traxis on the run

My god it's been a long time since I last posted - been really busy with school, the office, and just finishing moving. On the 1st we finished bringing a few loads of just junk from my apartment over to the house. It was late at night after a whole day of running around and doing other work. We had taken more stuff from Chris' place too and it was probably 9 pm when we had finished loading all the stuff from my place too. I had to vacuum, wash the floors, dust the radiators, clean the bathroom, wash the walls, remove all the excess wall filler, and clean off my balcony - all in less than 2 hours. Oh, and I was just exhausted. Neil came over to help too, I gave him my BBQ. We all went out for dinner at a cajun place afterwards - Chris' treat, and I think I finally got to relax a bit after we finished up. I've had so much on my mind trying to keep all the pieces together - what was where, what needed to be done, and by what time, and all these pieces were intrically linked - certain things had to be done in a certain order or else that simply wouldn't work. In addition, I had to relly on Chris, because he has the car and is able to help out, however he's been so busy too, it was just a mess. Anyhow, that was done.

Next huge project was this newsletter I was working on, supposedly with someone else from the office, which took a ton of work, and I did most of it on my own. Brad was a huge help, and the thing looks really good right now, it's going to be online, so I'll put the post to it up in a little while. I've brought it to some meetings to distribute copies to the members, to date, I've had nothing but excellent responses about how lovely it is. Very proud.

Finally the last few days have been hectic with our Orientation for the new students. We've had lots of trouble getting funding for it, and other roadblocks have come into play, but after a few late nights of work, and a lot of running around by Chris, it all came out really well. It was funny actually - we had the head dentist and CEO of the company barbecue for us for like 2 hours. He was a really good sport about it.

Now it's been a little difficult calming back down to a normal routine, not being all high strung and on edge, which resulted in an argument between Chris and I last night, but I think things'll be better now, less work and more normalcy.

Next big event is our housewarming party on Saturday - will be good to see some kids we haven't seen in a while, and break up the monotony of working and just hanging out at home.
