For the last 5 days I have packed, moved, and unpacked (about 95% done). It is exhausting work, and you can add in there 2 (walked) trips to the grocery store, hefting back heavy bags on my shoulders. Plus today will include about 4 loads of laundry (somehow moving wrinkles everything).

Plus side: this apartment is about 1/3 bigger than my old one. I can have a pet here (will get a cat, as my fenced patio does not have a lawn for a dog). I've already met half a dozen of my neighbors and they're all friendly but not TOO friendly (the nosy/gossipy mean types).

Best of all, my stress level has gone down tremendously today. It's like one, big sun salutation. I'm out of a toxic environment, and the worst of the moving is over (though am monstrously sore everywhere, plus have bruises all over my arms & legs from the bashing boxes and furniture).

I saved unpacking the bathroom for last, today's chore, and plan on stepping on the scale once I've revealed some floor space currently covered in boxes.

Happy All Saints Day, everyone!
