Which is why today was a tough day for me. Last night, Adam and I decided to buckle down and get to the business of undoing our lives. We made a solid to-do list, and Adam got to work posting our bulkier belongings on craigslist. Among the items on the sale list were our bed, dressers and couch... All of which sold today. Now, the dressers I have a minimal sentimental attachment to, but the bed?!?! Our couch!?!? That is the couch from my second year of college. It has seen many good times. And the bed?! It was OUR first bed!
So, naturally, this is hard for me. I can't do my usual mourning for my lost possessions. I didn't get to mull over the last time I would sleep in my bed. I didn't get to savor the last time we would eat dinner on our couch. And I didn't get to organize my clothes before they became a massive pile on the floor after our dresser was taken... which is a whole other issue.
Now Adam and I will be sleeping on the floor for the next month. Can't complain... It's clearly what we set out to do. But I didn't get to say goodbye to the lumpy couch, the hard bed and the broken dressers. Maybe it's for the best. They are just things after all.
So here's to sleeping on the floor, sitting on the floor, and generally learning how multifunctional the floor can be.
