The end on this thing is in sight - it's a strange feeling after all the Sisyphusian (Google it) back-and-forthing, but we're really hitting the point in the project where you look at what you've accomplished and say "Looks good" and you look at what still needs to be done and say "Wait a second, didn't our renter say she likes to paint?" and drop your tools and move on to something more crucial.
So we have Truck Weekend starting tomorrow: Furniture from my parents' house to which my brother and I have laid claim will get loaded and transported to its final destinations on Saturday, and on Sunday we're trucking the furniture my sister wants down to Pittsburgh. (So I'll actually be near Pennsic on set-up weekend, just not at Pennsic...)
Howard, SarahJo and I are the shifting crew, which means mostly me and Howard. SarahJo's been an absolute trooper, but there is a practical limit to the hauling you can do when you literally have half the muscle mass of your compatriots. She's terribly determined, but I refuse to let her actually injure herself assisting me with my family mishegas.
Tonight will be spent clearing my living room - it's the receiving area for all the furniture and such Howard is bringing in prior to the Official Moving Date, which is the weekend of 15-16 August. Likewise, he's clearing half of his living room to act as my inbound furniture's "landing pad".
Fun times, fun times. And nobody's killed one another yet.
