Oh I am not awake. The movers finally showed up at 6 pm, was the end result. By 8, all the furniture was at the house and where I wanted it. Scott and I brought over one set of carloads so there's still more stuff to bring from the apartment.
If I'd known the movers were going to be there at six, I could have structured the day differently and gotten a lot more done than I did. I also forgot to have them bring the lights (no biggie; Scott and I disassembled two of the three and hauled them, and will do the other today or sometime), and the deck chairs (uh, Dad? Wanna haul another load in your truck, pleeeease? - maybe this weekend?).
They didn't have anything to protect the carpet so I didn't have them try to address it, so the Thing Full Of Mud is still there. Bleh.
Still, we have half our dishes and enough stuff to live on at the house, and the rest of things will follow. The deck is the big headache remaining, everything else is just a nuisance. Tonight I'll haul - maybe just one more load. I'm awfully tired. Sunday I was up till midnight, Monday I got up at 6:30 expecting movers by 9 and only dared nap for about half an hour, not knowing when they'd come. And bed last night? Almost 11 - after we did one run and unloaded it and had dinner, which we didn't until 9:30. Eek.
And, yes, the DSL is not working yet. I have dial-in enabled but frankly, I did not have the energy after everything else.
The local grocery store is a Thriftway, and normally they are a decent store (but not very thrifty to shop at - other places have better prices). This one appears to have a good selection, and a layout designed by a sadist. Nothing is next to what it would logically be next to. In many cases, they aren't even near each other. Bread, for example. The bread aisle is not near the deli (where the store's bread is), and there's a bread stand in the back, as well. The aisle with the bread was so hard to find I finally had to ask. They have aisles running front-to-back and side-to-side and they overlay each other so you have to wander back and forth.
I think this store is some college sophomore's psych experiment, frankly....
And I arrived this morning to problems at one site (with one machine), problems at another (this one live) site (with one machine - distrbution issues), etc. However, I did arrive to find that two people had hold of the issues, one each, and just needed to touch base with me and confirm what was going on.
Not too bad. Also arrived to have P. ask me what he was supposed to do next. Now...I assigned him a whole list of bug reports to go down. They're not all done. So that's an easy question he should not have needed to ask....

Understatement of the day...
When we first moved to Seattle, the closest store was a Thriftway. Ouch. Seattle's expensive anyway, but it was still outrageous. There was another Thriftway nearby (but closer to Alki beach, the ritzy, rich end of West Seattle) that looked like a boutique. The inside and the outside.
Thrifty it is NOT.
