argh!!
So i'm laying here in bed annoyed with my parents. It is now 1:16am and nevin and I are just done unloading the cars. And guess what!!! We are not done moving yet. Woo freakining hoo! If we had my parents' truck we could have had it all done in one more trip just ONE MORE TRIP. But noooooo they wanted to go home so we had to do it all by ourselves. I am really miffed that we have had to do this all by ourselves with no help from anyone. First we were promised boxes and the people who were supposed to get us boxes didn't. No we had NO BOXES to pack in. Which made packing a little difficult. So we had to go out and spend money that we don't have on like 20 huge plastic tubs. Now don't think we got all our stuff packed in to those. Oh hell no. We packed them full, then moved them and unpacked. Then packed them again and moved them and unpacked over and over again. Then my parents were supposed to come help. They show up all ass early in the morning and this is what they moved: 2 dressers, an exercise machine, and a couple boxes. Woopdy freakin doo! True we couldn't have moved those things because they couldn't have fit in our car, but come the hell on. They were already over here. One more JUST ONE MORE trip would not have killed them. But no. Their excuse was that we have all month to move so we didn't need them. Wow. How about actually getting shit done. How about getting all unpacked and settled before school starts. How about that.
So nevin and I went to target and picked up some more things we needed. And ate out yet again because we have not unpacked a lot of our and when I say our I mean nevin's cooking stuff. Technically it's my stuff too, but he is the one that does all the cooking. Anywho we packed some more and as we loaded our two cars found out that no matter how much we squeezed, and we friggin sqeezed, that we would have to come back for another load. This again was very very discouraging. This from the people who wanted to be done on sunday and here is it wednesday morning and we still have shit at our old apartment. Our cars were packed so tightly that I was driving with nevin's computer moniter on my lap because there was no other place for it to go. That made steering a litte interesting.
Our furniture came today. We now have our own sleeper sofa, and chaise. They are really great I love them. It feels like I actually have my own home now. Our old apartment was kinda junky with random things everywhere, plus we shared it with a room mate. But this is our own house and we have real furniture. It feels really good. So yeah like I said we just got in. i'm having a wee bit of trouble typing becuase of my thumb. Here's a fun way to end the day. Pack for hours with nothing to drink because you don't have any drinks at our old apartment or any glasses. WHich I thought was rather brain dead on our part to plan to go move for hours and not bring anything to drink. DUH! Well we got everything loaded into the cars at 11:55. We were sooooooo thirsty that we needed drinks now! So we drove to shoppers. Now shoppers closes at 12. We ran in past the security guard, grabbed drinks off the shelf, and hurtled down an emtpy aisle to the self checkout before they shut everything down. Right before I swiped my card they shut the lights off and were telling evrybody to get out. SO I swiped and we were off. WE got really lucky there. So then we get home and unloaded because we didn't want anybody to steal our stuff. Nevin did most of the unloading. I was inside finding places for things and trying to fix our bed. Somehow during the move our bed got messed up and hasn't been staying up. We have a king size air matress and it is just like a real bed. Ashley was laying on it and she had no idea it was an airmatress until we told her. ANywho I think it must have gotten a tiny pinhole in it or something. My mother was moving it so she might have snagged it on something or something could have rubbed it wrong getting here. Either way it is leaking air somehow. We haven't figured out where though. NEvin thinks it is leaking around the cap so i have been putting tape on it to try an get it to stop leaking air. But the past two nights we have woken up in the middle of the night with the bed half deflated. Which is highly uncomfortable to sleep on. I figured if it is the cap then the tape I am using is not strong enough. So I bought some super strength duct tape and I put that on the cap. We will see how that holds, if that is even the problem. LE sigh. Now to my thumb. I was putting the bikes away next to our front door We have like a little cement porch thing in front of our door. It's not really a porch, but for lack of a better word that is what I am calling it. It has a roof and a pole sticking out of the ground for support on one side. I spent ten minutes trying to figure out how the hell to chain two bikes to a pole with one chain. PLus I was having trouble because the chain isn't very loing so the bikes had to be really really close together and they didn't want to be. And the space was a little tight over by the pole. So as I was struggling with the bikes I went to reach down to grab the chain when I accidentally impaled my thumb on a piece of metal wire. The piece of wire went up under my finger nail more than half the length of my finger nail. THere is blood under my fingernail where the wire went. Thank goodness all my shots are up to date.
Man today was a frustrating day. It is now 2:00am and I am going to now try and get ready for bed and go to sleep. Night all.
End rant.
