The reasons I haven't been blogging number in the thousands, but they include:
No internet: The first and simplest explaination is that I've been mostly staying at our new place, which will not have internet until Saturday. This makes blogging difficult. Nuff said.
Packing: The time I have spent at our Garfield place has mostly been spent throwing things in boxes, carefully packing breakables, and loading them in the car so we can haul them over to the new place.
Hell Week: This week at work has been out of control. After you've spent 11 hours writing lengthly emails to lawyers explaining in very professional language why they might want to consider not sucking so much, and on the phone with clients wondering how their existence simultaneously provides your living and destroys you, sometimes the last thing you want to do is sit down and be creative. Also, one of my closest co-workers, who I rely on for all of our marketing materials, is on maternity leave starting today. And her replacement is on vacation starting tomorrow, through the end of next week. So... things are interesting at the moment.
No sleep: Either Mini is acting out because I didn't snuggle with her this weekend, or she has suddenly become posessed by demons. Before I go to bed she is totally normal, but between the hours of 10pm and 5:15am, her favorite activities suddenly include: running up and down the hallway as fast as possible while making strange noises, and attacking my face and feet. After 5:15, she just lies down on top of me and begins purring and drooling in my face, refusing to leave until I get up. Locking her out doesn't even help, because then she just sits outside making inhuman sounds, while reaching her entire arm under the door like a tiny cat zombie. I can't.
My life is too boring: Also, there's that.
Here are some random updates that you may or may not care about.
Apparently, it's summer now: Last week it was 30 degrees. Now it is suddenly 80 degrees. Not that I'm complaining, given that one year ago tomorrow a snowstorm prevented me from getting to class, and also forced my girlfriends and I to grill burgers in our snowpants during what was supposed to be a fun spring getaway. I love it....I just don't understand it.
We are moving TOMORROW!: Movers are coming in the AM. Ben took PTO for the entire day, and I am hoping to work from home in the afternoon so I can be there to help out a bit. I am PUMPED.
Oook time to haul some boxes across the river. See ya!

good luck with your move- it will feel great to be on the other side of it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It does feel awesome to be on the other side, although now we're in that weird half-unpacked stage where certain rooms feel like a house, and others feel like an episode of hoarders...
ReplyDeletehope this move goes well!
