Appreciate it, but that's one of the stressful bits: everything has to be out by Friday morning for the official settlement. There can theoretically be compromise on this but I don't want to risk it. The new folks wanted to get their contractor in even before I left... they are antsy because they want it remodeled and ready for a Christmas move-in. And there will be more to do than they think.
It's getting less stressful because the moving guys are excellent and they are really getting it done. I was thrown a horrible curve because my friend is helping me move the turtle, his wife's MRI results came back with a brain lesion yesterday. Made my problem seem tiny in comparison. |

And I do have heat, although I had to reboot the furnace.
I do believe this is the most tired I have been since the infamous cross-country ski weekend where they forced us at gunpoint to run trails all day and fed us only one meal of gruel. I'm 49, that weekend was when I was 19. Tonight I have to move the turtle. Tomorrow I have to throw out everything left in the old place. Friday I have to go to settlement in the morning and probably stay there all day. Saturday I work the shop during the day and play Burning Bird at night. Sunday will be the first rest. I expect to sleep in. |

Good luck tomorrow and Friday, UT. Sorry for your pain; every time I've moved, I've sworn I'll never do it again!
Hang in there and focus on how good sleeping in on Sunday will feel.

I actually feel your pain. Physically. It's concentrated in the knees and lower back.
Apart from narcotics, liquid Advil is da best. I take 4 200mg every day just to move. But I still hurt. It'll get done. You'll settle in. It takes a good while no matter who you are or what you have. My thoughts are with you this thursday morning. and they will be more so on Friday. and XO eta: I know from moving PITA. I moved 10 times in 7 years. When I got to this pixie hollow I swore: they're gonna take me outta here in a box.

Last night a friend helped move the turtle and cleared half the garage. I dtruly didn't realize how much work had to be done and how much dust it would generate in the process. Got back at 11:30, slept in this morning until 9:30! Now today I have to do it again and I'm renting an SUV so I can throw shit in there if I fill the dumpster!
GAH it's horrible! But the great news is, with my stuff in it, with the heat and dehumidifer going, the farmhouse is better than I thought. It's really "me" and also, my allergic cough seems to be improved overnight. Maybe the old house was more toxic than I thought. Now to shower, medicate Pearl and myself, and begin the long grueling final day. |

It's great that you can already see that the new place is you (we knew it anyway!). You really are on the homeward stretch now!
