Ho, ho, ho, mofos

The move is done, or at least mostly (~98%) done... thank god. Everyone agrees that the new apartment is much better, and I concur, but the girlfriend and I are already starting to miss things about our old digs, and especially our crazy neighborhood. There was something so interesting and strange about living in Wynwood and watching it slowly change before your eyes. Our small piece of Miami Shores is much better on paper (very convenient to our favorite grocery store, my bank, my gym, my brother's, dry cleaning, the interstate, Starbucks, restaurants, shopping, etc.) and so I'm sure we'll really appreciate all of that with time.

There are only 2 boxes left to be opened in our new garage, and they are both mine. I've been waiting for the rest of the new office furniture to arrive before I make the final push to finish the improved working space, and since that got here today I guess now I have to make good on the promise. We ordered all of this new stuff from CB2 on Wednesday evening, and I guess because everyone is in Xmas-hyper drive it arrived early this afternoon without us paying for extra shipping.

The painting is done. Family is in town. Judy's wisdom teeth are gone. I'm just about done with shopping. My life is all short sentences. Commas are bad.

It's been so stressful moving, painting, traveling, finishing off several freelance jobs, and the rest of the holiday stuff, that I've been forcing myself to really close off to everything but one single thought. Bird by bird. I planned to create a series of time-exposures to document our moving process... but even that was too complicated for my current state of mind, and I ended up only making 1 short episode in the loft.

But anyway, its over. The girlfriend and I are very happy. Christmas is here. And to all a good night...
