Long Weekend

After a Friday evening at the Piper's Kilt with Elizabeth and Tesse (and Elizabeth's friend), I went back to the apartment to finish packing, and got to bed around 2:30. I had to get up at 5:45 to deliver the kittehs via car service and then go right back to Inwood. Did so, then picked up donuts at Dunkin' Donuts and then got the truck and was back at the apartment by 9:15 where Jason was waiting and Elizabeth had made a big pot of coffee. Little by little my other elves helpers started arriving--Michael, Tesse, my friend Laurie, Duncan. Pretty much all of my stuff, except for my bed and my TV/DVD player, was packed and sealed and ready to go so the move-in only took as long as it took to pack it neatly and fit everything in. Then Jason and I went in the truck over to Mickey's place, where he was waiting to help us two bring it in. We were so damn efficient, we were done by the time Duncan and Laurie got there on the train. In fact Jason and I were already driving back the truck--we passed them on the street and told them to hang out at Mickey's (and now my) place and we'd be back in about an hour and a half, and I'd take them out for pizza and beer. Duncan and Laurie decided just to go back, so I ended up buying dinner for Mickey and Jason. As Jason and I drove back, I was commenting on how quickly we'd moved my stuff in--I said it was Aryanly efficient, after all, Mickey and I are blond. Jason said "well of course it was quick, you two had the Jew to order around."

After Jason, Mickey and I hung out at the Regal Beagle Dillinger's, I went back and PASSED OUT. Very tired. Staggered awake around 7:30 and started putting stuff away--continued this morning and most of the day today. I still need to install the A/C unit (and CURTAINS!) and shove a few things around but it feels a lot more cozy. Tatia has been delaing with the move with her usual aplomb--she's an old pro--but Tibby of course has been a huge drama queen. Still he's taking it better than the last two moves.

THANK YOU so much, everyone who helped me!! Jason, Mickey, Tesse, Michael, Laurie (though she's not on LJ), and of course Elizabeth--superquick and efficient, you guys rawk!!!
