Cynically Optimistic

I'm exhausted. It took about 4 hours to move everything into my new place. After that I had to run to work for a couple of hours followed by playing a softball double-header. We lost both games but played the two toughest teams in the league and really held our own against them. No more blowouts, Waaaahoooooo!

Then I returned to my new place, with huge piles of my stuff everywhere. Thankfully, I had a pleasant little Spanish helper to move things quickly along. We just did the minimum for the evening: set up the bed, dresser, and bathroom. I still have a lot lot lot of cleaning to do since there's still a lot of construction dust around. I should probably just get used to that since a lot of small things need to be repainted, repaired, or tweaked. I did manage to plug in my TV in time to catch The Amazing Race after a 5 minute delay due to the Yankee's game. Stupid Yankees. But next week I get to see it early (7 PM) because of the late Yankee's game. I must say that I am a bit baffled by the change in fast-forward policy and petty theft that has been added this year, but we'll see how it all plays out. I want to see the mom's panhandle.

More cleaning and setup tonight, and I'm sore from all the heavy lifting. I should get back to the gym.
