... but I can't seem to cobble together 2 coherent sentences. Boxes are moved. Step-mother-in-law is extremely helpful in a move, and also an alarmist. Dreamt last night of electrical fires after extended conversation about installing ceiling fans. Woke up in a panic, convinced we made a huge mistake. Called the electrician and resolved. Furniture to be moved Friday. Condo association met tonight. Cute neighbors. Don't seem crazy or like they will deal drugs out of the downstairs apartment like the current neighbors. Some more boxes to pack, 2 cats to calm, and a billing address to change with a million companies. Two work-related presentations this week. More worried about finding not-yet-packed professional and unwrinkled clothes than about the presentations themselves. A more substantial and more interesting post, plus photos, very soon.

We shorted out the entire back half of our (former) condo trying to install our own ceiling fans (damn lesbian pride).

Damn lesbian pride wound up costing us $180 an hour (holiday weekend electrician rates).

ouch. -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: FemiKnitMafia COMMENT-DATE:8:42 AM COMMENT-BODY:Hang in there chica. This is an awesome development and things will settle down little by little over the next week. And -- that week will fly. -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: susan COMMENT-DATE:10:37 AM COMMENT-BODY:moving into a new place always involves pendulum swings between excitement at possibilities and fatigue at the implementation of those possibilities (or horror at the cost of the above!).

Hang in there...you'll be settled soon. -------- COMMENT-AUTHOR: Anonymous COMMENT-DATE:1:21 PM COMMENT-BODY:Congrats on the move.. just remember, the best part of moving is next week or the week after when everything is in its place and you know that not a single closet is jammed with junk :)

yay for your team! --------
