Moving - done.
Ahh. A feeling of relief washed over me as the movers carried in the last of the boxes and furnishings. But that feeling was soon replaced by panic, when I realized just how much unpacking I have to do.
Movers showed up late, of course. 6 hours late to be exact. We got two guys - a redneck who complained about his gum disease, bi-polar disorder and his sick wife in the hospital, and an A&M student studying physical therapy who’s only complaint was, “I’m glad this isn’t my real job.”
They got everything moved. It took several hours. I didn’t discover until last nite that our DVR player never made it to the new location. I tipped the guys pretty well, so I don’t think they took off with it intentionally. I have high hopes that it was just misplaced.
The kitchen, living area and bathrooms are in order. But that’s about it. I still have a room full of boxes. I made it through 6 or so yesterday. Many more to go.
Having to choose between sleep and emptying boxes was an easy choice for most of the weekend. The boxes won. But that was a bad choice last nite, however, when I realized that I was still up at 1 AM organizing my recipes and I knew I had to get up at 6 for work. Yikes!
So far….the cable isn’t working right. The computers aren’t hooked up yet. Irony of ironies? The oven isn’t working. LMAO. I did get to take a bath though. That was super awesome. The kitten has adjusted quickly to his new surroundings and I need a nap. I’m sure I’ll be feeling much better in a few days. Happy to be in our new place. It’s quite adorable, all things considered.

Glad to hear you're all moved in. Sorry to hear about the DVR.
Who did you end up going with, mover-wise?
I see you went with Able Bodied. Sorry they were late, they were early when we used them. I'd give them a call about the DVR.
Hooray for the new kitty!! Cats totally rock. Enjoy every bit of the 17 to 18 years you get with him.
17 or 18 years? Whoa. That's more of a commitment than I thought. lol.
Ya know, I didn't really mind so much that the movers showed up late. Since we were up all nite, it gave us time to take a nap before they arrived. But the DVR is still missing and now they won't return my calls. Grr.
