The Move

I made it through the move.  I am so sore I can barely move and I haven't unpacked anything but at least I am all in. 

He decided not to come home on Friday night so I had to ask my friend Jeanette to come pick me up and drop me at the uhaul place in the morning. 

Of the four guys that were going to help me on Saturday only the one guy and his son showed up.  He is one of our maintenance guys and was on call this weekend so I knew there was a chance he would get pulled away.

we got the uhaul loaded and were just about to leave for the apartment when he got an emergency call for a property that was 30 minutes away.  Crap!  So he said he had to go but he would be back.  After he left I called my friend Kristi.  I just wanted someone to talk to and was trying not to have a meltdown.  She showed up in flip flops and all three kids in tow..the youngest is one...and says. Let's go...we are doing this.  I said, What do you mean?  She laughed and said do you have any idea how many times I've had to move myself?

We got to the apartment and one of the kids would watch the baby while the other was helping us unload the uhaul.  She called the guy that I was going to be roommates with that could not get his other roommate out in time...and said..Trish and I are doing this by ourselves...get your ass over here and help us. ...and he did!  She is such an amazing friend...and she makes me laugh the way she just takes charge of things. 

We got the uhaul back with 20 minutes to spare and then the other guys came back and helped put the bed and table back together that had to be taken apart to move.  After all the big stuff was moved then I went back and got the animals and brought them over...it was about 4 pm when I finally got to let the cats out of their carriers..and they immediately went under the bed but came out around 10pm and started checking it out.  Much shorter time frame than last time i moved.  They are settling in well.

Sunday I went back and got the last couple of loads by myself so I am done except for a couple of plants that are still in the backyard.  Now I can take my time and get things in order.  It was already a relief not to be worried about being in trouble for not doing things on someone else's timeframe.  Now I get to take some time and figure out what to do next. 

I started to have a little anxiety attack on Saturday night but it passed and have not had any since then.  I have little feelings of panic when I think about the money situation..I think that will pass as I figure out how much room I have to work with..or not.
