those days

it's been overcast for almost four days now
unheard of in sunny san antonio
i think we're all starting to feel a little depressed...

micah and i have completely moved into our new townhome
we started the process on thursday night by moving a bed, dresser and desk by ourselves into a dark apartment (i didn't know all we had to do was switch the breakers on...you live, you learn)
friday we didn't do anything as we had promised the manager we would only need to place the aforementioned bedroom furniture in the townhome because we really needed to get it out of the previous owner's home. cleaning (though quite disappointing) and light construction was completed that day by the apartment people.

saturday was the major moving day. we rented a uhaul truck and, armed with the help of some precious church family, we got it all done. couches, tables, 50lb. tv, endless boxes and all.
we even got the major stuff unpacked.

sunday i spent doing little things like figuring out how to best set up the kitchen, bathrooms, etc. the space, though bigger than our last apartment, is distributed quite differently. it's all a matter of figuring out how to use it best.

this morning we were finally completely tuckered out.
maybe it's been remnants of the jet lag but i haven't been able to sleep past 7:30. this morning i could have slept until tomorrow...

the day was greeted by unpleasant things like turning the kettle that i bought yesterday on to boil and completely forgetting about it until we were running around trying to find the source of the burning smell. bugs started crawling out from under the dishwasher (no exterminator until thursday...). we can't really find everything we need thanks to some leftover boxes and suite cases i moved yesterday from the place we have been staying (most of our "every day stuff"). laundry is piled high in the back of my car with no slot in my schedule to get it done at the laundry mat (hindering my attempt to pack for my trip). the bathtub has a small gash in the bottom (long story) and i found out this morning it will cost us quite a bit to fix it. luckily we are not responsible until we move out...but $110 is $110...topping it all off, i dropped an egg on the rug at my nanny job AND we've started trying to implement the cry-yourself-to-sleep technique (i don't recommend you start this after six months of life...it's miserable for everyone involved). sigh.

it's just one of those days.

tomorrow i head to jackson. i will spend time with my teachers and friends and with sonny and his family as we celebrate the sweet marriage of his parents, dorothy and morris, after nearly 20 years of divorce. i am so excited to be a part of the restoration of this family! what an awesome honor and privilege!

i think the sun is coming out a little.
i hope your week has started better than mine.
back to work.
