Weekend recap

I love a good three day weekend. Even if I was too busy to relax during most of it.

Saturday was my move! And I was so anxious on Friday night about getting everything done. But I would say I was 97% done when it was time to go on Saturday morning. But first I had to meet up with E and our running group for a 7 mile run. What was I thinking?

Anyone need a few boxes?

I thought I had given a good deal of my clothes away last year. A trunk full of clothes, two rollers and a carry on suggest otherwise.

Anyway, I got home from the run at 9am and had to pick up my Uhaul at 10am. So I quick took out the trash and then loaded all of the small stuff into the trunk of my car. With just enough time to squeeze in a quick shower (I was dripping wet after the run, it was so hot), I was off to pick up the truck.

Ready to go.

I got there right on time...but my truck wasn't back from the previous rental! The dude was supposed to return the truck at 9:30 and he showed up at 10:45! I was not happy. Especially having to stand for 45 minutes. My legs were so tired from the run already and I still had a lot of work to do. But, bc they didn't have my rental ready I will get $50 back. So that's pretty cool. Unfortunately, this whole time my friends were waiting back at my place to help me move. And they couldn't even get inside bc I had the keys, so they had to sit outside in the heat.

I finally get back and we load up the truck. Thankfully it doesn't take to long and my friends are much better at tetris than I am. Now it's time to move it all over to the new place and luckily A's husband volunteered to drive the truck over. It wasn't the driving that worried me so much as the backing in to the loading dock.

We are just starting to unload the truck when some random guys comes over and says he "reserved" the loading dock from 10:30-12:30 and he's paying his movers by the hour and could he please go first. One - nobody told me I had to reserve the loading dock. And two - it's 12:20. You're late. Someone had the brilliant idea to unload everything onto the loading dock and then move the truck so they could get in. We unloaded the truck in 4  minutes!

We ended up getting all of my things upstairs, had breakfast and got my bed put together before they were done unloading their truck. They had a lot of stuff. And it looked really expensive. No idea how they fit it all into a one bedroom, but I guess that's their problem.

After I took the truck back, I went to my old place one last time and then turned in the keys. Of course, I later realized I think I left my pyrex cookware under the stove but I'm going to email them and hopefully get it back.

Being up for 12 hours already at this point when I got back to my place, I tried to take a nap but I could not fall asleep. So annoying. So I unpacked some, watched some tv and went to bed early (for me). I honestly don't remember much what I did on Sunday. There was more unpacking, a target run and more tv. Before I had to get up way early on Monday to volunteer at a local road race. But more on that tomorrow with a full race recap.

Seeing as how it was a holiday weekend in the summer, I felt a cheeseburger was in order.
