Big Damn Heroes
That's what we were Saturday, when we arrived many hours late to help my friends in Alexandria move. We were the only people to show up, aside from friend's parents, and only the dad helped, and the dad had something like 6 surgeries in the last 3 months on his arms/hands. We Got Shit Done, but man, what a long freaking day. We arrived around 1:30, packed the truck, drove to the new place and unpacked the truck, and went back to the old place, picking up food along the way, around 5:30. After eating, we wound up staying around another several hours to load up the truck again, and we only covered the floor with stuff, no stacking. We bugged out after that, since we were both asininely tired, and my face was trying to run away from all the pollen, dust, dirt, and dander. Two cats, three ferrets, and a shitload of trees. Goddamn trees.
Thus, we are Big Damn Heroes, and never shall our loyalty, dedication, or forearms be doubted. (Still reigning Tetris Monarch/Packing Warrior)
The parents were so grateful we were there, they offered to come help us pack up to move. They live in West Virginia.
Yesterday we deemed a recuperation day, but wound up going out for a craigslist ad. (Sell furniture on craigslist, get money; use money to buy other furniture, being sold on craigslist) Now we've got one of the small expedits we needed, plus a filing cabinet, plus a desk attachment. Good deal. I'll continue the hunt for more small expedits, as we slowly evict old furniture in favor of stuff that a) matches, and b) collapses. Gotta get our Ikea goods now, before we enter the land of no flat-packed Swedish furniture.
Somehow we exerted ourselves more Sunday than Saturday, and are both super sore and super tired today. I want to go home, find a $50,000 winning lottery ticket, and take a nap.
Next weekend we're flying out to look at houses. Hows about you all do your magic mojo, cross those appendages, and convince the universe to get us hired while we're there.
