Reunited and it feels so Good!

ETURNING from Asheville on Monday, I spent the first part of the evening unloading the SUV and then the second part of the evening stuffing it all in my room.
Now, for evidence of how shallow and nonspiritual I am: I’m overjoyed to have all my Tupperware™ and kitchen supplies. I sit down next to my Target floor lamp and pick up my Target blue or green plastic cup (which set I’ve had since 2002 or 3) and chow down on something grilled on my electric grill purchased at the Good Will store on Mission St and S. Van Ness. I *own* these things. Somehow, having them around me makes me feel rather much at home - no matter where I am. I feel I can bake with these pans (some of which I’ve had since 1984) in ways I can not with other pans. My knives. My pans. My tools. Very important.
Shallow, but important.
My books are here, too: I’m able to reach over and grab something as I need it. Wednesday night I loaned out Sara Miles’ Take this Bread and it felt really good to be able to say, “here, try this…” without having to think “OH, HELL. Is that still in storage????”
Once I get everything situated in my 12′x12′ space, I’ll be happier: I’ve recently come up with a configuration that will work, but it’s going to take a few days to get there! I’ve found a creative use for the baker’s rack, however:
