Well, I'm moved. Everything here except for vacuum and steam cleaner which is at old place for cleaning person to use tomorrow or Monday. Oh my goodness you should have seen what was under my bed! I could never move it as it is a large bed.....and when the movers did I wanted to die of embarrassment although I'm sure they've seen worse. Two guys did a great job. I used Two Men and a Truck. Used them 10-12 years ago to not too good then but today's guys were great. Plus between me and my dad watching their every move I think they paid attention. I mean, I deal with moving claims for a living so knew what to tell them, what to do, etc.
So I'm officially moved. I even took a nap this afternoon. Crazy. I slept two hours like a baby. It was much needed as the stress of this week caught up with me. Tomorrow I must get a lock for storage unit, and meet with cleaning lady and oh, get some more steam cleaner fluid/soap stuff. I hope that I am able to get most of my deposit back from my place I moved but I doubt it. Today I caught a box on fire when I put it on the stove and it hit the on knob. Crazy.
I plan to work until I can't tonight then sleep in, get up and meet with lady, then who knows? I was going to do something later tomorrow but I think those plans changed so if so, I'll just hang out at my new place.
Realized when I was thinking about the dollar store and I'm like; I could run up and get that...only its 30 blocks from here. I'm going to have to go exploring my new neighborhood to REALLY see what is here.
One cat is hiding inside the bottom kitchen cabinets! She's too scared to come out. Very funny.
I have like 5 boxes of pancakes...not full boxes...all these half boxes....it was funny to unpack them. My friend who helped me pack probably thought I was nutso. We don't even eat pancakes all that often! I must just not remember if I do or don't have a box while shopping without a list (I don't recommend) and then pick up a box. Cheap dinner. Add some scrambled eggs and we have happy campers here.
I hung some pictures in my kitchen. They were the first birthday gift I got when I moved out. Special to me. They hang over my sink so I will see them every single day. I like that a lot! So will the kids.
Can't wait until the kiddos get to come here. I am so anxious to wrap them in my arms and introduce them to their new home. I am hoping they don't think it's dinky and the carpet (which is brown) is hideous. I am thinking it will hide a world of dirty kids! And I have a steam cleaner!
I just realized that I'm happy. Really, really happy. The last place I had to find, had to be close to school, etc. Never once felt at home there. This place has potential. I might even buy houseplants. (although I tend NOT to do good at house plants). I am watching the most beautiful sunset over to the west of here. It is spectacular and I have a great view (and also a great view of how dirty my sliding doors are!).
A little concerned as the safety chain is up high and little one can't reach it. Might have to have my dad or maintenance do their thing. I need to find my light bulbs for my lamp...this place needs light in the living room. There are no overhead lights in the whole living room.
Just happy. So happy. Happy that I made it here, got everything packed up (for the most part), happy that I had JUST ENOUGH money to move here. 10 days until payday. Lord, make my dollars stretch. Please let me have just what I need to make it, buy groceries for next weekend with the kids, etc. Lord stretch my dollars please!
Oh the $451.00 was the mover's fee! That's not quite $10/item/box. They did a good job and I was pleased. It would be awesome and I had twelve friends with big trucks but I don't. I also have a very busy family so I was just thankful dad took this morning to help me. Then he took me to lunch and we talked about God. It was nice. I think the lunch was my favorite part of the day. I love my parents both very much. My dad understands and listens. My mom just KNOWS me like I know mine!
Until next time...which might be later tonight, never know!
