I moved to a 4th floor apartment. I’m not sure what prompted that. In theory, it doesn’t sound that bad. But once you start carrying couches up the stairs, the pivoting, and then up more stairs, you start to question your judgment. Why in the world did I choose to live on the 4th floor? I guess the “worst decision of my life” is a little bit of an exaggeration, but it sure did feel like it today. After moving the couches yesterday I was slightly sore, and it’s only worsened today.

Walking up the stairs with my 21” CRT monitor was probably one of the most painful experiences of my life though, truthfully. More painful than the spring incident and the dumpster incident (you’ll have to ask me about that some other time if you don’t know). Half way through I just wanted to throw it over the banisters but I lacked the strength to get it above the bars. After recovering some strength I did the same thing with my 19” monitor, lighter, but after the 21” my muscles were exhausted. I ended up dropping it flat on the glass side. It’s actually a shame that it didn’t break, that would have saved me the effort of bringing it all the way up the stairs.

Next I broke my desk down into four pieces so that I could make it as easy as possible to transport and as soon as all of it was in the new apartment I put it back together and started setting up my computers. Because, well, that’s kind of a priority. I can’t blog if I don’t have a computer. You should be thankful that I wasn’t too tired to do that.

Oh, I forgot to mention I fell asleep on the couch for four hours after work. That’s kind of the reason I haven’t passed out yet. Except that I already passed out prior to this and now I’m post-passed-out. Basically I don’t plan on passing out again till it’s actually time to go to sleep. But apparently I’m not awake enough to make sense, so I apologize.

Anyways, going up four flights of stairs is a pain even when you’re not carrying something that weighs 80 pounds. What about in the winter when everything is icy? No doubt I’ll be falling down some stairs at some point in the near future. Good thing I’ve got insurance now.
