WOW! Last week was about as busy a week as I've had in a long time, and the really weird thing about it is that I didn't do a single piece of illustration or design work. Not one!
This week is my wife's first back at school and it's a new school to boot. Because of that I spent all of last week moving everything from her old classroom that we had plopped down into storage, out of storage and into her new room...by myself.
You may not think that sounds like a whole heck of a lot, but this woman has collected a LOT of books in her twelve years of teaching and a lot of books mean a lot of heavy boxes. We actually had to rent a 16 foot U-Haul in order to move all this stuff.
After the moving was done I spent a good eight hours a day, every day, moving desks, moving tables, organizing papers, papering her walls, hanging stuff on those walls, creating more stuff to be hung on those walls, then hanging that created stuff up!
Toss in the fact that the air conditioning wasn't working because the school was still being built, and it was well over 100 outside and you've got a recipe for a tired and very stinky me.
Anyway, all is well that ends well I suppose, and her first day back went decently so I guess it was worth it.
She's going to owe me though...oh yes, she surly is...
Hopefully I can find some time this week to put the kibosh on this darn monster piece.

I hate moving, too.
The moving company packed up everything but my underwear drawer.
Yeah, I would've had them pack up my underwear, too... but they said they'd have to find a bigger moving box.
I kid.
Bu-Dum-Ching.
You're a regular Mel Zets I tell ya.
