conjectural navel gazing; jesus in lint form

ah, moving and such

Well, we are finally preparing to move. All the little and large details are falling into place. We have chosen a moving company per the recommendation of our friends. They also move pianos. Why does this matter? Well, let me tell you. You see, Trish knows someone who knows a guy who is trying to get rid of their piany. It is a parlor grand, about 4'9". We are getting is for an impossibly small price because they want it out of their home. The movers move pianos as well, so they will also get it on the moving day. The charge is minimal. We will pay it separate from the regular moving price so the church is not responsible for this extra bit of confusion. A piano...who knew?

I am packing boxes today. There are many, many books. Most of mine will go to the church. The movers will not have to schlep them. That is good.

The apartment is thus a place of chaos. Not only are we moving, but the upstairs apartment is being redone. Yep, right now I can hear the crashing of plaster walls being torn down. It is a bit distracting and unnerving. The cats are taking it well...for cats. The only real downside is that the construction workers left the back door open and someone came in to the porch and stole my upright cycle. I was, well, angry. I have since cooled off and will call our very nice landlord. I really don't want to anger this guy. He's been good to us, but he's responsible for what the construction workers do or don't do. A call is necessary.

So, right now moving feels like wrestling. And I am in a headlock. Not so comfortable. I am excited about the move. The parsonage is lovely and the people from CCW have been tremendously helpful. The associate at CCW has been generous. The interim at CCW has been generous. I am well cared for and I recognize this fact.

God is good.
