My current plan is to turn down all social engagements for the next month (at least until after silverwingkat & voidwolf's wedding in mid-September) so I can recuperate from the Amsterdam trip, and hopefully prevent burn-out between now and wedding-stuff happening.

Remarkably, the new apartment feels more familiar than I had worried about -- but I also tried to prepare myself pretty thoroughly, so I'll call that a Being Smart About Myself Win.
