It's Not Mine Anymore

It's been a very long, long day. I woke up early and drove over to pick up a table and chairs that I bought on craigslist. It was POURING. I could fit all but one chair in my car, so the guy followed me in his suv and dropped the chair off for me. I thought that was extra nice of him to do on a cold, rainy Saturday morning. After I got the extra chair in my current apartment I drove over to my new apartment. I had an appointment to get my cable, phone and internet hooked up and while I waited I put up some blinds, curtains and cleaned the bathroom. It started to feel a little homier after I did that, but it was such a dreary, rainy day-it felt like night time all day-I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that tomorrow night I'll be sleeping there. I really hope I settle in.

I came home and started to pack, but was so tired I had to take a nap. Unfortunately I got 2 phone calls, which prevented me from actually resting. When I got up, I was so overwhelmed by the task ahead of me that I couldn't do anything. It was weird. I did finally get motivated and went crazy packing up. As I write this, all of the big items are packed and ready to go. I still have to paint the wall in the kitchen and take down a couple of pictures, but those things I can do after the movers have all of my things in my new place. I have to come back here to clean anyway, so I don't have to go crazy getting every little thing all set by tomorrow. Which is good. Because as I type this, my eyes are droopy and I can hardly stay awake.

The movers come at 8am. Here's hoping it all goes well.

PS. I hurt everywhere. I need a massage.

I hate when I get overwhelmed like that and I've never been able to describe it to anybody as well as you just did. I really hope the moving goes perfectly today.

Moving is such a major undertaking that it's easy to see why you became overwhelmed like that. But just think - it's now Monday and the move is behind you, right?

Onward and upward! I'm sure the new place feels even more like home than it did when you hung the curtains and blinds!
