 1,000 to 3,000 steps before breakfast...or if I am honest, before I go back to bed.  Did I mention EARLY morning? 

Some day maybe sleep will smooth out and I will sleep all night, every night. I hope.
