So today has been pretty long and busy. First, Cabela came with me to work and sat in the car until lunchtime when she went to be groomed at PetSmart. Then, the rest of the workday (which was particularly hectic today). After work, I ran to pick up Cabela and then headed home instead of going to the farm to pick up my stuff there since it was raining so that will postpone that until later this week. Also, Jeremy is worse than he was yesterday and he even left work early which is a sure sign he feels pretty bad. So, I went straight home from getting Cabela and then talked Jeremy into going to the walk in clinic down the street that is open until 7:00 PM. They were able to see him tonight and we didn’t have to wait too long but it definitely set us back on our schedule because we have lots of things to get done tonight, most of which have to be done before the movers start packing. I’m glad we took time to go to the clinic though, since he does have a sinus infection and I’m pretty sure he would have felt much worse by morning when the movers are scheduled to show up. After dropping off his prescription I headed to my parents to pick up the Sequoia to get furniture from the Huneycutt’s house. I also asked Lisa to help me move the stuff since Jeremy felt more like going to bed than dragging stuff out of an attic – Lisa graciously agreed and so I left him at my parents watching ESPN while Lisa and I headed out to move the last of the furniture. In between loads, I dropped by Walgreens to pick up the prescription since it was looking like they would be closed before we got done and I didn’t want to risk not getting the antibiotics started tonight. It didn’t end up being too hard moving the stuff but we did have to take two trips so that took more time. When we were done, we loaded a carload of stuff to take to my parents house including all of our photo albums, the contents of the fridge and freezer, and a 6 foot bookshelf we’re giving to Lisa that needed to go to my parents lest it get put on the moving truck.
So, we were back at my parents around 9:30 and unloaded everything there and Lisa volunteered to help me get everything done back at the house as well. First off, I had to make something to eat since I was starving. I had reserved some lobster tail I bought to cook tonight since we had to empty the freezer so Lisa and I had a nice little lobster feast about halfway through the work we had to do. First, we unloaded the attic. Then, we started gathering things that needed to be taken to my parents’ house; including more photos, the violin and guitar, food and crates for the animals, an air mattress and sheets for the first few days in the new house, computers and cameras, keepsake items, important paperwork, and Jeremy’s artwork. Then, I packed my clothes for a week and finally, we started cleaning dishes and getting rid of trash to prepare things for the movers. We ended up throwing away quite a bit of stuff that was in the fridge and freezer, so there was a lot of trash and I’ve been more than warned that the movers will pack your trash if you aren’t careful. I also went over my list of things to pack and things to get done and it looks like we are back on track. I’ll still have to unplug the fridge and put coffee beans in the fridge and freezers but other than that, I think I’m done for the night.
Tomorrow, we have to drain the lawnmower and load the cars up early in the morning then, I have to run and get donuts for the movers. I will also be moving the pets to my parents’ on my way to work to keep them out of the movers’ and Jeremy’s hair during the packing. Jeremy has to take out the antique light fixture in the guest bedroom, and then manage the movers all day long so hopefully he feels somewhat better by morning. In other words, all in all this was a good day’s work but things will get busy when the sun rises in the morning. Or maybe before that.
