It's Done - All Moved

Tweet

It's been a very hectic week. As such my diet has been junk food , but that is over now. The move is done. I have everything done and the house inspection was this morning instead of yesterday. You never know the friends you have until one steps up and goes above and beyond. It was suggested that I get some help from a homeless shelter to help with the move. Someone is always looking for work and I was offering payment. No one was available. I wanted to get help from a moving company, but my son negated that, so I canceled the order I made. It was very expensive anyway. However, my friend with the truck promised me two hours and gave me all of yesterday and this morning. I called the woman who was going to do the house inspection to find out how late she could do it yesterday, and she said she could do it this morning, first thing. When it looked like even that would be impossible, my son suggested I call and see if we could have it this afternoon. So I left a message shortly after midnight when we called a halt to the move. We only had the basic clean-up left and a few boxes left to move. I got a call from her shortly after 6 this morning that the locksmith would be there to change locks at 9:30 and that was the latest she could give me - just one hour. So I called my friend who was to pick me up this morning since my son had the car, and we got over to the house and got the last of the clean-up done. We had three hours, but it turned out to be four before everything was completely out of the house and it was in 'broom-swept' condition. She showed up right on time, but the locksmith hadn't arrived yet when we finally pulled out of the driveway at 10:30. I did have other help through the past three days, friends of my son's who came to help get things taken care of. There was so much more than I expected and it took a lot longer than I expected, but the good news - It's Done. Now I have a full apartment of boxes that need to be unpacked as soon as possible. It's also possible that I'll still be downsizing even from what I've already done. My friend stuck with me from early yesterday through this afternoon when we finally had all the move complete and all the garbage taken care of. She is a friend who went above and beyond anything I expected. Currently, my son has my car. His plans for today were to get out to the college and see about getting signed up for classes. It's the last day he could do so as classes start tomorrow. He also has work tonight. I hope he got some sleep as he has helped get this move done on almost no sleep. I also got more sleep today after I got back to the apartment with everything done. It's been an exhausting week with little sleep, no pool and only junk food. Tomorrow I will be back on track with my diet, but the pool will wait until Friday as I have an early morning appointment. Now we can both take a step back, take a deep breath and know it's all done. I can also take my time to get the boxes unpacked, though I will be working on it daily. So that's my good news. I hope your news is good as well. Thanks for reading.
