only one house key

at my peak during the past few months i had 3 house keys on my key chain. i was using all 3 of them regularly. 3 house keys are too many. now i just have 1. hallelujah.

the past 3 weeks for me have been a haze of packing, sorting, and moving. i packed up my sister's kitchen for her, and moved my stuff out of her apartment, then i promptly moved onto packing up my own stuff, and sorting, throwing at my trailer. this week was the actual move. it involved lots of trips between my trailer and my parent's house, a storage unit, and a couple trips from GR. (i do have to say that i excelled at getting rid of stuff. i was ruthless...and i'm pretty impressed with how little i have to store!)

all in all its been a successful week. the moves happened. i'm finding places for my stuff in my old/new room at my parents house. ang is getting settled in her new room. i am exhausted. mentally, physically...its been a tiring couple weeks.

i was telling a friend that i didn't feel like i'd been very productive the past few weeks in doing "Word Made Flesh" stuff. then i realized i was wrong. sure, i still have a long list of stuff i haven't done (like writing that book review for a book i finished over a month ago), and i haven't read much this week, i fell off the "teach yourself Bengali bandwagon" months ago, i need to update my mailing list, and still haven't finalized my budget....but tonight i only have 1 house key...and this my friends has been an epic journey, and a very necessary step for me to move to Kolkata.

so here's to having 1 house key!
