so. i've been driving i65 for days.
but finally ... on thursday night ... i stopped.
and i must say ... i may never leave this apartment.
because everything is up three flights of stairs.
even the legendary couch.
and although the amount of boxes is rather frightening ...
and i am ridiculously sleep deprived ...
(who wakes up at 5 am on days when they can sleep until 9?)
this whole situation is shaping up to be ... well ...
fan.tas.tic.
