lifting stuff and moving stuff around

Hello people. I'm so tired I barely know what's going on. I'll give you a little update though.

I moved out this week. I now live with Erinn on Six and the big GR. The place is cool and it's nice to have to buy groceries. Yes, you heard that: It's nice to buy groceries. I forgot how much I love grocery shopping. It's empowering and fun and rewarding to see my old time favorites in the fridge--such as string cheese and vanilla creamer. So... I'm almost done moving in, though most of my books and all ove my DVDs and my bookshelf are at my parents' still. I beat the heat by a day, so I'm happy about that. I now live in Old Redford--interesting because I just wrote a song about it--Old Redford, that is.

I've also been moving stuff around at JCP. I've gotten lots of hours there lately because of inventory. If you've ever worked in retail, you must know what a pain inventory is. It happens once a year and they have to count everything in the store. So my job has been to go through every item and make sure it has a price tag to scan. Argh. I decided it was bad, but not as bad as Christmas. Nothing is as bad as Christmas in retail.

Finally, I've been moving stuff at the Jewish Ensemble Theater--today's the last day of props. Two of the prop crew--Annie and Joe, are in tech for a show at the Blackbird theater in Ypsi, so I've had to do every show this week (usually I've had 2 days, this week, five). The last show is tonight, after which I plan to go home and go to bed as early as possible, and because I don't have to work tomorrow, sleep in as late as possible.

Sorry the update was so boring. I think I'm generally more interesting when I'm awake.
