qosMy parents arrived at 11am and just left a few minutes ago. It's 9:16pm.
My mother worked pretty much straight through.
My dad and I took 90 minutes or so to drive to the new place, get my keys, put some boxes of fragile things and my daughter's new mattress in, and return with take-out food for dinner.
I'm exhausted.
I'm alone. Which is both good and bad.
The twins are visiting, which means there is exuberant yelling going on outside upstairs.
Not what I need right now.
ETA: A trip upstairs has silenced the twins. Life is better.
What I need is a shower, followed by some quiet grounding time.
I could also use a long hug and cuddles, but those are unlikely to materialize this evening.
Instead I shall concentrate on enjoying non-material ones.
Am I all packed? Not quite. There's about 3% left -- but that 3% can be done while the movers are moving the big stuff, or after. It's not like I have to leave for another state tomorrow morning.
Oh yeah -- the movers are getting here at 8am tomorrow. Or sometime between 8-9am.
Uncivilized, I tell you.
I had hoped to get everything out in one fell swoop, but I expect there will be at least one or two clean-up shuttle trips.
The new place felt very small this afternoon. Very, very small. I am going to have to be very mindful as I place things.
