Waiting for permission from the condo board to tear out the kitchen wall. Waiting to hear from the condo management company about how other people have renovated their bathrooms.

Post-Moving Pains

I might be the biggest wimp ever, or... moving may really be one of the most strenuous activities on earth!

We moved from a 3rd floor apartment (with no elevator) into a 3rd floor condo (with elevator). The stairs at the front end of our moved nearly killed me. Who in their right mind climbs up and down stairs for 3 hours straight?!

Day 1 after the move: hobbling, sore calves, sore everything else, whining, complaining etc...

Day 2 after the move: hobbling even worse, excruciatingly painful calves, sore everything else, whining, complaining. Refused to consume liquids all day because the bathroom was too far away to comfortably walk to. My co-workers told me I looked pathetic, like an old lady, needed a cane and so on.

Day 5 after the move (today): still a little sore, barely hobbling, consuming plenty of liquids just so I can get up and leave my desk frequently & legitimately!

Almost back to normal... except for the lingering paint fumes!
