You know how when you're a kid and your parents get some new appliance and let you play with the box? Maybe that was just my parents, but seriously, I made a wicked mini-house out of a refrigerator box attached to a dishwasher box when I was like 10. It had wallpaper, window treatments, picture frames, I'm pretty sure there was even a shelf or two.
My life right now feels like the box fort, but I can't leave the fort and go to a normal sized house. Our apartment is about 650 square feet, so there's very little "unused space" to begin with. We have a total of about 10 square feet of floor space that is NOT covered with boxes or furniture we're trying to sell off.
Seriously, I mean look at this!
And that photo was taken while sitting on the couch!
Less than a week and the real test comes: can it all fit into the truck we rented?
In other news, I had a job interview for a middle school Language Arts and Social Studies position at one of the Portland Public Schools today. I'm really excited about the possibility of working at this particular school, it seems like a really good fit for me. I think the interview went really well. It was a phone interview (thankfully not a video chat, so no one else would have to be subjected to the horror of the box fort). They said I'd hear about it tomorrow already, so cross your fingers!
