Ah, freak out; Le freak, c'est chic
Feb. 3rd, 2005 12:56 amOMG... I'm freaking out... It's 1am... I haven't packed...
I went skiing tonight... it was fun... only took a few runs... had too much to do at home...
Lee's move occurred today. His room downstairs was cleared out by us yesterday (into the back room). All his stuff got moved in today... he's got quite a bit, but it all looks like it's actually going to fit... bed and desk look good. He got the bed setup and I hooked up his computer, TV, VCR, DVD, and phone. I believe his goal is to work on it all day tomorrow and get it really unpacked and cleaned-up. (Unpacked to the point where the boxes that he won't be using will be stacked in "storage" in the back room.)
So, he was able to move out of the "guest room" and this became Ken & Don's room... they quickly moved in and cleaned it up. It's amazing! I'm really amazed at how quick Ken and Don can be at straightening and cleaning a room. Ken has cleaned both fish tanks (they look amazing), the living room has been reset back to normal, he straightened the storage room to make it more accessible. He said this weekend he will clean the whole house. I'm in a bit of a state of shock... it's so wonderful.
So... on one hand... I'm in shock that the house is now a four-person household... and there is so much stuff here that things are stacked floor to ceiling in the storage room. But, on the other hand, I'm so relieved that the house is looking so wonderful again. It's amazing how great having clean fish tanks and an organized living room can make me feel.
I've felt like I've met people at strategic times in my life... and people come into our lives usually just-in-time... well... I feel that way about how everything is working out with Ken & Don. Yes, it's overwhelming to have such an upheaval in the household and major changes... but it's also so wonderful and just what I needed. Granted, the timing (of me leaving for Mardi Gras on Friday) could have been a little better... and I haven't yet begun to pack, and it's 1am, and I need to be done by morning... but dash it all... I pack under pressure all the time anyway... it'll be just fine...
So... although tired as hell, worn out, drained, sore, and just a little cranky... my overall mood is actually "content".
