It’s been a difficult week. I mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s been exhilarating, joyful, momentous, and stupendous but it’s also been scary, arduous, chaotic, and strenuous. However, I don’t tend to thrive on chaos, especially not while in physical pain.
Tonight, though, River and I are snuggled on my new mattress after a week of me sleeping on an air mattress and the furry ones not really allowed on the mattress for fear of punctures. So, after a very long car ride and the shock of a new house, Satchmo is sleeping soundly and River is enjoying some momma time.
It’s good to be in my new, albeit temporary, home. It’ll be better when the movers get here. It’s amazing to be home in my favorite city. I haven’t even made it out to really stretch my legs, though I sure took the time to shake my ass to Rebirth Brass Band. My liver is no doubt super happy I stayed in today to rest and recuperate, along with build my new mattress foundation. I’m looking forward to a good night of sleep, though my schedule is definitely off, and a fresh start tomorrow taking care of some business.
I have another two weeks to acclimate until beginning work again and I already have a jam packed schedule for the next two weekends. I’m looking forward to lots of self care and alone time, along with getting out and making new friends. I’m just excited to get to shape my time and my life here.
And to sleep tonight on my lovely new wool mattress.
