Why am I so tired? Oh, wait...
Spent a little time this afternoon (in between work stuff) going through and clearing out old uprooting-related docs from our server.
Um. Wow?
Looking over all that, I'm actually pretty gobsmacked at the sheer scope of the project we took on. On the back end of it, now, somehow it seems like I shouldn't be as exhausted and... post-partum-y... as I am. But looking at all the giant to-do lists and logistics docs and schematics and spreadsheets and... Yeah. We gave birth to a pretty damned big baby.
I know people move all the time, of course. I've certainly done it plenty of times before myself. But this was a whole different thing, IMHO: Two big moves and big remodeling projects in two houses in the space of six months, and then me trying to work full-time on the back half of it, too. There was more work involved in this than in the previous half-dozen moves put together. My entire life has been completely consumed by this since March. When I look back at 2009 in the future, only two things are going to come to mind: Otter and endless stacks of cardboard boxes.
The good part, of course, is that I'm so utterly delighted with the house that I'm not going to feel the need to move again anytime soon, barring Rainier barfing all over it or something. I'll be very glad when the last little bits are done so we can just kick back and be slothfully indulgent in the place.
