The Move Pat VI: The Penultimate Day

The goal was July 1.  We made it baby, we made it.

Wow.  Just wow.  When we first started to get everything all packed up to move it seemed as if this day would never come.  We've been working ourselves hard these last few weeks and now, it's almost all worth it.

We got just about everything into storage.  We had a lot of help, including 3 studly men, two bodacious babes and a toddler.  The toddler's assistance was mostly to scream DADDA at the top of his lungs but, he's cute and cute babies are allowed.  There are a few things that didn't fit onto the U-Haul.  So we three get to take care of those tomorrow.

But we got the entire upstairs and the stairs itself clean and ready for move out!  We got up about 6 and were working by 7.  At 19:54 I had finished the last of the stairs.  And all that is left is the downstairs.  That is, however, for tomorrow.

And what a day it will be.  We have the cats to round up and stick somewhere.  We have a trip to the dump to make, then we have the few extra things the men couldn't get onto the U-Haul onto the truck, and then we need to take that over to the storage facility and get it all in and then we finish cleaning whatever needs to be cleaned next.

And then we're going to spend the afternoon and part of the following day with some friends where we're going to relax.

And then, Monday at 1500 we're going to pick up our keys and move in.  It's going to be a wild ride because no sooner will we have moved in half of our crap- er- stuff that we have load for faire.

Did I also happen to mention that it's going to be really hot the next few days while we move into the new house?  Oh yeah, really hot- anywhere from 108-111 (50C).  I think we're going to melt.

But for now, the AC is on, it's 21:15 and I am one tired girl.  We're camping out in the house tonight because we have scattered and frightened cats.

Good night!
