Counting the days, hours, minutes until I am entrenched in the new digs. Brought more things over early today, then spent 2 hours unpacking boxes and putting things away; taking ownership of the new place, I guess. Doing this relaxed and took me into another place. I began to imagine what the place will look like when all the pieces fall into place. Probably not until after the season. I am in no rush, but I would like a chair or two and a small table.
Though I had to be super careful about the weight I was lifting, that didn't dampen my spirits. I took great pride in collapsing the boxes and taking them for recycling - there are 7 fewer boxes than yesterday - along with my usual recyclables.
When I arrived at the restaurant I was calm, energized, and ready for the day ahead.
I'm taking a break tomorrow and only running a few necessary errands before work. I just can't run up and down that flight of stairs another day without a respite. And, the errands are an important part of the process, as well. No guilt here.
Didn't sleep well last night, so following a festive cocktail and a light supper, it's off to bed. I am really exhausted

An so it goes.
