ZOMG TIRED
Feb. 17th, 2007 11:25 pmI got up at 8:45 this morning. It is now 11:13 pm. All the hours between then and now have been filled with moving fun.
If by fun, you mean torture. If by torture, you mean mind-numbing excruciating pain. If by... well, I'll stop there.
I had forgotten how much I hate moving. It's been four years since I've moved anywhere, and time truly does dull the memory. But hey, everything I own is now under one roof. A new roof, btw. That got done on Thursday and Friday, although the dumpster is still out front til Monday. But roof = new, so rain = not so depressing anymore.
To say the day did not go smoothly would be an understatement. Scott had trouble getting the truck, and we were an hour late getting started. We'd reserved a dolly, but they didn't have one so we had to go buy one at Lowe's. We got back to the apartment to discover that the freight elevator was broken. We took small stuff down the other elevator during the two hours it took them to get that fixed, and then loaded the rest of my stuff. It took us til 4 pm to load all my stuff in the truck; it took us 45 minutes to unload it all at the house. I am still not sure how that's possible. Then we went back to the apartment to get Scott's stuff loaded, and it started to sprinkle. Luckily, the actual rain went north of us, but for a few minutes we were panicking. Finally, we got his stuff loaded, and I put the last load of my stuff in the car and headed for home. It's very weird to think that this is home now, and that the Roosevelt is just someplace I used to live.
It occurred to me while I was eating my dinner that this is the first time I've lived in a house since I was 17. I'm 31 and a half. That's a lot of apartment living.
I've got loads of unpacking to do, and so much shopping - my to-do lists have their own lists at this point - but of course I'm not going to get any of that done this week. I have to go to Oregon for work :( Oh, well, I can always shop online :) (Note for to-do list: fix mailbox so that postal worker will have place to put online shopping purchases) I have managed to get my bed put together and made up, and now I shall go face-plant into it. I would love to take a shower first, but that would require me to hang the shower curtain rod, and I have passed the point in which I should be handling power tools.
So now I go sleep. Ttyl.
