I finally moved to Castricum, but this is not quite how I expected my first week to go…
On Saturday my dad, my brother and me moved all the stuff to my new house. The roads were slippery and it was very cold, so that was an extra hazard. All went well though, and after soup and bread for dinner at my parents’ house I took a last car full of smaller things with me. What I hadn’t considered was that these ‘small’ things would take me 13 times to move into my house. I was done at 23:00h, and immediately went to bed.
Sunday was my only free day, and I cleaned my kitchen and moved in most of the stuff. Then Monday I went to work… which naturally took ages. I received a ThinkPad so I could work at home, which is what I did. I worked extra hours so I could keep my appointment with the eye doctor yesterday. The good news: apparently they can find nothing wrong at all with my left eye. The bad news: it’s still not okay, not by far. It hates light and it constantly behaves as if I have a migraine.
So I got home, and I felt extremely chilly. I decided to sleep it off, and a few hours later I woke up with a huge fever and everything in my head and all my muscles hurting. So right now it’s early morning, it’s Christmas, and I’m really sick. I wonder if I can make it to my parents, or whether I should… it might not be good for them.
My new house is still awesome, even through all the mess I’m still in. A couple of closets should fix that soon. In the mean while I live with boxes :)
*cough* Yup, me too -> http://www.kilala.nl/index.php?id=1586
It’s flue season apparently. I’m staying home from work so I won’t infect anyone there. Luckily my daughter’s had her flu shots already.
Oh you too Cailin? I decided to visit my parents anyway, but it made me a thousand times more tired than it normally would, and they were perfectly agreeable this time too. So I’m in bed now and happy to get to rest :)
And thanks Tijn and Steffen!
Merry Christmas to all of you :)
Huh, you’re ill too? Sucks :(
*cough* *blankety hug* I’ll go to bed early too :)
Congratulations! And get well soon :-)
Moving always takes ages longer than you expect. You’ll survive ;-)
hey, I moved in about 2 years ago, and half of my shit is still in boxes :) Speaking about boxes, the topic reminded me of the “Weeds” theme song. Every episode it was sung by someone else, like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEvEEcc9iC8 by Regina Spektor.
Happy christmas!
