We are a Team
Jered and I have been moving moving moving all week long, and yesterday and today have been absolutely crazy. We managed to move just about everything but a few cleaning supplies and a chair to our new place in two days. Holy smokes. It did help that we started moving things all week, but the bulk of our furniture was moved yesterday and the rest today. I don't think I've ever been this sore in my entire life. We moved it all, in my VW beetle and Jered's Ford Focus. We borrowed my dad's van for the day yesterday to move the "big furniture" which consisted of our bed, the futon a.k.a. our "sofa", and a few other bulky items. We finished at 12:30 last night and started again at 9 am this morning. We are no where near being unpacked in our new place, but the old place is empty. We plan on cleaning it out sometime in the coming week and having an inspection before we turn in our keys so we don't get charged for anything.
Moving is such a pain, but so rewarding all the same. Our new place is so much roomier. I even have a room that is pretty much mine. Right now we have all of my knitting stuff set up in it as well as my "Mac Stand" which is a desk we bought at IKEA on our way home from Baltimore.
The cats have gone a bit nutty, but they seem to be adjusting fairly well. We have a little cat walk on the second floor and Floyd decided he wanted to test it out and jumped from the second floor to the first. He looks okay, he was limping around for a little while but he's a tough guy. I think he learned the reason for stairs today :)
I've done no knitting (surprise, surprise), but I have set up all of my supplies and can't wait to have everything put away so that I can start a new project. I was in the Sunday paper today! They did an article on Knitting for the Daily Press and my picture was in the center of a two page spread! It was craziness. Jered made us buy 3 copies. I was surprised that my picture was used. It was a great article on knitting with lots of local input and good information.
If I ever find the digital camera I will take pictures of the article, goodies from my Secret Pal, and the disaster area that is our new house :)
