The craziness continues. I took the day off yesterday to help coordinate the movers, who were moving all the Big Stuff (furniture, crockery, and things we were too exhausted to pack). I spent a lot of time saying things like, "Second bedroom. First bedroom. Closet. Stack it in front of the desk, please. That'll go in the nook. Hallway, beneath the window, thanks. Yeah, you can use the bathroom." It took an entire day to get everything off the trucks--I thought it would only take a couple of hours, tops. :\
I got to work today and discovered a plethora of papers on my desk. One of my pages will be late. The vendor I'm meeting with (who later brought coffeecake as a bribe) is running half an hour late. The director signed me up for a meeting and didn't tell me until an hour beforehand. A staff meeting in the afternoon. The rest of the day was spent trying to play catch-up for what I missed yesterday.
I have off tomorrow, in which time we'll try to pack up everything at Groton Long Point and haul it over to East Haddam. And then: cleaning (the movers tracked mud all over), and unpacking. We still don't have a certificate of occupancy (one of the stairs is 1/8th of an inch too low, rendering the entire house inhabitable. I kid you not. Although there's also bacteria in the water. Whatever.) but we're hoping we can squeak by (as long as we stock up on bottled water). Our lease at GLP ends at noon on Saturday, so we don't really have a choice.
It'll be us and the cows for a while: no internet, no landline, for who knows how long, so I'll only be reachable by cell. And we all know that my cell phone lives at the bottom of my purse, usually in the "off" state, so...maybe you should send a message via owl. :)
I'll be *so* happy when all this moving nonsense is finished...
