I loved the space, but I could care less for the landlord or the drama surrounding the space, and I felt this huge weight lift off of my shoulders when I walked through to take this final photo.
Just because I released a ton of emotional baggage doesn't mean that I didn't have lead attached to my physical body, though. Walking up and down stairs for two days straight with heavy boxes was a little too intense for my freshly healed Achilles. Apparently it hadn't healed as well as I thought, and it got quite angry with me.
I am SO blessed to have the friends and family that I have. They really pitched in and helped me move. By "helped," I mean I couldn't have done it without them. I didn't know it that morning, but I was on a steady decline throughout the day. I began carrying lighter and lighter objects until I got some jolting pain. When I started wincing and limping, my friends and family basically told me to sit down and take it easy while they unpacked the rest of my crap!
We filled a UHaul full of the contents of my apartment. How did I accumulate that much STUFF?!?
Now, my adventure will be unpacking all of those boxes. I feel so wonderful that I'm finally moved in, and I will share little tidbits of unpacking as it goes along, but I have loads of work to get done!
Message of the Day: Be a good friend to others; you never know when it may be you who needs the help of a friend.
...Or don't. It won't change my reality. Cheers!
