307
Moved into the apartment yesterday, two days early, at no extra charge; the lease still technically beginning on the 15th. Long, exhausting day of hauling stuff down the stairs and up the stairs and tightly packing it into the car and the bedroom, driving between house and apartment, up the stairs, down the stairs, loading mattresses into the truck, out of the truck, driving, reloading, heaving, breathing hard cold air. But all the big stuff is basically moved.
Just mattresses on the floor of our bedroom, blank walls, no tables, lone lamp. Only the basics.
Daniel Tosh in the CD player in my car, on repeat, all day.
"We're home."
I've slept better. Need ear plugs. May take a few nights to get used to sleeping in a warmer environment; Jordan and I kept the upstairs cold in the house because we both have trouble sleeping well when we're hot. Lindsey and Mandii like it hot; I like it cold. They have the majority over me; I have to adapt. Hopefully it won't make me grouchy. I also think I'll sleep better when this cough goes away.
"I am eager to make the apartment my starting point to every day."
Tonight: more moving, cleaning, shopping, organizing, etc.
I am exhausted, but still very pumped.
