Things are going to start happening to me now.
In light of the truck being on the friz, we haven't been able to get to storage to take the last pieces of furniture and boxes over there. It was actually nice for awhile because it pulled me off packing duty and freed up that time for apartment cleaning. Now the apartment is about as clean as I can get it until we leave and the truck is still not working right.
Last night we went to the grocery store and picked up batteries for the smoke detector. The thing hasn't had a battery for as long as I can remember. In fact, I'm not sure it ever had a battery since I've lived there. Anyhoo, we get home and I plunk the new battery in and the thing starts beeping and beeping and beeping and the cats are cringing, so I pull the battery out and say, "Obviously this thing is broken."
I give my aunt a call and let her know that they will need to get a new one. We speak about things going on and then she asks (as a double check) if they can paint the apartment when we are up in Portland. I had told them before that the majority of our stuff will be in storage by then, but that was before the truck broke. I relayed the information to her that there is still furniture in the apartment, she said that is okay, she isn't worried about the furniture. Thankfully!
A short while later, mom gives me a call. I hardly get to talk to her anymore since she started her job. She works the graveyard shift and her days off vary every week. It sucks though because even more rarely do I get to see her, and soon I won't have the ability to just drive 5 minutes down the highway and visit. I tell her about the few things I still want to get into storage and the truck situation. She offered up her car. She sleeps during the day anyhow, so it is of no loss to her if I borrow it in the afternoons and then bring it back later in the evening. I'm so stoked!
So tonight since the Star Wars game is not going to happen, I'll drive on over there, pick up her car and then run stuff over to storage. I'm so relieved. I'll be able to put most of the stuff in storage today and then I'll feel better when my aunt and uncle come over to paint. I don't want it to be an inconvience to them to have to move stuff. I think all that will be left is the cat tower, tv/tv stand, computer desk, couch, coffee table, and bookcase. intrepid_glory is gonna take the bookcase, couch and tv stand, I'm just not sure when.
Lisha, do you think you guys could take the bookcase sometime in the next week? If you could that would be awesome. That way when Mike and Sue come over to paint it would be that much easier. If not that is okay too, I'm sure they can pull it off the wall for a spell.
Anyhoo, that is what I have to look forward to tonight. Ohhhhh! I redid my resume last night and Jamers said it was gold, whatever that means. I checked Jobdango and found one job that I was excited about. After much reworking of my cover letter, I went ahead and emailed off my application for that job. I'll check again tonight and see if anything new and eye catching has landed on jobdango.
I hope you all have a great day.
