All settled and ready for sleep

So...the move actually went very well. There were no problems; no incidents of the kind that I would normally associate with my life when something important happens (nothing caught fire, nothing got broken, no babies were dropped during the making of this motion picture). The downstairs is now furniture ridden and box free - it looks good. Better than I was hoping it would, even if it did take two very long days to make it work. The upstairs...well, the bedroom is a mess (GP has so many clothes I thought...well...I don't know what I thought. The clothes precluded thought. It's like sleeping inside someone's walk-in cupboard), although the spare bedroom is better - it's where my clothes live, and what can I say? Jeans and tank-tops don't need much organising.

I have to say, though, I'm very tired. I have bags under my eyes that look like...well...bags (which is handy - at least I know I won't lose my new house keys). Betty, my wonderful little car (so named by a friend of mine on our deluded 'day' trip to Paris back in January. She's an international car of mystery. Up to that point I'd spectacularly failed to find her name - nothing stuck) has been fantastic, and it's amazing how much crap you can fit into a tiny car. Can't say I'm a big fan of manual labour though. Everything aches. I'm a wimp, I know.

Anyway, the hardest thing has been not having the internet for four days. Four days! Four days of no e-mail, no procrastination, no blogging and no watching episodes of the show I missed when it first aired and so am now catching up with (BSG if anyone's interested). No wonder I've got things done! We still don't have the internet at home (home!) but I'm back at work for a few days, so I'm getting all the important things done (catching up with AfterEllen, answering e-mails and wasting time) before I actually do any work. Am I a bad person? I guess I should go and do some wo- oh, hey look, it's lunchtime.

Where was I? Oh, yes, no internet. We have to wait for the phone line to be something'd before we can set up the 'net, so that's a wait of at least another 6 days. How will I survive?
