A Day Off....of sorts

Every muscle in my body hurts. And I don't mean in a good way. I feel older than dirt right now - but that's ok. It was worth it.

Yesterday I had such plans. I was going to get soooo much done. Yeah, right.

I did sleep in my bed. First time since May. The mattress sucks, and it's about as uncomfortable as you could imagine, but I slept like a baby. In my bed. :-) In fact I slept so well, I missed my normal wake-up. I slept til 8:30. Well shit - that put's me a bit behind schedule.

Then the phone rang. Ahhhh the sweet sweet sound of a ringing phone. I talked. A lot. It was wonderful. BUT....I had a schedule, things to get done. Now I was behind some more. Oh well, life is meant to be lived not scheduled.

Finally I knew I could put it off no longer. I headed over to the old place to do the final clean up and pack up what loose stuff we had run out of boxes for.

First three rooms were a piece of cake. Run the sweeper and all done! WooHoo. (The ONLY advantage of that small of a place.) Then I hit the kitchen, and started to pack up the stuff.

Now, I need to mention I'm not a good judge of "space". Not. At. All. I had 3 boxes. I started packing. By the time I was finished I couldn't lift the damned things. Holy Shit!! Part of it is the fact that I'm just plumb wore out. Also - I had moved the TVs over on Thursday so the DirecTV could be hooked up, and kinda sorta wrenched my back (damned old age anyway). I managed to get the 2 bigger boxes in the car - finally. They are still there. I can't even get a grip on them to lift them out. But I'm alright with that. They'll be fine and I'll get 'em out sometime this week.

But - all that took so much more time than I scheduled. Finally I got home around 4:30. I'm glad no body took me up on the football and pizza. The only game I got to watch was the Bears beat the Falcons.

So I get home and the phone rings. I spent the evening chatting with friends and cousin. By 10:00 I was so damned tired I don't even remember going to bed.

But it was a great day. I cooked a little and talked a lot. I puttered around and got a bit more settled. It was like a day off.....sorta.
