moving sucks

by

that was the longest, hottest and most exhausting two days of rest i’ve ever had in my entire life.
my legs look like a dalmation’s what with all the little bruises on them. i sweated enough to water my african violet for a month. the boys lost a part to my futon, so it’s kind of gerry-rigged for the moment. i’ve gotten all the kitchen stuff into the kitchen and the computer hooked up (but not online ’til the cable guy comes tonight), but the rest of the place is boxland and will probably stay that way until after i get back from holidays.
sleeping in a bed in a bedroom was interesting, though. i didn’t sleep well for lots of reasons: my body was really sore, i wasn’t used to the bed, it was beastly hot, i’m not used to all the noises in the new place and my mind was just going a mile-a-minute thinkingthinkingthinking. needless to say i’m bloody exhaused today.
the plan for this week: clean the old apartment, finish getting the new place liveable, buy stuff for trip, pack, hand over keys to old landlord, sleep. quite possibly in that order.

    yeah!!
    sorry but i don’t have much sympathy for it being so “hot” on your moving day. you didn’t have to suffer the wrath of a southern sun. :)
    glad to hear you finally stopped cleaning and moved all your stuff in!!

    true, but it’s all a matter of acclimation. 90 is above what we’re used to here, so it’s a real shock to our collective system. a humidex of 95 puts most of us into a comatose state. then there’s the climbing of the Very Steep Stairs to take into consideration!

    a) i’ll take some damn pictures tonight.
    2) why are you using my email address?

    ok ok. you’re right. i just have a heard time admitting having adjusted to the beastly heat of south central texas. also, you got us on the stairs. no stairs made this move the easiest we’re ever had. so, hats off to our canadian (well almost) friend.

    p.s. i wish you still lived in minnesota so i could meet you next week!

    yeah. me too.
    i’m confused (happens easily), are you native canadian? i thought i remembered something about you applying for citizenship.
    mpls is such a pretty city.

    Because you complained you didn’t get properly notified if I used a fake address, and I already get more than enough spam at MY addresses. :p I figured yours is already on the page. ;)

    oh, it’s okay. comments go to gmail now and bypass the sneaky spamassassin at fubsy. feel free to fake it up at will. ;)
