This will give you an idea of what we were up to yesterday:
Not pictured:
- the movers from Boyd Moving & Storage. I was really impressed by their level of care and service. If you need movers, call Boyd. Seriously. These guys were great.
- my dusty, stinky old self
- the painful trip to Ikea to find last-minute curtains last night, after a day of moving
- the cinnamon bun
- the painful installation of the aforementioned curtains at 10:30 p.m. (Thank you Mark.) Do not talk to me about cutting and hemming because it’s not happening right now. (Even with iron-on hems.)
- the trip back to the house to pick up some things we left behind to grab later (cleaning supplies, milk out of the fridge, stuff for lunches)
- ANOTHER trip back to the house because someone forgot to pack the electric toothbrush
- the fact that the apartment bathroom doesn’t have a single electrical outlet
- a sleepless dog
- the piles of stuff surrounding me as I type this: teetering towers of cardboard, the miles of packing paper, the scarcity of Things We Need For General Day to Day Use (“Where’s the soap?” etc etc.)
Today I need to finish packing up our pantry and bring it to the apartment, and I need to finish unpacking too. And check a backlog of emails. And eat. And buy groceries. And COOK SOMETHING. Gah.
p.s. My latest post for the UsedEverywhere blog is a bit about the move too. Specifically, I’m wondering how many colanders you have. You can give me your answer over here. :)
