There are all sorts of small milestones when moving. The early milestones include packing the first box, taking possession of the new place, moving the first things in.
Middle milestones include turning in keys at the old place, unpacking the first box, and even having a room mostly finished.
Then come the later milestones. These are the sorts of things that make you feel like you have really been living there for a while. Running the first load in the dishwasher, doing the first load of laundry are included in this list.
Today, I accomplished another item from the later milestones -- vacuuming. This is a significant later milestone, because it means, first of all, that enough of the floor is uncovered that vacuuming is both necessary and possible.
It also means that the franticness of daily survival is winding down, and there are fewer panicked moments about the necessity of getting to work before noon, fully dressed, which leaves more time to consider the stuff on the floor.
It means that the vacuum is in a known location, that it's possible to move the vacuum from where it is to the spot that needs to be vacuumed, and that enough stuff has been moved away from the walls that a plug is available.
Unfortunately, even though I've vacuumed the living room, the kitchen is still in need of much attention. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll reach the milestone of having cooked something more substantial than melted cheese sandwiches.
