Moving has been a huge stress. remodeling has also been a huge stress.... and not having D around to help has made the stress even more stressful... but I survived! and i'm almost done moving! and the house is almost ready to be lived in! it's been an incredible stressful couple weeks... but now i think i can say that most of the move is done and i the best friends in the world. once i organize my furniture and finish cleaning the bathroom and floors... maybe it will be liveable. my life is still packed in boxes... i've lost my charger, and spare key, i lost so many papers and important documents... life is a little bit in disarray.
fiona's been pretty good about the move. she's still a little nervous around the house, but she likes to hide and sit on the bed and eat her food... at least she's not pooping everywhere out of anger.
one thing i noticed last night before i went to bed, was the silence. at my old place, you could hear the train every hour (i lived not far from the tracks), you could hear frogs and crickets all night, and around 4 in the morning, sometimes sooner, the birds would start chirping. the new place has nothing. the occasional helicopter flies overhead to go to the hospital, sometimes i hear cars drive by with deep pounding bass, sometimes i hear birds... but mostly... i hear the house. it's a little bit sad that i'll be away from all those familiar sounds, but i guess it'll be nice to be a 10 minute bike ride away from lab... instead of a 30 min bike ride.... and miles of high speed and no shoulder.
here, meet my lawn mower:
the thing is huge.
