The Boxes That are Left

Due to our work schedules, today is the first time we're in the house during the daylight hours (not just morning) with things actually moved in. It's nice to experience that.

I'm not one of those math types, but there's probably some "tailing off" graph that could work for "Boxes Still Not Unpacked After a Move." At the beginning, the line drops really fast while you unpack all the important day-to-day stuff. But as time goes on, the line flattens out, always approaching zero but never quite getting there.

Those piles of not-yet-organized possessions always remind me of little refugee camps. The tissue boxes and the Legos are huddled together in a corner, the power strips are making small talk with the paint tubes and spare towels, and they're all trying to figure out What the Hell Just Happened Here.
