I've never been more excited than I was last night about getting to sleep in a bed. Sleeping on the floor was okay, but having a bed is so much better. And, having comfortable chairs to sit in during the day is great also. We had some camping chairs that were better than the floor, but I've never before realized how great cushioned seats are. All the rest of our stuff showed up, too, the only exception being a green broom we had, which seemed to be kind of an afterthought for the movers when we moved out, so I figured we wouldn't see it again. And, not only do we have our stuff, so far nothing seems to have been damaged, except for our rickety desk, which we'll probably replace soon. I kind of expected our glasses would be broken, but they weren't, and while we still have a few boxes in the closet to open up, it's good that all of our relatively important stuff seems to be just as as good as it was in Texas. Right now our apartment is a pretty big mess, but we've already made a lot of progress since yesterday. We still need to figure out where to put everything in the kitchen, but otherwise it's just a matter of putting things where they go and finding space for our collapsed moving boxes.
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

heheh, that's funny because in Japan people sleep on thin mattresses on the floor and usually have no chairs at all in their homes. I'll be happy to have those things too when I get back to America, but I don't really mind not having them.
I could live with a thin mattress - our mattress is a bit too thick for my preference - but I had probably an inch of blanket underneath me, if that. And sitting on the floor with a laptop is just uncomfortable. If I had a little table, it might have been okay.
I'm with you, chairs beat floors. if furnishings were made into rock paper scissors, chair would beat floor and floor would beat Inquisition-era torture devices. ...and, uh, Inquisition-era torture devices would clearly beat chair.
