Smooth Move

Yesterday, which was the hottest day of 2011, was moving day. It mostly went smoothly, with the older women on the street sitting and watching and making comments on everything that came out of the house. One asked if I was going to make trouble in the new place, too. I didn't dignify that with a response.

By the time the movers finished up, it was late afternoon. We got some of the furniture placed, and other pieces in the right room, where I will have to decide what to do.

I had a delish dinner with the Chefs, and then headed up to the new house where I started to get organized. It will be a long task! I was hot and grubby and wanted to take a shower, but couldn't find the shower curtains I'd bought, so I grabbed a piece of fabulous Lilly Pulitzer fabric

and safety-pinned it over the shower rod to use as a shower curtain.

Once I finally fell into bed - or rather into mattresses, since my bedframe was still at the old house - I tossed and turned for hours, even though I was exhausted. Every bone in my body hurt, and of course, I couldn't find any asprin. I know it's in a box, but which one?

Today, I pick up Connor and then head to the new house. It will be Connor's first day there, and I hope he adjusts quickly. He's been at the kennel for a few days, and I want to transition him right to the new place, with all of the familiar furnishings.
