We're Here!!!
Hooray!!
Today i woke up at 9:25, right when the guys came to help us move. Unfortunatly we weren't able to go get the truck until 2:00. So we fooled around until then. The place was out at 3990 Prince of Whales Dr. in Ottawa. Took quite a bit to get out there, especially when there's construction at one point and there was a detour.
Went to get the truck right when the previous driver was dropping it off. Unfortunatly we went to go take a look at the truck last, after doing all the paperwork and paying for it. As soon as we opened the cube of the truck we were met with a huge blast of FISH. The guy who had the truck last must have carried a ton of fish, or meat, or something similar because it smelled vile. And what's worse is that it's been sitting in the heat for a while i'm sure. There was dried blood on the floor. Since we had limited time i wasn't able to mop it out, but i febreezed the shit out of the truck before we put stuff in it. Along with the smell, we recieved the truck with only 1/4 tank of gas, which is weird because i'm told i have to fill it before i take it back. It's being returned with the exact amount i recieved it.
Anyway we get everything packed up good, i think the only thing i forgot was my mirror but that's ok since Mom has a nice vintage one waiting for me here from my Grandpa. It filled up the truck pretty well too. The ride to PTBO was pretty awsome too. In the truck it was me, Matt and Tony who drove. We made a few pit stops along the way and during one of them we discovered that the truck was either from Arizona or Texas. ((Because of one way trips, the truck has been everywhere.))
Getting it all into Mom's basement seemed to be a breeze. Atleast for me it was. I didn't really move much along the entire trip. But we got it all in pretty fast, it was a bit disorganized but by that point i'm sure everyone's tempers were short and they were tired and just wanted to get it over and done with.
It's now midnight and Ikey and i have arranged the room a bit, despite it being full of everything we own. We have a seperate room where our bed is supposed to be but it's not renovated and there is a buttload of cobb webs, earwigs keep showing up, and directly across the room is our shower and toilett. So we decided to do it the way my brother had it, and keep the bed in the renovated room meant to be our living room. Since my Mom has someone who'll be coming in soon to renovate the other room anyway, our living situation will have to be as thus for a while.
Ikey and i seem to already be butting heads a bit on how we want the room organized, but after we've unpacked the boxes and the other room gets cleaned out we'll be able to work out some sort of compromize.
At the moment we've pretty much got most of it done for what we want to do tonight. Right now i'm washing out as much bed stuff as i can to get rid of the fishy smell, and i febreezed the pillows, mattress and couches. A lot of the stuff will have to wait for tomorrow to wash. :(
I'm so exaughsted and i'm ready to snap. I hope i get some decent sleep tomorrow or i'm going to get short with Ikey all over again.
