I did most of my moving around in my late-teens through my early-30s. Seasonal work involved moving 2-3 times a year with household goods in pickup trucks (each had a steel camper shell). Then a few years with a travel trailer. Some apartments, crew houses, and dorms along the way. Fewer but bigger moves once there were inherited family antiques. Unless one is wiped out by a flood, fire, or tornado, stuff has a major influence on how we move and where it fits. How does the new place line up with the contents you have in the current house?

Food prep today on several fronts. Garden stuff that needs to be used before it spoils, marinara sauce because I've run out, the same with my crispy pecan batch. This morning I mailed a few cups of my granola to a friend who wants to try it in her continuing goal toward gut health. I may can (process in a hot water bath) a few whole tomatoes today, a pint at a time using the asparagus steamer so it doesn't involve the huge stockpot and a steam room in the kitchen. It's a point of pride to say I canned tomatoes each year, even if only a few. It means frequent washups between projects. Canning jars will go through the dishwasher in a few minutes.

I still have my eye on clearing horizontal surfaces this weekend, but it hasn't happened yet.
