Moving...Day 1

So it's almost 04:15 the morning after our first day of moving and I have yet to fall asleep. I am absolutely exhausted but the hamster in my head keeps spinning that little wheel and here we are...

Well let's see. We actually started Friday evening and stayed up to the wee hours of the morning packing and loading a hug uHaul truck. During which my father managed to fall from said vehicle and long story short, earned a displaced fracture in his hand( will post pica I took in the ER in a later post).

Then Saturday morning it started again. There was urgency more so this time because we had hired 2 movers and only had them for so many hours to help. To add to the chaos, we really hadn't packed much. We had half a garage of boxes and half or the dining room, floor to ceiling, also filled...boxes from Colorado. The movers got all the huge stuff including the appliances. Basically all the stuff that there would have been no way for us to move on our own. So pretty much everything that is left at the old house we can move using the 4 vehicles we own.

Yesterday( still today for me, as I hadn't slept yet) was sooo HOT ! I haven't exerted that much energy in I don't know how long. And I know I haven't sweated like that since Summer Band in High School. A lot of my "quirks" had to be pushed to the back recesses of my mind in order for me to function. I walked bare foot; I cut myself and bled; I had dirt under my finger nails for crying out loud! I do like to be bare foot though...just when the floor is clean. Hate having dirty feet. But today I let that go and felt a tad bit of freedom from my OCD...but now I'm paying for it because my feet hurt so bad! They are used to cushy house shoes I guess.

All that torture aside, I am sooo glad to me in a new house. Right now I'm in a much larger bedroom with my bed and nightstand already set up. Also had to get my IPOD speaker stand so I have something until I get a new TV for the wall.
Another plus is the area we are in. Not a friggin neighborhood. We have land! Yes it is surrounded by tall corn stalks that are mega creepy at night but you should see the stars. It's breathtaking.

The motion activated lights keep going off so that kinda creeps me out to. Keep expecting to see the alien fro Signs pop up in a window.

I've broken in my new bathroom, which I do not have to share with anyone but me, myself & I. It's actually in my bedroom so no having to dart from the bathroom, down the hall then into my room. Nope, I could walk around naked as a jaybird and not worry one bit. Heck, I've already done 2 nude runs down stairs and back. So I think I'm feeling pretty comfortable here already ;)

The pain medicine AI took had finally kicked in but still hurting. Plus it's making me nauseous, which is the last damn thing I need. Been nauseous for like 2 weeks for no apparent reason. It[s getting old.

Thinking how much today sucked in terms of how we ALL busted our asses, got so hot we all wanted to puke and at times I thought I was just going to collapse...I just don't know how we are gonna do it again tomorrow( well, today actually). I'm now thinking of how to get out of it...but don't wanna necessarily go the route my dad took =p

So thankful to God for giving me a wonderful place to call home and helping me make it through the day. I pray he can give me the strength to help finish it all.
