What has two thumbs and would rather lie on the floor of an empty living room complaining about moving than to actually get to moving?
Me. J Shine, that's who. Wahhh. I don't wanna!!
Ugh. Okay, so I've been back and forth to the storage unit loading and unloading boxes and filling my brand new apartment with them. I've been doing it. But oh how I hate it! I'd rather lie on my couchless floor and stare at the ceiling, mad that I have to do it in the first place. Can't I just hire people to move for me?
Oh yeah, I looked around. The cheapest I found for hired help is $420. Yikes! Patrick keeps telling me that he'd help me, but he lives 3 hours away. I think it's pathetic of me to have my boyfriend drive 3 hours to come help me move and then have to drive 3 hours back home so he can get back to work.
But he would be free help. Hmmm. Might have to rethink this.
I've been searching Craigslist for a couch set. I found a really pretty cream colored leather set- couch and loveseat. For $275. And guess what! They live two buildings away from me! The only thing I needed was for a lovely apartment neighbor who drives a truck to drive it from one building to mine and then help me carry it up the stairs!
So I spotted some people moving in, using a U-Haul truck. I offered them $25 if they could just drive the couches from the one building to mine and help me move them. The guy said, "Sure!" and said he'd be back in a few. I told him I'd be back because I wanted to get some money out to pay for the couches and for his labor.
I drove just across the street to the ATM, got money out and drove back. 3 minutes tops. He and his U-Haul were gone. They were nowhere to be found! I couldn't believe it!
So being out of a truck, I had no way to get the couches to my place. I couldn't expect the seller to carry it with me down the sidewalk-- it was too far a walk and it's cold out.
What a jerk. I should've put on some makeup and something cute.
Anyway, so now I'm just spending my days moving stuff into my apartment and searching for a couch set that a seller would deliver to me! Please please please keep me in your prayers!
Following you MBC! I hate moving also! I recently moved and I was tempted to do the same! I couldn't imagine having to do it alone. I'm praying for you!
