podlingSo... so yeah. Not even sure where to start. This weekend was barely organized chaos. Actually, that's not true. It *was* organized. It's just that there are only so many hours in the day and so much energy to go around. I'm so tired!!!
Yeah... so![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
teapot_farm visited, and it was truly fantabulous to have her here. I kind of wish I'd planned better so I could've hung out with her more, but timing, as they say, is everything, and mine has suuuuucked lately. But I did get to share several meals with her. And no one died after eating my cooking, so all in all it was good. Heh. So she leaves today, back to the UK. Eventually I'll get back there, oh yeah. I forced her to get up unspeakably early today and accompany me into the city, where she is now wandering around. It was fun seeing her again, it'd been way too long. And she was happy to see me too, even after I cruelly left her to fate at Newark Airport for an hour (um, wrong terminal, doh!) and was disoriented by the fact that I wasn't wearing jeans and have much, much shorter hair now (which I kind of neglected to mention).
astrophysicat has abandoned me in search of a career and future happiness, taking most, if not all, of her possessions with her. Since I was busy, I haven't had to resort to talking to my stuffed animals yet. It'll happen soon enough though, I'm sure. I talk too much anyway... which I'm sure she'd agree with. She also left a cd in the stereo that I know she'll be missing. Ah well, I'll get it to her. It's funny how it looks like you have way more stuff when it's packed in a truck. I wasn't as useful to her as I'd've liked to be because I had to go off and do stuff in my new place, but then again, I probably would've just gotten in the way. I'm like that. It's unfortunate, but there it is.
So. There were other people over (and I'm not going to name them all). And there were people elsewhere. Lots of them. And fireworks!!! And many shared meals. The breaking of bread is important. It's symbolic of the giving of life. So sharing it among friends is a good thing. Oh, and then there were workerbees, my loyal minions. This weekend was the first that I could work on the new place. Honestly, by the time we went to see T3 on Saturday night, I felt pretty dismal about the whole thing (and not just because I came down with a lovely cold either). I mean, will this place be habitable? I do have to move in eventually, really. We (being me,littlefrogling & sidruid) ripped out the rugs, hit some snags as to how to dispose of it (which has now been resolved) and that took quite a bit of time, and then at some point yesterday we started painting. It looks good so far now though! Though I'm now thinking that maybe the ceiling really does need paint, and ohmigawd this is such a pain, but everything has to be done by this weekend or the floor can't go in, and oh, the subfloor is definitely some sort of cement, which is a pain.
Anyway, I'm swamped at work. Got to run. More painting tonight. Life is so hectic!!!
