Moving is Bad for the Health (Sort of)

*coughcoughcough*

We had a hellish four-day weekend of it. Each day felt like a century; at the end of the day, we found ourselves referring to that morning as "yesterday." We are moved in now and very, very slowly unpacking. The kitchen is about 70% unpacked. We have rearranged the furniture slightly once and not slightly once. The cats have basically settled in, and are even staying out of trouble for the most part.

I inhaled a lot of different kinds of evil dust: potting soil, mulch made from Feline Pine kitty litter, plastic, even Roach Prufe, and the effects on my respiratory system have been bothersome. I can't breathe well; I cough a lot.

I expect that the walk to and from the Metro every day will help me to establish and maintain an exercise routine that suits me better. I like having a little time to walk and contemplate in the morning.

We had upwards of 32 boxes of books. Most of these were banana boxes, apple boxes, and flower boxes, which are fairly large.

Good shelves, appropriately placed, are helping us to squeeze into this smaller space.

I am still very, very tired.

In a weird way, this was the easiest "as a couple" move that we've done. We have only had a couple of obligatory fights, and one of them ended with tears and apologies and lots of snuggles. I'll send your hugs on to Myra :). When do I get to meet you in person?
