nooooooo.... this is not from today!! its from xactly 3 years ago... i actually intended to look for a picture of tim looking like a doctor (see yesterdays comments; the tim doctor post will have to wait a bit), but then thought; hmmm, lets look what pictures i took 3 years ago (i.e. during our first months on boston). and this is what i found..... isnt that a sign.. somehow? here we had already signed the lease and all, the place was "ours" (oh, how excited we were!), and it would be waiting for us until july 1st, 2010. they painted 2 walls for us for free, so the wall to the left is now actually light purple.
the apartment now does not look like that just yet, although a LOT of furniture has disappeared over the past few days. basically, the living room now only has the couch and dinner table left (im so disappointed nobody wants our table, its the nicest piece of furniture we have! :) ) there is a lot of random stuff standing around, and everything we want to ship is now in boxes (or so i hope). tomorrow the moving company comes to pick them up. it makes me so very nervous!! did i pack it all right?! arent the boxes too heavy? wont they fall apart during the move? will everything left really fit in my suitcase? is it enough...? did i make the right choices..? did i pack something essential (which i now wont see for the coming 8-12 weeks)? did i forget something? it goes on and on and on in my head like that. i know, i know, there are much bigger worries in the world, but currently those are my worries.... pffffttt....
ok, i guess its time for bed..... good night!

I resisted mentioning earlier that I'd happily buy your table if I were closer...
I barely slept for days and days before we last moved. Even lists didn't help. The brain just doesn't want to stop processing.
Print that picture of Tim from yesterday. Maybe you can hang it up if he has his own office.
A stressful time for you and to have all the mess around would make me mad. Do you already have a home in the Netherlands to send the stuff to?
It never stops, all the boxes have to be unpacked again once....
Your apartment has a lot of windows looking out into the tree foliage. It must have been a good place to live during your time in America.
@kay; good idea! i guess it will be a while before he has his own office though... :)
@biebkriebels; yes... the unpacking will be a mess... all boxes are loaded the same; clothes, books, shoes. some kitchen stuff. no organization at all, just so to divide the weight etc.... and yes, there is already a place in amsterdam. at least we dont have to worry about that!
@jack; we certainly have the best apartment in the complex! closest to the subway, overlooking the pool, no neighbors on either side, only below us. and the extra windows on the side, 2 in the living room and 1 in the kitchen were the reason we did not hesitate when we saw the place!! and yes... lots of green.
Oh, my! What a lot of memories you are going to take with you. Happy journey!!
