we spent the weekend moving.
we spent the weekend moving.
friday night b recruited help from work to move the behemoth of a couch.
saturday we packed like the dickens and then ran errands - including renting an electric pump for emptying the water bed. i highly recommend this over siphoning. we got a couple more boxes moved over, mostly kitchen stuff, but nothing big.
sunday afternoon we moved lots of stuff. we got help from my brother and others; we managed to move the waterbed, our chest of drawers, the armoire, most of the clothes in each piece of furniture, most of the entertainment center, the computer system sans monitors, bookshelves, the entire contents of the bathroom, and other things im sure.
we also made sure to get necessities - bs uniform and gun, underwear, socks, the dogs food, our books, shampoo, shower curtain, bedding. all this so we could spend our first night in the new apartment.
the one major thing we forgot was the fan. with b so warm at night, he likes to sleep with a (or two) fan at night. for two years ive learned to sleep with a fan. now i cannot sleep without that blessed white noise.
the waterbed also takes a few days to completely warm up. so we pulled out the sofa-sleeper, put an air mattress on top of that, and slept there. its much smaller than the waterbed, and not nearly as comfortable. besides, i think we put too much air in the mattress.
i hardly slept a wink.
and the dog has let us know that she is more than ready to go back home whenever we are.
