Today has been quite productive, which doesn't fit with my original intentions of making this a rest day. My joints and muscles are rested, yes, but I started the day by renewing the purple dye in my hair. It had gotten pretty pale, and I had a feeling that if I didn't do it today, I wouldn't get to it until several days after the move.
I then did a few hours worth of copyediting/proofreading, spread out over twice as much time. (Since I'm not charging by the hour for this job, I haven't bothered to track the time, because it's one less thing to deal with right now.)

cattitude spent more time working on the diagrams of our new apartment, enabling us to get out the little furniture models* from last time and starting deciding what goes where. The current solution is labeled "tentative," but it's workable, and is most of what we'll need to be able to tell the movers Tuesday: we have designated one bedroom as our bedroom and the other as a study, figured out where the bed and dressers go, and decided where we probably want our desks. (There turns out to be one reasonable answer to the bedroom question, given a queen-size bed, our two dressers, and two bedside tables.)
At that point I was running low on executive function, so we decided that the rest can wait until tomorrow or Friday. We need to figure out where the couch goes, and approximately where we want the dining table and my recliner. The table and recliner are less urgent than the couch because we can rearrange them ourselves; the couch and desks are too heavy and/or awkward for us to move.
Last night I emailed a cleaning company thatgingicat recommended; they wrote back today, saying they have availability, and asked some questions so they can give me a price estimate.
Maybe I can make Saturday a rest day.
*"Models" sounds impressive and 3D. We have rectangles, circles, and a couple of odd shapes cut out of graph paper, with labels like "V chair" and "red rug."
