So earlier this year I left my old job and took on a new line of work with the original manager whom hired me at the old job about 8 years ago. Made some good connections through work and stumbled upon a hefty deal on a 3 bedroom duplex about 2 miles from work in a quiet area.
Driving a little over a hour each way every day was getting a little old & expensive, the upside was that traffic was worse in the opposite direction. The downside, constant construction, weather (ice/snow) accidents.
Got the keys Friday during work for the new place fully expecting to take the weekend to move… Saturday was a wash, we had high winds which caused a lot of power outages throughout the state and no way in hell was I pulling a trailer. Spent most of Saturday just packing what I could.
Sunday was the day. 6am drove a hour to get the work truck and bosses trailer & got home at 8am. Debated what the hell I was going to do with my aquariums
sadly I decided it was best to let them go. Had a 90 & 55 gallon tank for about 12 years. Made the call to my old coworker. Him and his buddy came right out and took everything. Began with hauling furniture down 3 floors (steps are terrible) managed to get one load to the new place around 7pm then was back to the place I’m moving from around 9. Slept on the floor.
Monday, took a day off work without pay carried out everything else & finished vacating the place by 8:30. Dropped off 2 pairs of massive vintage speakers to my dads place. Safes suck balls to carry down steps & I didn’t realize how much glass and pots/pans I had.
Got to the new place around 9:30pm, unloaded the trailer completely about 10pm. Ran to the local grocery/home store. Bought coffee, tortilla shells for my peanut butter honey breakfast wrap and shower curtain.
Had a peanut butter honey wrap for dinner when I got back from the store (I had no idea what bag or box food and supplies were in. Put my shower curtain up, found my clothing for the morning, set up my bed on the second floor and promptly crashed out around 11pm.
Got up at 6am for work, returned home afterwards and began the unpacking crates boxes and bags. I’m still lost on where everything is and am too exhausted to continue. No food in the fridge, a few cans in the cabinet. Currently surviving on beef jerkey.
Did everything on my own, 3 flights of steps picking the trailer driving and unloading. Upside now though is that I’ve got 1 neighbor, have a washer and dryer now, have a garage, got a basement, 2nd floor. Back porch and a back yard & im right down the road from work.
Tomorrow I’m hoping I can get groceries, but I still need to clear the kitchen countertops to cook. Probably gonna warm up a can of green beans then head to bed.
