Today was Moving Day

I had, by way of a monetary gift, enough money to be able to rent a 10-foot truck and hire two guys to move all the heavy boxes for me. I found Jim and Chuck Breter (brothers) on U-Haul's affiliate site, MovingHelp.com. They were very professional, knew how to pack well, got the truck loaded and unloaded in 2 hours, drove the truck and even gassed it up for me. All this after a thick blanket of snow. It was worth every dime for the peace of mind it gave me. At my age I couldn't have done it all myself. I'd recommend them to anyone. That's saying something considering I'm a veteran of over 100 moves.

Because I didn't have to do all the lifting, I had enough energy to take Casper to the veterinarian to have his stitches out; and clean the stove, kitchen cupboards, and fridge components. All I have left to do to clean the apartment is vacuum the carpets, mop the floors and clean the bathroom fixtures. I can get those done tomorrow, a day early.

There are a few things more to take over to the storage unit tomorrow and my friends Delly and Jason have offered to help me. I'll be seeing them again on Sunday evening as they have invited me over for dinner. I'll  leave Casper in the apartment and then pick him up to spend Sunday night in the van. 

I think I know a way to keep us semi-warm. I'll tell you how in a future post.
