mostly moved

Got enough stuff to sleep, cook and dress over to the new place yesterday, with the help of my sister, her pick-up truck and [livejournal.com profile] funny_socks. My sister rocks. We got every large item of furniture into the truck, down to the new place and out of the truck in about two and a half hours, and despite a grand total of zero ropes or tarps, kept the whole stack in the back of the truck over the course of the typically pothole-laden trip. Nobody tailgated us though -- the stack did oscillate threateningly!

There’s still some paperwork to deal with at both ends of the move, and phone/DSL service to await eagerly at the new place. I’m semi-settled, but the end of wanting to do something and needing to unpack the prerequisites is in sight.

Ran into a whole bunch of my new neighbours last night: [livejournal.com profile] moonlightjoy, [livejournal.com profile] syracusepoet and [livejournal.com profile] emjayne -- if the respirator’s any use to you, I still have it by the way -- and started my acclimatization to the new blend of street noises outside my window (less sirens and general craziness, but less of a baffling effect from other buildings).

I’m unprogrammerly today, but fortunately there is reading and distribution of documentation to do. I hope I’m more with it soon.
