M + One

Yesterday was rather long in the tooth, yet ultimately satisfying.  Everyone who had volunteered to help us move actually showed up and the actual move was accomplished by 11 AM.  I had the whole thing organized to the max with all the boxes labeled as to where they were to end up.  I also had a plan for how I wanted to maximize the space in the truck which in the end left us some empty space in the back end.   I was prepared to reward my friends for helping with a picnic style meal of cold fried chicken and my home made potato salad.  I was really very pleased that we had accomplished the whole thing as smoothly and quickly as we did.  All that was left then was to unpack and get settled in.  I also had to work last night from 5-11, however I had almost everything put up and assembled except for the sofa pieces before I left for work.  

The sore muscles started kicking in about that time and I struggled a little to move around, but I made it  all the way to end without collapsing.  All is good that ends well, so they say.  After returning home I continued the settling in process and got the sofa put back together and the pictures hung before finally hitting the bed for some rest.  I have a virtual tour of the new place posted below this paragraph so you can see the new home of Nichevo for yourselves.  

I have a doctor's appointment at the VA at 1245 today for my initial screening and exam.  I also have to renew my prescriptions to change them over from the JPS pharmacy to the VA pharmacy.  Then as per usual, I work tonight from 5 PM to 2 AM.  So there really is no rest for the wicked, therefore I shall continue to be as wicked as I can and worry about catching up on my rest when I can.  

Your Musical Moment for Friday features the Music of Beethoven with a live recording of a BBC Proms performance of his Piano Concerto Number 4 in G Major by Soloist Mitsuko Uchida with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Mariss Jansons.  The video includes a short pre-concert interview with the Soloist and an encore piece by Bach.  You may also hear Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D Major, Opus 61 in a 1959 recording by Leonard Bernstein, the New York Philharmonic orchestra and Soloist Isaac Stern over on my tumblr. 

Then to get the first weekend in May off to a great start, we return once again to our salute to the hirsute with a collection of bears, cubs and otters in this week's edition of Furry Friday on display below the video.  There is also your Furry Friday Hottie of the Day! to be appreciated over on my tumblr.  Thank you for sharing a part of your Friday with me, have a Fabulous weekend and we will see you on the morrow.  Until next time as always, Enjoy!
