What a way to kick off the autumn. Admittedly, it’s not “officially” the fall yet, but there’s a nip in the air and the quilt is back on the bed. Of course, that bed is still in the apartment and not the house… I was hoping to start moving in this weekend, but floors were still drying yesterday. And only one bedroom is done. It’s technically my bedroom that is done, but the other two are just as important, since all 4 of us have to be out of our respective current dwellings by the 31st. So it’s a matter of packing and moving after work almost every day this week. Ack!
However, this weekend was put to very very very good use. Friday night began with an evening at the Blue Door. A rather hilarious evening that included everything from making ice cream to seeing God’s take on Guam. Next on the docket was Rocky Horror Picture Show. While it wasn’t as adventurous as last time in February, it was still a lot of fun. Even though someone stole my whip when we got up to do the Time Warp 
Saturday was a very full day – after sleeping in until the unheard-of hour of noon! Coffee and internet at the local shop, then helping a friend get ready for amateur drag night. Everything from dress shopping to doing nails and makeup… including watching a bit of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert for inspiration. The performance was great, and the evening out was just pure fun. It was quite interesting to watch the reactions of both the crowd and individuals. Of course we stayed out dancing until after three. YAY!
Sunday… I had hoped to move. Instead, however, I did nine loads of laundry, cleaned up the house, and even sorted through six month’s worth of a pile of opened mail.
And as far as my reactions to the weekend – mentally, I’m stressing less about the move. I have reached the point where I can’t do much of anything, and stressing does me absolutely no good. This means I could actually relax and realize I have amazing friends, I will like my roommates, and life is generally looking up. I’m going on nine months in this city now, and it feels like it’s been two months… or two years. Either way, we’ve got a few killer parties planned!
