I'm in the air, I'll meet you there

Rabbit, rabbit! That was a terrible move. It was neither the most emotionally traumatizing I have been involved with nor the most logistically disorganized, but the end stages ran far longer than planned, i.e. overnight, with the result that by the time I passed out briefly this afternoon I had been awake for strictly about twenty-nine hours and functionally more like fifty—I did sleep the night before last, but very little owing to the matutinal plague of leafblowers. It was a sort of contingent move moreover, but the cats are safe and we have roofs, if not rooms of our own. Like the turtles of my mother's stories, we carry our homes.

I may always miss the view from this back deck. I will have to find as green a density of trees.

*sends all my good wishes*

Glad y'all have a place to be. Sending good wishes for rest before a potential next move, given "sort of contigent"--but it's good that you're safely away from the old apartment.

[selkie]

You did it! You lived! I hope you're asleep again!

[kore]

So glad your cats are safe, just want you to be, too.

[yhlee]

*hugs* I hope you can get some real rest now. *support support*

[viggorlijah]

Sleep and more nature and may you find new views to make more beautiful memories with. Moving is hell.

[nineweaving]

Rest on your oars. I hope you get your view of green trees.

*hugs*

I'm glad you've gotten out! Here's hoping your next landing place will be much nicer.

[thawrecka]

Get some good rest, and good luck with the next move!

[pameladean]

The back deck was splendid. May you find another equally so, rented out by actual human beings who care about their property and their tenants.

In the shorter term, I wish you very sweet sleep.

Moving is always a nightmare and this sounds to have been worse than some so I'm glad you got through it all!

[thisbluespirit]

Sounds exhausting! may you find a lot of green to make up for it! ♥

[mrissa]

I hate moving so much under the best of circumstances, and my heart just aches for you under these. I hope your next place is so much better.

[davidgillon]

Wishing you sound sleep, and a room of your own as soon as logistically feasible.

[umadoshi]

*hugs* I'm glad you're in a safe (and roofed!) place.

[radiantfracture]

Seconding the wishes and supports of other folks.

[genarti]

What a splendidly green view, despite other deficiencies of the apartment! Congratulations on achieving the move, awful though it was. Wishing you a new roof of your own soon, with an equally green profusion of a view, and restful breathing space in the interim.

[kathmandu]

That is a nice view, almost ferny in the delicate lacy profusion.

Good thing you took pictures.

P.S. I am impressed that in sleep deprivation like that, you can still deploy vocabulary like 'matutinal'.

[skygiants]

I'm so sorry it was so miserable but so glad it's done! I hope you got SO MUCH sleep last night!!!

[gwynnega]

I hope you've had some good sleep by now.
