Still Settling In - Until We Move Again
I loaded and unloaded a king bed frame, a two seat sofa, a TV stand, and a bunch of miscellany, so I'm pretty wiped. But after I rest, I'm going to get the bed frame put back together so I'm not sleeping on a mattress on the floor anymore. Once, I was debating whether it was worth bringing the frame down into the basement only to take it back out again once I'm working, but setting it up will help me feel a bit more like I'm settled in to a home.
Putting the rest of the sofa together and attaching it to the chaise, then raising the TV up on the stand will make it so I can sit next to Miriam and write or play games, and will give me an at least sort of comfortable space to invite people over for yuri and snuggles.
I got my plastic rolling drawers full of electronic and stuff too, along with two of my toolboxes: the one full of typical hand tools, and the one full or random fasteners and other things. I ended up not finding that last remaining box with two more monitors in it. All the furniture came out of one U-Box, and I decided I wasn't up to unloading the whole other U-Box looking for that, or our winter coats. The coats were in the very first box I packed ("won't be needing those for a while!") so they are probably all the way in the back and at the bottom.
So as well as not being able to get a cargo van, When I got there, I saw two U-Boxes outside and thought they were ours. One was turned so that the door couldn't open, so Miriam and I went around front to ask someone to move the boxes.
It turned out those were not ours, but they got someone to bring ours out pretty quickly. They brought out two boxes, but one of them was the wrong one. So, last time we were there, we took enough stuff that we repacked our 3 boxes into 2. They brought out 2, but one of them was the box we left empty last time.
So I had some moments of fear about what happened to the other box, but it was still there, and in fact, our record hadn't been updated to show that we were no longer renting that third box.
So hopefully that's all been fixed now!
I would really, really like to find enough income to be in our own space again, unpack all of our stuff, and feel stable. Some day, right?
