I'm back!
Ok, so we dropped by the old place with the laptop a few times to check email (& look things up on-line), so a few of you heard from me then. But I'm *very* excited to have the internet & tv hooked up. These apartments can't get DSL, so we were scrambling around on-line to compare prices & figure out the best alternative (dial-up is not an option!), and it took a few days longer than expected. The phones will also be switched over today finally (we called over a week ago & this was the earliest they would do it?).
Speaking of the laptop, I guess it is feeling homesick. When we take it to the old place, we can go on-line & everything works fine. Anywhere else, it gets the Blue Screen of Death. Lovely.
Goodbye old townhouse! I can't say I'm too sad about leaving, after the whole debacle.
(That is what a drought will do to your lawn)
Are you as sick of the move as I am?
I was hoping we would have most everything put away in a week, about the same amount of time it took to box & move everything, but that is tomorrow & there is stuff everywhere! See this picture of my workroom from earlier in the week? Even now that I've loaded up nearly the whole giant closet, I still seem to have this much on the tables to be put away.
I was also hoping to pack & pack last week & have everything ready to move at once while we had helpers on Saturday. But we quickly realized we just didn't have enough boxes for that, so we kept unloading the boxes & bringing them back to re-pack. We took over about 10 carloads of stuff by ourselves (1 or sometimes 2 a day), and ended each night pretty exhausted.
The constant stirring up of dust has aggravated my allergies & left me sniffling & sneezing for days. Wednesday I guess my body had enough hard labor. I was quite nauseous, & most likely feverish, but luckily that passed by the end of the day.
But enough of that!
I can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. A little more work and this place will be great, much better than the old place. No more talk of packing & un-packing, only pictures of new furniture and finished rooms!
