Moving back to Minnesota has been tougher on me than I expected. It's not Minnesota itself, of course, it's just the fact that everything in my world has changed once again and, apparently (I have learned), I have a hard time adjusting to change. But, like before, I seriously wasn't expecting it.
Like, when we moved to Colorado over three months ago, I thought it wasn't going to be a big deal. I was excited and happy about it. But it was a big deal.
Same thing with moving back. I didn't think it would be a big deal.
But it is.
I like to create my own space. I feel like I'm getting in the way (which we are, how could we not be?) living in somebody else's space (although I am eternally grateful for it and am not trying to be ungrateful AT ALL).
I like to have my own kitchen. Being in the kitchen making our food is really important to me. I think I spend more time in their than I realize. I should just find out where those darn knives are packed and take them out already. As well as my food processor. And my blender. And my whisk.
I don't like having our lives all packed up in boxes (or, more accurately, Hefty garbage bags).
Blah, blah, blah. That's it for today.

I'd feel (uh, do feel) the same way, Allison. Hate change. Love my kitchen. Apparently hating change does not exempt one from having it thrust upon them. Nor does it stop some of us from thrusting it upon our own selves. Well, crap. At least you get growth, somewhere down the line ;-)Want to see you soon!
I'm not a fan of change, either. I don't even change things that clearly need to be changed.
I think you should totally get out your kitchen stuff (though politely ask your BIL first - so that he can, of course, say go for it). It's not much to pack back up and it will make you feel more in control and settled...
I would definitely go for unpacking the knives.
And moving is ALWAYS a big deal.
But, as with any change, we are adaptable, and usually take about 3 weeks to get comfortable with a new routine/habit.
((hugs))
