So, first time ever, I skipped blogging completely two days in a row, Sunday and Monday. Forgive me, but I am really trying to move my household and still hold on to work that needs to be done. Something had to give. It was you.
Sunday I spent at work trying very hard to get tax returns out the door. It is very tough to complete them and move them out at times. Other times I may finish 20 in a day. Weird business. Home late and spent a couple hours packing. We have too much crap. Emily had spent the day packing and she was in bed. Asleep. Which is where I went too.
Early Monday morn, Todd and the crew front All Pro Moving showed up. Todd has moved me three times and my office twice. He is actually my oldest client, I signed him up back in July 93. Sadly, he is moving himself to Ohio at the end of this month and quitting the Moving biz. It’s truly sad to see him go.
The guys worked all day and hauled a few loads to the house and a couple to storage. They also packed as well. Pack and move is the way to go.
Emily started packing again when she got home from work. Me to. It’s all we do.
I should mention how difficult this move is. Going from 4000+ sf down to 1100sf is a pain. Also, we are having an estate sale after all the stuff we want is out of here. That’s a pain. First Emily and I have to agree, keep or sell. Then we have tell movers what is staying and what is going to new house and what to storage. So there is a mess of things all over the house staying there for sale. So, in a normal move, an empty room means done. But this time it’s impossible to tell what done is.
So we worked into the evening packing and hauling. Which, you note, I keep saying. Cuz that’s all I do.
At end of evening we went to the new house and slept as well as expected in a new place with all our stuff in boxes. Feels like camping.
One thing, this morning I had to drop off my car at the shop for routine maintenance. And to fix the TPMS system the tire shop broke. The estimate had been 500$. Well, when I checked it in I had an add on for a squeal in the front and the abc mgr said it was time for valve timing. Poorly timed. Now est is 1200$. And two days so I got a loaner car. It’s a 2017 Honda Fit. Best performing car in the world – a rental. It will climb walls if needed. Never buy a former rental. Went to work. Worked all day. Never guess where I went and what I did after work? That’s right, to the house for more pick and move. I love this shit. But it is Tuesday so I stopped a the carniceria for vittles. Hey, traditions don’t end. Went home and then to old house for moving.
Oh yeah, I did fill my old car with stuff before I dropped it at the shop. Sposed to be a one day service. And the stuff in the car was the essentials we had forgot. Damn it.
Back to Tuesday, I worked till midnight and went home. Unpacked the car and went to bed. Party time, all the time.
