Carsten's gone

Well, Carsten has officially moved to Freiburg.  He left in the middle of the afternoon, later than he hoped, to begin his 5 hour drive there.  He is staying at a hotel tonight and after he begins his new job tomorrow he will go to pick up the keys to our new place.  Speaking of our new place, as I look around at my neat piles, the boxes I have packed and what still needs to be dealt with I am wondering if our new place is big enough.  Sure, in theory it should be large enough, but looking at all of our clothes, shoes, books and CDs I can't help but wonder how this will all fit into our new, much smaller, apartment.  It looks like it is time for me to become creative with organizing the new place.  But I am getting ahead of myself here.  I need to wait two more days for the movers to even come.  For the next couple of days it is just me and the cats waiting patiently for the next chapter in this adventure.
