May was a difficult month. It wasn't all bad (Shawn's birthday! the arrival of Shawn's dad to help with the move!) but even the good stuff came with its own set of challenges (Shawn's new job! That required a 4-day trip to San Francisco, which turned into a 5-day trip after a massive travel fail resulted in a 24-hour trip from San Francisco to Vancouver.)
Shawn went away for the May long weekend. He goes away every year with the same group of guys for four days of shenanigans. Months ago (when he had to pay for his portion of the trip) Shawn asked if I was okay with him going this year. We knew about Willie but the move and the new job weren't in the picture. So I told him I would be fine. And then we sold the condo and had to move the last weekend in May (the weekend after the trip.) And then the job opportunity came along and he had to be in San Francisco for the weekend before the trip. And my head started to melt.
We've been in the new condo for almost a week. The move was horrible and stressful and disorganized but it's finished (thanks to the kindness of our families and friends who seriously saved our asses.) Our condo is a mess of unpacked boxes and half-built furniture. Shawn started last week with a cold and ended up with the flu. I caught Shawn's cold and ended up with a chest infection. We're miserable and ill and we don't like each other very much right now. But the move is finished. And soon we will be organized and settled and we can be friends again.

Oh wow, when it rains it pours - the move and being sick and logistics all sound challenging. Get well soon! Welcome to your new home :)
ReplyDeletemoving BLOWS.
ReplyDeleteHorrible, stressful and disorganized sounds EXACTLY like our move. On the last day of the move, we took a break to get Quiznos. Our brains were FRIED and neither of us could figure out if we should get a small or regular sized sandwich. Somehow this led to me absolutely refusing to speak to her while we ate. MOVING IS SUCH GOOD TIMES.
ReplyDeleteSo glad all that is over for you. Now rest up and get rid of that chest infection!
Hugs, friend.

The good thing about all this stuff is one day, you will look back and laugh about how crazy life was. For now, I'm sorry you're suffering. May it end soon (pun intended). xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe rest of June will be much, much better and you will get well and like your husband again and get all settled in your new place. I predict this with certainty. Hugs, hunny bunny.
ReplyDeletei hate moving SO SO SO VERY VERY MUCH, and that's under normal, not-sick, not-pregnant, not-stressed, not-new-job, not-forced-to-be-occupied-elsewhere husband. LADY. you guys both deserve medals for living through this. ESPECIALLY you. a special "you didn't kill anyone despite everything" medal for doing it WHILE pregnant.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a pretty horrible month hey, hope you guys feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteUgh with more UGH. I'm sorry you've all been through the ringer. Here's hoping June is much easier, healthier and fun.
