Deal
Did anyone get the number of that truck that just ran over me?
Holy crap.
Well, I'm moved.
Sorta.
Mostly.
Yeah, it's pretty well done.
The movers were coming at 3:00. I headed over to The Belfry at 1:00 to load the car with little stuff and start the cleaning.
Hot. Really hot.
The movers arrived at 1:30.
Not a bad thing, except I wasn't really ready and I had a 3 hour limit (including their drive time) to get it done.
Luckily there was very little that they had to do. Just the love seat, a few chairs, the bed and dresser, a TV. Not much at all (compared to what it COULD have been).
I've never seen anyone move so slow in all my life. I don't think even lighting a firecracker and stickin' it in their asses would gotten them up to speed.
Tick Tock. Ching Ching.
Yeah - I loaded the car and started carryin' shit down to the truck. Mama didn't raise me to sit back and watch, plus this was on MY dime.
We got everything out and over to Paradise. To discover the love seat and chair will not fit down the basement stairs. Damn it
Change of plans. That's now what's in the living room, with my Mama's chairs and I'll just pick up something inexpensive for the family room. Even if I can't, we're still ok for Football Sunday upstairs.
The bed is set up. YEAH!!! Bye Bye air mattress! Waving
They knocked some off the bill since I had to help. That, and they forgot tools to take the bed apart. Lucky for me the Landlady was home....
Now, I've got to rustle up something to eat and then get back over to The Belfry. Gotta get the rest of the loose stuff and clean. I'm thinkin' an hour or two at worse case scenario.
But meanwhile, I'm sitting here, blogging, in the golden throne with my feet up. The central air is re-cooling the house down and I'm thinking I might just sleep tonite.
It still won't be "Settled" for a while, but at least I'm off the folding chairs and comfy. And.....everything is all in one place.
THIS I can deal with.

Posted by: Mrs. Who at July 5, 2007 06:08 PMThe hardest part is over! The thing that I love about unpacking is the 'fresh start' feeling - counters aren't dusty, you can wipe off things as they come out of the boxes and everything has a little *sparkle* to it... And this time, it's YOURS! Congrats!!!

I tried to comment twice earlier but got errors, so thought I'd check tonight... I'm so glad you got moved! :)
Well it will have to be ready by Football Sundays. That is the only thing that matters!!

Moving blows. And not in a good way.
Glad you're all moved in. Crank up the A/C and sleep. Good night!
