I am exhausted.
When I bought Lillias, I realized that I needed to do some rearranging to fit her into my studio. That’s not a huge deal for me because I’m one of those people who needs to rip out all their cables every six months and rewire in a constantly losing effort to keep my cable runs organized. So, I pulled apart my recording equipment, moved the futon around, and generally just prepared some room for Lillias.
Wednesday morning arrived, and sure enough, Lillias would fit through the door into the studio. At all. So I had the movers leave her in the living room which is really NOT where I wanted her to be) and I went to work. While at work, I mulled over my options, and realized that I had only two. I could leave Lillias in the living room, or I could swap my studio and my bedroom. So, I called on a friend to help, and when I got home Wednesday night, we moved all my bedroom furniture out of the bedroom, moved all the studio furniture into the old bedroom, and then moved the bedroom furniture into the old studio. And then we moved Lillias.
Let me just take a moment to state that, although Lillias is a digital (albeit a hybrid one) piano, she weighs every single bit as much as an acoustic spinnet piano. Which is to say: a blue ton.
That meant that, when I went to bed last night, it looked as though my apartment had been set upon by a pack of rabid dogs on acid. There were cables EVERYWHERE. (I probably have enough cables in my apartment that, if they were laid end to end, they would reach the moon.) I also decided that, while I was in the midst of rearranging my life, I might as well start doing my spring cleaning. I’ve been really wanting to start getting rid of a lot of stuff. So I pulled over 150 of my DVDs and have them in the car to go to Goodwill. I’m throwing away my extra box spring and bed frame, I got rid of old towels, comforters, sheets, blankets, and more. I’m getting rid of the boxes for much of my electric gadgetry.
So, tonight, I spent the whole night trying to continue my cleanup, hanging the sound absorption panels in my studio, boxing up the stuff for Goodwill, doing the week’s worth of dishes sitting in the kitchen, and starting to wire up my studio…a project that usually takes a few days to fully complete.
So basically, I moved yesterday and unpacked today. I wasn’t planning on moving again so soon. Now I must sleep.
