Can this be over now.
So this was, without a doubt, the worst moving experience I have ever had. I am tired, cranky, and sore. I am trying to hold it together. The fires were very close to our complex as we were moving in, but even without them I've had a very stressful time. I never want to move again, but I also want to just find some hole in the wall and hide away for the next five million years. I kind of want a hug, but also to tell everyone to just back off and let me shut myself in. My vocabulary has been reduced to #$^@ and @*$%. I'll pull it together eventually but I'm at the point of fracture at the moment.
EDIT: Wow, the fires have gotten amazingly worse than I had thought they were on Sunday/Monday. Not having TV or internet for those two days cut me off from a lot of the knowledge of just how widespread they've become. Luckily life is still passing fairly normally here, even with the Portola (Santiago) fire being close, but stay safe and know you're all in my prayers right now.
