Aftermath!

I suppose one of these days I should do a wedding recap! My brain is super-cluttered right now, as I continue to be insanely busy. The day after the wedding we had brunch with my cousins and then we ran around town returning sound equipment and stuff. There was also tons of food that had to be repacked and shuffled around in the fridge. The day after that we ran more errands, did laundry, packed, and left for Astoria (which was wonderful). We got back Friday night and have been trying to work on our apartment, which was filled with mason jars, dishes, napkins and tablecloths and runners. All of which needed to be washed! Some of which were covered with red spray paint dots from a can that exploded in the back yard. Saturday we had a last-minute "come eat our cake" bbq, where I got no less than 50 mosquito bites.  Sunday was more cleaning, and running loads of mason jars in our upstairs housemate's dishwasher, and then the mosquito bites started to inflame. My Monday was mostly spent laying around in an itchy stupor after getting little sleep. Today they're a little less intense and I'm getting some stuff done!

I'm making a list of the things we're going to sell now that the wedding is over. By some miracle of the universe, all of the white tablecloths came clean, despite having cherry juice dripped all over them! I'm selling those, table squares, milk-glass, tissue paper, kids' games, serving trays, the white FiestaWare pitcher (which I really don't need), and a bunch of other stuff. I can't wait to have it out of my life!

I feel like there are so many things I still need to process, but between the insane mess of our apartment, and the itch of the mosquito bites, I can barely even think. I want to write a huge recap of the wedding and the madness leading up to it. I want to write about our honeymoon. And I want to write about how weird it feels to use the word "husband" and how our relationship has changed. I just need to clear some physical/mental space first!
