“House-moving stress” is going to last a while until we have finished assembling furniture and discarding unnecessary stuff.
When I am stuck in my analysis, my data looks so mundane and seems insignificant, but I do need to assemble all of the examples into my framework, just like putting furniture together. This is so symbolic of my chaos. Every day this week, I went into the living room and started assembling the ‘physical’ furniture, although I had to work on writing my draft. We’ve assembled a bookcase, a TV stand, a sofa with storage, a dining table and six chairs.
Luca told me that when he went into the living room and sat on the sofa after having a shower, he had tears in his eyes because the apartment is now a real home. The words like home and family have very special meanings. They are something we would like to prioritise.
