Moving day, and I don’t mean the Saturday of the Masters! It’s just
gotten real, y’all!
We’ve lived in the same house for almost 26 years, accumulating all manner of kitchen utensils, cookbooks, strange hats, favorite scarves, teaching tools and miscellaneous essentials for life that are not essential at all. Our hope is that we can find a furnished apartment in Milan, but alas, in Italy that can simply mean that we have basic appliances such as a stove and a small refrigerator and light fixtures. I’m a bit nervous about my first responsibility upon arrival, which is to find a place to live. We have a spot to rest our heads for 5 weeks upon arrival, but after that, it’s on me!
