It feels funny to be stopping in here again before the evening is out, but I wanted to stop in one more time, and I won't have access to the internet once I leave the office.
It's odd, but a relaxed day at the office has helped. There were things to do, but nothing desperately urgent.
And being away from the incredible disarray that is our house just presently is also helpful. I'd forgotten just how much disorganization and disarray stresses me out!
Ah well, I'll have to get used to it! It's likely going to look this way for a little while, since, as I mentioned last week, my commitment is to take the unpacking slowly, sort through the belongings, and really and truly purge and simplify.
I'm looking forward to a trip to Ikea tomorrow night. Along with a few essentials that we've discovered are missing in our new place, I'm also planning to finish pricing out bed frame options. I have a pretty good idea of what I want, I'm just hoping to see it on display. And then, sometime early next week, I'll be purchasing that, and truly able to begin to get my bedroom neatly into shape!
I have an errand or two to do for work tonight, before I head home. Then home, and attacking the kitchen, so at least that space is navigable, and that we're able to cook, and have someplace that isn't in disarray to sit down for a few minutes here and there.
And, I'd forgotten, but work is ending early tomorrow as well, since we often close the office a few hours early on the day before a statuatory holiday. That is also VERY exciting news for me!
And with that, I'm off to tie up some loose ends, and head out for the evening.

Updating...
We survived the move. We've now officially slept in the new place for two nights.
It's entirely in chaos. I can't find my favorite pair of flip-flops (here's hoping they turn up soon!) But we're there. The goal for tonight is to unpack our kitchen, so we can at least start eating like normal human beings again.
The injury count was low, belonging wise. The glass on one framed photograph broke, but that's quite easily fixed sometime soon. (We're nowhere near being ready to hang our artwork anyway.
As for me, well, I've decided that I bruise more easily than fruit! I have deep, ugly bruises across both legs, both arms, and several on my hips and torso. I also have a small cut, high up on my torso, that I have no idea how I sustained.
I also managed to roll my right ankle, and pull my left hamstring, on the same move, while carrying a piece of furniture down the stairs out of our old house. As I stepped off the bottom step, my ankle rolled under me, and I pulled the hamstring compensating for rolling the ankle! I've spent several chunks of time over the last few days, reclining on my bed, with a bag of frozen peas on either my ankle or my hamstring. Looking a bit ridiculous, but thankful that the injuries weren't more serious.
I did make it to church Saturday night. And to the mountains yesterday.
Tonight I'm doing some errands for work, before returning home to attack the unpacking of our kitchen.
Tomorrow night is scheduled for grocery shopping and a trip to Ikea for a few essentials we've discovered are missing in our new place.
Wednesday I'm off work all day, and am hoping to take care of a number of errands, as well as make a dent in the unpacking. Wednesday is also the day that I should finally have internet access in our new house - something I'm most definitely looking forward to.
I'm a bit worn out, and still a bit frazzled, but overall, I felt the prayers of those who were praying. I made it through moving day, with it's high stress and high demands on energy levels I don't really have with only one minor meltdown mid-afternoon. I am, however, still managing to get at least some sleep, and that is most definitely helping.
