And I'm spent.

We finished our move late last night. And boy, am I glad THAT's over. The new apartment is a bit smaller (only one bathroom as opposed to two), and there's a lot of responsibility that goes with it, but I'm sure we'll enjoy it. As much as it's possible to, at least. Today, Reeta's at training, I'm here with Claire, working from home, and there's insulation being installed, an apartment being painted, prospective renters showing up, a ton of boxes and things to unpack here, etc., etc., etc...

On the up side, it looks like due to all the manual labor and what not I've been doing, I've lost five pounds. Hopefully I can keep doing some manual labor and continue this as a trend.

The new apartment also has a pool, where I've already sunburned myself. Claire swam by herself for the first time without the use of flotation devices. Of course, she was holding her nose with one hand, and kicking for dear life, and her posterior was sticking out of the water, but she did it! I'm so proud. Though, to be honest, it makes me a little nervious to see her pushing new boundaries. I'm happy for her, but still nervous.

And although it's not a very large pool (certainly not Olympic sized), it IS very deep at the back end - 9 ft. That makes it possible for me to revive an old favorite - the cannonball. I'll be makin' a big splash this summer - woot! Perhaps I'll post a picture later.
