New place and new bruises

Posted in City Adventures at 9:53 pm by shawnitalea

In the last two days I have moved 4.8 miles up the road to a great little two bedroom apartment.  But, I also had to run to Walla Walla, WA to get the rest of my belongings that would not fit in the old place.  So 4.8 miles turned in a whirlwind trip across the great state of Oregon with a quick jaunt into Washington.  Somehow in all of this moving I managed to give myself large bruises on each extremity of my body, I tend to use my body to push and manhandle boxes and furniture to where I want them to go instead of muscles.  I think this is a practice that most women use when moving, not that I have done a study on this.  But I have moved quite a bit and observed men and women.

It was nice to make a quick stop into the Walla Walla Ranger District Office and see some friendly faces.  Although I was told to “have a great life” when I left by one of my favorite people.  I will be back to visit my friends and family in Walla Walla, I will not be leaving you forever friends.  Hoping to get some pictures of my sweater project up in the next couple of days…been slightly preoccupied with the move and packing this last week.
