Despite being exhausted, and after having the sense to not prioritize any unpacking, getting home tonight I couldn't resist but to assemble the 2 dressers and bed. So tonight I'm going to sleep in my for-real bed again.

I do kind of wish I had paid for movers, except when I look at what I paid. I've helped a lot of people move, but feel like I imposed because so few people showed up. I skipped a lot of details to make it as easy as possible on those who did show up. So I could have saved time and friend-credit, but how many times have I chipped in? How long did it take me to learn the need to have issues people can help with, and accept help?

Plus...why work out all the time just for sport? Moving is something I know how to do, so why not do it? I did it for a couple weeks before the move, and I'll be doing it for a while yet. Not having taken care of myself would be like hiking every weekend but driving to work.

I'm looking forward to regular downtime again, ever.

The inspection is Tuesday, which will either result in further delays or theoretically a hurricane of floor and wall construction.

I always looked at "can you help move" as "free workout and moving karma", too. Sorry to hear your banked-up karma didn't pay the returns you'd hoped for.

Well I wasn't trying to bank karma - I hate "gifts" with the expectation of return. It's fair to say lots of my friends are busy - it's not like when we were younger and had tons of spare time.

Even so, there have been enough moves in the past 5 years that yeah, you'd expect something. I'm not going to think about it much for a bit.

Mostly I'm just having fucking fun in the new place. It is really feeling neato.
