Reactionary

I crossed off a lot of things from my To Do list today. Change addresses. Research movers. Rewrite budget. Buy condo. Done.

And not a moment too soon. This was supposed to close in October, closes instead on the eve of Thanksgiving. Maybe I should be thankful. Maybe I should be happy. But I’m so tired right now, after boxes and wrapping paper and interminable phone calls that I don’t have another ounce of energy to do much of anything. The heaviness is starting to lift, though. Sure, it would have been much better to have closed as planned and have last week as the unpacking/ moving time. Now I have no time to do it. 12 hour shift tomorrow and I work the holiday and there are parties to be planned and planes to catch and call shifts etc etc etc. But the big things are done. Condo bought. Furniture moved.

I’ll continue to live at my old place just because of my coming long shifts. I won’t be able to clean anything until this weekend.

It hasn’t sunk in yet. Maybe when I lie down to sleep tonight and am on an inflatable mattress rather than my pillowtop, maybe it’ll start. Right now, I’m in efficiency mode and efficiency mode doesn’t provide for much pondering. I’ve even gotten used to seeing my new account balances because this closing was delayed for so long. The new place is in a great part of town, though, and that, even through my severe fatigue, shines in. Too hip, too cool, way too happening Old City. And now, I’m one of them.

P.S. Half was by research, half by luck but everyone I hired to work for me in this was outstanding. I have to send out Christmas presents to every single one of them.
