I am literally EXHAUSTED - such a wuss! So what if I packed up 5 bins full of file folders and binders - and hauled stuff back and forth from one building to another? I guess is was all that FURNITURE MOVING that did it? Yes it turns out I did not really like the configuration of my office furniture - kinda had my right side/back to the door - which I really dislke - you know - when people come up behind you?
So I noticed my furniture was all modular (unlike the cubicle stuff which is attached to the walls - so here I go starting to move this and that - luckily the filing cabinet is still empty - I moved everything across the room so my door/entrance is on my left and I am kitty corner almost facing it (with my computer table in the corner). Everything fit just fine - except now I have these two overhead bins hanging over nothing! (cuz I moved the long desk/table below them). The very nice moving coordinator came in and said he would try and move them but depends on what is behind (the very flimsy panelled) wall. Not a big deal in the end. I also have a nice small round table and visitors' chair (which my friend Jeanne plans on stealing for her office cuz it matches her desk chair!
).
It is looking very homey as my certificates are there, along with my bunny calendar and my stuffed bears, cruise trophy, kids pics and bunny stuff. Even have my cream in the fridge!
My back does hurt a bit as I may have overdone it with the hauling around of furniture by myself - I suppose I could have asked for help but us froufs like to be independent.
Move was already started around 3:30 pm - everyone reports to new location tomorrow - I of course won't be there til tuesday - hope nothing bad happens to my office in the interim.
I came home dragging my little feet and thought how stupid of me not to have packed last night! Oh well - hauled up the luggages - and decided not to cram everything together - so now we have one small rolling suitcase for dd's dance things (yes I know despite the dire warnings of RUINING THE COSTUMES if they are not in garment bags - hope we don't get arrested!). i folded the two of them in tissue paper - and it's in the suitcase along with the pink makeup case, tap shoes, rhinestone covered bowler hat, special bra, 2 pairs of jazz sandals, black tights, bling bling stuff, washcloth, dance school tank top, tissues, deck of cards - and I sure hope we have not forgotten anything. Then another medium size rolling suitcase with dd's clothes and a rolling duffle bag with mine - did not know what to pack? Mostly casual stuff but I packed one pair of dressy/silky black pants, heeled shoes (mostly planning to wear my runners), slinky cardigan and tank in case we go out somewhere nice?
That exhausted me so I will pack the makeup, jewellery, hair stuff tomorrow - too tired to think.
Saundra - I have not been to merrickville in years - so much fun and very quaint place to visit - must try and get that on my list of things to do. You are working with the weather - supposed to be lovely again tomorrow then rain for the weekend!
Vickie - a special welcome to baby Sarah - glad things went well - I always thought a preemie was defined as under 5 lbs? but I guess that might be wrong nowadays? Sounds like your patient is doing better - definitely get some of those milkshakes into him as well as puddings and yogurts! I can imagine you are tired due to all the emotional stress - glad you can rest if you need too.
Sandra - have fun tonight at the archery knights of the round table
Good luck with WI - but I know you will get fabulous results!
kathy - your camera looks very spiffy - I'm sure it will take fantastic pics of your creative talents!
Gf from Toronto just called - trying to sync up our plans for sat - having dinner together friday night (outback?) Supposed to be raining all weekend which is NOT GOOD!
dh just called now too - he is jamming at a russian bar downtown right now! sounds like he's having fun - told him I am about to drug myself (due to oncoming back pain) so please not to call me later (as he usually does on his way home) or wake me up!
House is a pigsty - but cleaning lady coming tomorrow and frankly I am just leaving the mess for the 'men' to work on - no time for me to go from room to room picking things up!
While I will try to eat properly in TO I know I will be eating out alot so it might be hard? I have decided that once I am back to work on Tuesday it would be a great time to make a fresh start in my new environment!
Nitey nite!
