still kicking

kayreWow, almost two weeks between posts this time. I've been back to Vermont twice since then; once to attempt self-install of Laura's cable tv, and help her set up bank account and library card; second time to wait for cable guy. Still don't have TV set up as we wish, and I utterly detest ComCast at this point- their website doesn't give clear information about certain devices.
Meanwhile I've had shoulder muscles tightening up to a crippling degree; probably strained something during the move, though I did very little heavy lifting. It got so bad that I had a professional massage Monday (certified massage therapist); Jen did deep tissue massage to release the knots, but that left me suffering from the massage, and muscles still trying to knot up again. Today I finally feel somewhat better. I have a follow-up massage tomorrow, which we have already agreed will focus mostly on soothing all the irritation.
Now of course we are focused on our own move. We circulated the last necessary documents this week, and are awaiting final review on both sides before closing. Original proposed date was next Thursday but because of the holiday weekend I suspect we'll end up into the following week. I can live with that as long as we can move well before the end of the month.
Hubby and I went in to measure and plan this week. Still in love. Realtor was late, so I walked around outside and found a perfect spot for some lilacs, which to my delight are on most "deer don't like them" lists. I have sometimes wondered if it's too big for us-- 9 rooms! But they are small rooms. We will have 1/3 less finished space than in Vermont, though quite a lot more unfinished. Space for big messy projects, whee! We agreed the basement would be more cheerful if we paint it, and hubby surprised me by asking if we could do big stripes or blocks of bright colors-- heck yeah!
