After a danged slow start, I finally rearranged the furniture in my bedroom into its final configuration and assembled the bed which has supported so much reading, so much sleep, so much songwriting and so much transitory fun into shape. I really tightened it down pretty hard in the reassembly – with any luck it’s going to stop its assortment of interesting noises. Then I went to the dress rehearsal for the ticket taking. I get to be lead hand for Saturday night as Peggy (the writer, not the doctor, and a former writing group colleague – wonderful wonderful prose stylist) won’t be there; I was a value add as I kept asking questions like what do we need for a float and what’s the dress code (I had, providentially given the general deshabille after the move, put aside an entirely black outfit). Then home. Too tired – jammed on the Luddite. Okay, I just moved; I’m allowed to be bagged. It’s pouring rain.

Chipper pointed this out to me
To quote Eric Frank Russell
I feel like a half stunned cripple, and Jeff collected a few bruises and scrapes as well, but the big furniture is in and I slept on at least a portion of my bed in the new place last night. Yahoo, as they say. I should have been pushing stuff into corners after we got here, but the lure of watching the first two episodes of Deadwood with Jeff was too great. I slept with the door open and Eddie came to visit me sometime around four. He makes as much noise as a person walking.
This guy will never be President.
Sigh. We can dream about it.
Mind you, neither will these gents.
Phew.
Today, unpacking, bed assembly, and then over to St James Hall for the dress rehearsal of the show and then to visit the Luddite. I just wish I felt more like moving.
