It will take a little while to learn the idiosyncrasies of the new (old) place. You're kinda like Pearl, checking stuff out, except you probably use your nose less.

maybe don't pee on every damn thing either

When you push the reset button on the burner, does it try to start... like make all the clicks and whirrs but shuts down in less than a minute without firing?

Ach. If I hadn't been up most of the night with a sinus headache, id a come a helpa.

You need any help friday afternoon?

Undertoad · 12-05-2012, 01:33 PM

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.

orthodoc · 12-05-2012, 05:49 PM

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.

Griff · 12-05-2012, 06:00 PM

Hang in there Bro. You're almost home.

DanaC · 12-06-2012, 04:30 AM

How's it going today UT?

limey · 12-06-2012, 04:37 AM

Yeah, UT, how're things?

Trilby · 12-06-2012, 05:35 AM

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.

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.

Chocolatl · 12-06-2012, 09:18 AM

Good luck today!

limey · 12-06-2012, 09:32 AM

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!

infinite monkey · 12-06-2012, 09:35 AM

Movin'
On a Thursday afternoon
Really couldn't get away too soon

Glad you're liking the place!
