And on the forty-third day she rested. In fact, she got a massage. And she saw that it was good. Really, really good.
By the time the move was over Sunday night, I couldn’t lift my arms without all sorts of internal alarms going off. So, yesterday I made the executive decision that me and my aching back, we were going for a massage. I did the little, Can We Afford This? dance for a bit, but pfft! Can we really afford for me to be broken? I think not.
I feel worlds (WORLDS!) better. It’s been about two weeks since I could even bow my head and now I can look down at my feet and even check my blind spot like a real, safe-for-the-road driver. And my thumbs aren’t tingly anymore. Bingo!
There are still far too many unemptied boxes to go taking any “after” pictures, but I’m guessing by week’s end, I will be inundating you all with them.
T minus 11 days until the wedding. Supposed to have a fitting on Thursday – because if trying on the dress for the first time nine days before the wedding isn’t totally calm-inspiring, I don’t know what is. Rock ‘n roll.
So that’s 12 days until honeymoon, right? Then everything else will unclench.
Only 264 hours? Eh, who’s counting!
Don’t break yourself. If you MUST, however, do it before the fitting. Blood and casts look terrible with wedding dresses, anyway.
Your house will be fine. You’ll be beautiful. Italy will be wonderful. BREEEEEEEEEEATHE!!!
You’re doing just great, Kiddo!
Stay focused!
Keep smilin’.
And Kudos to you for takin’ some “me” time.
Fish! You don’t know me, but because I love you, I’m sending you this to cheer you up:

Yay! You made it! Stupid neck pain
I thought I’d be healthy and start doing yoga at home.. and then I managed to pull a muscle in my neck! Figures!
I can’t wait to go to Italy! The plan is next year (this year is Greece!). Have you been to the Cinque Terre? Do you prefer the Amalfi Coast?
I’m just a reader, but I am so excited for your wedding! Having just gotten married in January, I can understand that right now you’re swamped with house/wedding/doing everything in your power not to assault naysayers. Before you go completely off the air to celebrate this awesome time, I wanted to say congratulations to you and the Dork Lord, and enjoy your big day, honeymoon, and the many truly blessed things to come.
