We moved this weekend. Yep, just the two of us did it all. Rented a UHaul on Friday and went to Ikea and bought some stuff: BR for W, SR for me, couple of chairs. We finished around 8, checked out, waited around for a long time for them to pull a couple of items out of their storeroom. THEN found out that W's boxsprings were stored on the store floor and couldn't be accessed until the store closed and emptied at 9:30 and counting. Finally loaded it on the truck around 10. Drove home, switched cars and went to a sorta dinner.
Next day, interesting. Ashly furniture was to deliver between 9:30 & 1:30. They called at 9 and said about 45 minutes out. SO, I dashed out, left W to pack & load, and went to the appt, only to find no one in rental office until 10 and I had no key. Ashley showed up before they did, we had one piece in front of our front door already when I got the key. The key fobs don't work and neither do the washer/dryer (not sure they're wired or plugged in?). Back to the house to finish with W around 11:30. Whew! Lot of stressful sitting around all hyped up on Starbucks. We got most of the truck unloaded, left W's dresser and some SR stuff for Sunday. And got most of it unpacked and put away on Sunday. Oh, and we have no blinds, so we're open to the world. Lovely. Never had any dinner on Saturday, just too tired to eat. I'm too old to do this by myself anymore. Geez!
Key fobs should be operational, now. We'll try when we go home. Found out how to access the internet - yeah!- we'll see about W/D. They were supposed to call me back, but hasn't happened. W's going to Maryland for the rest of the week, back on Thurs. night and Cort will pick up their stuff on Friday. Meet w/ Susan on Saturday for deposit refund.
Note to self: Cancel Utilities!!!! Then we'll be done with the old place. Oh, and I need to put a sticky note on the mail flap for the mail man. He's not so good with the whole forwarding thing.
My BR looks like crap, little bland furniture. Hard bed. Whatever. I need to go to Target and Hancock and back to Ikea - need a kingsize red sheet and pillow case. What to do about curtains?
