Ow.

Thanks to kires, the rest of our stuff arrived on Friday afternoon, and we unloaded stuff on Friday and Saturday. Bookshelves, computers, heavy-ass boxes of comics, and more. Dozens of trips up and down with them.

Normal, in-shape people would be hurting from this. As for me, I'm out of shape, and my muscles were surgically replaced by those of the late Pillsbury Dough Boy a few years back (and thus the only action they're meant to perform is a mild giggly convulsion whenever someone pokes me in the belly). I've discovered muscles in places I didn't know existed. I've discovered those muscles by the amount of pain that shoots through them.

On the plus side, we now have all our games, finally (including Settlers, the assorted Monopolies, and others), all our art (framed Vess prints, original pages from Carla Speed McNeil and others, assorted posters, etc), and all of my remaining clothing.

I'll be happier about it all when the ibuprofen kicks in, though.

Your witty muscles are in shape, though...

But speaking as one who's packed almost an entire one-bedroom apartment on his own, I feel your (and shadesong's) pain.

Since I *know* how much stuff that was....my wish for you is that your ibuprofen kicks in promptly and lasts a long while! :D

Dude, I packed the three-bedroom house mostly on my own. In three weeks. With fibro.

As I've said, fibromyalgia's a great anatomy lesson. I've discovered the same thing, the same way... *hugs*

My comment got past my Dumbass Filter. Pardon me; I should have phrased that better. (Alicia has fibro; I should be more sensitive to it.)

So glad you're getting more settled. What are you doing to relax now?

In an effort to actually help with the relaxin'...

...have you guys seen this YouTube performance by Sooj Tucker?

This is from before you first saw her. It might help with the relaxing. (If I remember correctly, this is her alligator song; I can't check videos from my old computer.)

Peace.

It is, indeed, that song. And yeah, we'll have to play it for Elayna.
