Stinkin' Tired

I forgot how much I hate moving. Last night, I was reminded.
Becky and I realized while we were doing our move-in inventory that our new place was filthy. At first glance it looked clean, but the windows were pretty dirty and the blinds looked like they had never been cleaned since the day they were installed. The light fixtures all revealed the shadows of the dead bugs they contained, and the floors, which are tile and berber carpet, we decided needed to be cleaned after we cleaned everything else mentioned above.
So after we both worked full days yesterday, we went over there and cleaned.
In the time that it took me to clean mini-blinds on three windows (blade-by-blade using clorox wet wipes) and mop the tile, Becky cleaned all the window sills, washed the windows, and vacuumed and shampooed the carpet. w00t!
I removed all the light fixtures and wiped them clean on the outside. Becky vacuumed the carcasses out of the insides and I reinstalled them.
We got back to the apartment at 10:00 PM last night, exhausted and dirty. I showered and crawled into bed around 11:15 or so. Man did I want to kill my alarm this morning. Somehow I managed to make it to work but I think I’m only firing on one cylinder today, and I’m probably going to be this way well into next week. I’m sure Becky feels the same way.
It’s scary when you think about it. We’re both already exhausted from moving and we haven’t even moved a single box or piece of furniture yet.
All I can say about this is “yuck.”
