Jan. 24th, 2011 11:01 amMoving is nearing completion.
Yesterday we rented a uhaul truck to get all our furniture across town. The guy at the rental place was surprisingly nice and helpful. He pointed out that we made a mistake on the reservation and saved us $50.
Rob and Dani came over to help us move. They actually knew what they were doing so they were a huge help! They figured out how to get ALL our furniture in the truck so we only had to make one trip. It was very impressive. And they had bungie cords of all sizes so nothing bounced around either!
I wasn't much help lifting stuff, but I was handy at opening doors! And once the truck was all packed up, I ran out and got everyone lunch. I came back just as they were bringing the last piece of the furniture into the house. It was good timing because everyone was starving.
Then ben and rob dropped off the uhaul truck and dani and I went back to the apartment. The uhaul place was nice again and didn't charge us extra for not re-filling the tank. We only used 1/16th of the gas, so I guess they figured it would be silly to charge us. But a regular car rental place would have definitely charged us.
Once everyone was back at the apartment, we had tasty king cake! Dani had made it! It had apple pie filling in it, so it was like a super sweet apple pie. I warmed mine up to make it extra delicious.
We were going to take rob and dani to a brazillian bbq place to thank them, but they headed home early. Probably they were as exhausted as we were. So much heavy lifting! We'll just have to take them another day when they are well rested. We want to take them someplace good because with their help, we saved at least $400. All the moving places around here wanted to charge us between $500 and $600. Can you believe that? For a one bedroom apartment!
After they left, we went to bed super early. We used an air mattress since our bed is at the house. Unfortunately it was super uncomfortable. It partially deflated and any time one of us moved, the whole thing shook. And I kept rolling UNDER ben. Not fun. So around 3am, we got up and I cried from exhaustion a bit. Then I pulled all the blankets on the floor and slept there. I slept much better.
I woke up with super intense back pain. Probably from the air mattress and the floor -- not lifting stuff. It was so bad, I had to take half of a super strong pain killer. That stuff makes me loopy, so I took the day off from work. Probably for the best. I need to do more packing anyway.
I think tonight we will sleep in our house. In our bed. And not die from back pain.
