Dear So and So

[Catrin]

Oy, unpacking. (Reminds me, there are still two boxes in my living room that I need to deal with, and about 4 small ones in my bedroom. Not counting the winter clothes that I'm not unpacking for a while...)

Look after that shoulder!

Yeah, both shoulders are complaining, throbbing a bit. Tomorrow is a REST day, and perhaps the next day - we shall see. I really would like to ride my bike Monday, and I am off work until Wednesday but we will see. I need to be well rested for my training group Tuesday morning.

Phew.

(... and watch out for that emotional crash ... if it were me I would be having a big one in three ... two ... one ... )

I am a bit concerned about this... I've not been able to slow down since returning to town from my mom's funeral so we will see how the next week goes. I've only had two huge stressors at the same time.

Good luck in your new place, Catrin.
Moving does take a lot out of you.

I LOVE the new apartment! I hadn't realized how SMALL the last place was until now. No wonder it felt so confining! All of the boxes are unpacked outside of 3 and most of the empty boxes have been disposed of. All books are in their places (sort of) and all electronics up and running I just finished a beer and hope to get a good night's sleep!

Congratulations on the new digs, Catrin. Hope you feel all settled in soon -- moving is always unsettling for awhile -- and enjoy your new space.

Get some rest!

Congrats Catrin!! We just moved as well, LOVE the new place, feels like a clean slate.

Dear Lesley University,
Why is it taking over a week to get a copy of my transcript? Your slowness is the only thing holding up my professional license application. I received my transcript from ASU, 2,800 miles away in 6 days.

Dear face--
Please stop hurting. Barring that, please be something like a sinus infection or unhappy gums or from me clenching my jaw so much. I have prescription drug coverage. I don't have dental insurance any more. I can't afford for you to be a toothache or something resulting from that a cracked filling (which already happened once this summer).

Dear thieving jerk... please keep your sticky little fingers out of my garden. I worked very hard to plant all that and your stealing my first (and perhaps only...) nicely orange bell pepper doesn't exactly make my day.. My front yard is not a grocery store, a garden center (to you whom has in the past stolen my flowers and pots) or a furniture store (my nice little lounger).... stay out of my yard!!

Amen to that!
Last year someone stole our funky little windmill/light from Ikea. People take produce and rip flowers out all the time. Last week some ladies in scrubs pushing wheelchairs/patients from a neighborhood care facility came to the door to confess that they had taken tomatoes previously and could they please have more. I was busy dealing with a problem and late-for-work and on the phone, so I was super-annoyed. In retrospect it is just rather puzzling behavior.

If we can garden, so can you!!
