This has been a rough move. Our apartment is great, but I didn't have a bed until yesterday, my furniture won't be here until Wednesday, and I'm currently riding someone else's wireless just to be connected. The delivery crew for the mattress store gave me a window from 7-11, so I woke up early on our hardwood floors to be ready for them, only to wait around until they showed up at 12:30. IKEA's "next day delivery if you buy before three pm" is actually next week delivery.
The upside is I have achieved new heights of spiritual awareness. My inner serenity is now entirely imperturbable - I am less a still pond than a lake of glass. Today when the cursed Swedes piled on fresh indignities after a five-hour devotional procession through their overcrowded, understocked azure cathedral I did not want to run over a single child with my cart. This is a profound growth, and I am still only beginning to treasure it in fullness.
