And I thought last week was nuts....
Aug. 30th, 2024 08:32 amMonday was a lot to get back into the work flow of work after being ill. I still hurt and was tired but I persevered. I managed to then head to Ari's to put the shelves together before scribble. It was just Hugh von Spork and I but Willa came over and I now have a grand student. Yay! I will probably do a small item the same for Poe when she's at scribble next so both Willa and I will have very capable students. The nice thing was that I got to have time to finish up two guardians that I had done the design for and they are all penwork. So super fun. Plus I got to really sit and chat and kibitz with Hugh since it was just the two of us. I really like them and they are a good fit with Willa and the rest of our crazy house of leaves.
Tuesday was the first day in the office and man that walk was killer. I was so tired and sore when I got to my desk but made sure to move carefully and that actually helped a lot. Plus seeing folks and getting things done was nice. I had planned on bringing Ari dinner in her new house since her move was that day and well that was an effing disaster...the move, not the food. Her movers sucked and took two days to pack and move her house, were shitty at packing and just bad. So I brought her dinner and beer to an empty new house on Tuesday and yeah.
Wednesday the movers finally got things to her house at 6pm. Mel, Aesa, myself and Benton arrived at the old house, cleaned out the pantry/fridge and the storage room in two trips with two pickup trucks and my car. We unloaded like a well oiled machine and I'm so glad we put those shelves up cause the movers did what I figured and piled everything in the garage versus in the house but they packaged things so weirdly that there wasn't really room. But yeah...just bad form. The had finished when we got back with the second loads and I had stopped by Subway to grab dinner for all of us. It was the first veggies ari had had all week and Aesa got to eat that day so self care and beer were good things for all of us.
Thursday work was crazy and then I got to take Benton to Skate Country and I pulled out the work laptop and worked another 2 full hours hype focused on the estimates I was working on. Benton had a good time and needed more food that the pizza he had (teenagers yo) and we got Cane's. I have ate out too much this week..off. But at least my pain is down and I'm moving well and even with helping move things I took the light stuff and we did very well.
So today is Friday, I have very few meetings but have a lot of paperwork to finish. I hope to have time to get my toes done.
Saturday is IKEA with Ari for bookcases to use as a room divider, over the toilet storage options and what ever else we find. I'm sure there will be fun and then we will have the joy of putting things together.
I also need to do laundry....and mel and I had a plan to work on a Tourney box for the household setup.
We shall see how I am feeling...its better but I'm still tired.
