for the win
Did some touch-up work on the paint early this morning, and concluded that almost every wall in the place is going to need another coat. This is a pain in the ass now that the place is no longer empty, but I can roll with it -- it'll be my project for the next little while, do another coat on one wall (or color) per evening, or something.
Then![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pocketmouse showed up; and then jgesteve showed up with bagels and diet coke; and then K from curling and his girlfriend, who happen to be my new neighbors, joined us because they are AWESOME; and the five of us had the whole fucking truck unloaded and up in the new place by the time neotoma called to see if we still needed help. When I called sanj and ellen_fremedon, who were almost on their way out the door to come direct traffic and be spared from heavy lifting, it was to tell them we were done. They came and had bagels with us while it rained. (Unloaded the whole truck before it started raining. The ways in which today has been better than yesterday are too numerous to count.) sanj took me to return the truck and brought me back here to where my car is. So far, so good.
I have about six frillion things left to do at the old place, and I know I can't do them all at once, so I'm trying to decide what I need to bring up with me tonight. Some amount of bedding, I think; computer and its accessories; DVD player; alarm clock and bedside lamp; shower curtain; that might actually do it. Especially since it turns out I'm going to have to take a half-day tomorrow for Comcast-related reasons, on which Comcast is now thoroughly aware of my displeasure (to the tune of a waived installation fee; in a nutshell, they say they called twice yesterday and I wasn't home, so they couldn't do the install, but I was home and the phone never rang and I have no missed calls, and assuming we are both telling the truth -- which I'm prepared to grant on their end only because too many people would have to be lying -- then there was some kind of fuck-up somewhere in between that I'm not at all confident won't happen again).
Onward, upward, northward, dinner soon. I think I will sleep very well tonight.
