Emptiness

At first I felt like I was packing away a lot of stuff in the house with no visible results. Of course that was a few weeks ago when I was packing "optional" stuff like kitchen stuff you use just once in a while or the bookshelf of books that we never read. But then things accelerated fast: move this furniture out for this contractor, clear our closet for that, and next thing you know,

We've got our first empty room.

Of all rooms to go first is the playroom. Followed by a close second of the dining room. I never got a chance to do a video tour of the house when it looked like ours because like this whole move, the packing kind of crept up on us. Our open house is not for another week but staging is Monday with photos and technically going on the market on Tuesday. So we're down to the wire now and the start of the empty rooms.
