Unpacking and Collapsing

Helped Dinah move on Tuesday. The old studio had a total of 29 stairs to climb. I lost count after 20 trips up and down with boxes. I figure I probably climbed as many stairs in one day as the number of steps on the Great Pyramid at Giza. On Wednesday morning I was so tired and sore I could barely move but we decided to push ahead anyway with getting my stuff out of my friend's garage and into the new studio. Mercifully, we have a mere 5 easy steps to climb at the new place.

So the last two days have been spent moving furniture and schlepping boxes, unpacking and pushing things around in our new location until everything finds a place. I just wish I had done a better job of marking all the cartons as to what's inside. Came home tonight and collapsed on the sofa. Tired doesn't begin to describe it. And there are still more boxes yet to go. But things are starting to come together now, however slowly. If I can finish up over the next three or four days I'll be painting again by this time next week. Yay!

  1. Great blog! Want to see more art, especially if it's as good as the writing.

  2. Me too, more art! Sorry I couldn't help you two more with the move, but I'll tell you I was running those stairs that morning feeling like I had more energy than the two movers, or at least one of them, who professed to be to fat for this job.
