Moving Day
Yep, today. Today we move.
Let me run down the last week for you.
Saturday, we took the boy to see the Alamo. Good. Sunday we spent in Austin. Also good.
Monday, Griffin was sick all the way home. Bad.
At home Monday night, I got sick with a doozy of a virus. Oh, bad. Stayed in bed most of Tuesday, instead of, say, finishing the packing or cleaning the house.
Tuesday night Aidan developed strange spots on his legs. Wednesday the doctor diagnosed him with a form of purpura which, while not dangerous, will leave him with painful, swelling legs for days, perhaps a couple of weeks. Oh, not good at all.
Also on Wednesday, Connor got my virus and spent a large part of the day in bed. So did Aidan. ("Bed" at this point means a mattress on the floor, as everything else in the house was gone.) Scrap plans to move on Thursday.
Thursday Lachlan decided to drop a rock on Griffin's finger. Spent afternoon in ER waiting for x-rays to determine that finger is not broken. Oh, brother.
Thursday night Lachlan christened Home Depot with his onset of Griffin's earlier stomach virus.
It's Friday morning. Can we go now???

Maybe it's a sign that you're NOT supposed to move.
Yeah, that's it.

See, all the bad stuff is out of the way. You now have been cleared for take off.
Have a great trip. We'll miss you in Texas (even though we've only met once). You did the state proud!

I hope you all had good health and great good luck for a smooth move yesterday!
The good news is that you'd think you've used up all the bad karma for a while lol.
