Update

So much is happening! My mattress finally came, once Clarence, the store manager, came on the scene. But the boxspring won't fit up the stairs, so I get to wait for a split boxspring to come today. The mattress is delicious, however.

Today is Tuesday (it is hard for me to track the days right now). Yesterday, Monday, the movers arrived in the morning and unloaded everything. I stayed up until midnight last night unpacking feverishly. I'm not done, but getting quite close. The bugger of is all is that this place is too small/poorly laid out to fit my life. It is close, but it feels a little bit like a furniture showroom.

Sunday I painted all day long, until 2 am (there was about a 5 hour break between painting and unpacking). The purple, I am happy to say, is gone. Well, almost gone. I'd like to do the exterior doors too at some point. We (my parents came down for the weekend) decided to change the main wall color too downstairs from a dark cream/tan to a bright white, since the room is dark anyway. I managed to do a second coat everywhere, so at least I don't have to try to go back now that it is stuffed full of furniture.

Saturday, my parents were painting all day and I was babysitting HW for DW and SH. It was fun to be in a six year old's head for awhile, though I was sorry to not be here painting. HW doesn't quite get irony yet. You have to be making a really funny face while being ironic for her to understand that you don't mean what you are saying. Which meant that I was making a lot of funny faces, since it turns out that I mean very little of what I say. I will haave to meditate on that one for a while....

I have been avoiding the whole job search stuff, and haven't been putting in face time at my new school--very bad for reasons which I may go into later. I really need to start carving out significant chnks of time for that stuff!
