If all else fails when trying to decide on a lyric for the morning, Leonard Cohen is always right there.
Yesterday was a full day. We put together Jess' chair, and sorted through some stuff. Then, they brought out a bunch of boxes from Dad's room. We've got a stack of boxes that are just half filling the living room. After that, we went to the storage unit and pulled everything out. It took some serious Jenga-ing, but we got the stuff into the car.
I wish we could just skip through today and get to tomorrow morning, when we get the keys to our apartment. I just could not have any less interest in today.
It's been a weird weekend as far as my mood goes. Mostly I've been good, but every now and then, this wave of sadness and unreality sweeps over me as I realize that this is the last time we'll have a Friday game in the house, or a lazy Sunday morning. Or that the streets I've driven on for my whole life are no longer mine. And then it hits me a bit, and I get teary.
I'm really excited about the new place. It's a brand new start, and that's amazing. We get to shed so much of the past and step forward into a future with our own stuff. And that's exciting.
I'm also a bit nervous about it. I'm having occasional random anxiety like "what if the couches wont fit through the door? What if the dog barks? What if Boodle doesn't like it? It's just a lot.
And I'm also grieving the loss of the house. But a lot of what I'm mourning hasn't been that way in eons. Maybe I'm finally mourning some of the people I've lost, too. It's weird.
Choose 20 books that have stayed with you or influenced you. One book per day for 20 days, in no particular order. No explanations, no reviews, just covers.
I'm not sure whether today will be dead or busy at work. We'll see! I've got my kindle and my ibuprofen, so I'm ready for anything.
Tomorrow, we can pick up the keys at 8am. The window for the furniture people is 10am-4pm. The internet will be installed between 1-3pm. I'm hoping everyone is on the early end of that scale, but we'll see. Jess will be in and out, since we can't leave the puppers alone for 8 hours. They'll be there in the morning, and I imagine they'll be over once the couch arrives to see just how purple it really is.
Okay, time for me to get myself in gear. Everyone have an outstanding Monday!
