I should be into the 2nd 30 day challenge. Instead, I'm in the throws of moving still. Boy, does it take a long time! But, I see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel as I completely finished closing out the old house today and turned in the keys. That is a big relief.
Moving totally stresses me out but I managed to stay out of the hospital (barely) since my over 200 lb boyfriend fell on me trying to take a stupid transponder off the satellite dish on the old house yesterday (as they told me it was $150 if I didn't return the transponder, of which I really had no clue what it was). So my gracious boyfriend climbed a ladder and attempted to be 30 years younger than he really is and take down this so-called transponder. It didn't start well the day before when they told me I needed to send it in and I asked them what a transponder was. Honestly, the lady acted like I asked what water was and that EVERYONE should know exactly what a transponder is...I, however, had no idea. They told me (kind of rudely) that this so-called transponder could be removed with a standard Phillips screwdriver (they lied). When he was coming down off the ladder in freezing temperatures, he slipped and fell right on top of me from about 6 feet up. If I was a mathematician, I could figure the actual impact given his weight and distance falling, but like knowing what a transponder is, this is beyond my brain capacity. So, this move almost ended up in a hospital visit, but we both survived with just some soreness and bruising. After I called the satellite company in tears, they agreed to come and remove it at no charge.
My previous landlord (boy, that sounds wonderful) did a walk through in my old house today and I turned over the keys. He said the house looked wonderful and was extremely pleased with condition and thanked me for being such a wonderful tenant. You have no idea how much I needed those words of affirmation after the last couple weeks.
Did I mention how stressful moving is....I bet I did. However, I have no words to express the stress it puts me under. Enough that I didn't even write in this blog. I felt I was prepared and started early enough but in the end I didn't feel prepared enough.
My new garage looks like I am a hoarder and we are having super cold temps right now so I really want to park in it but I can't. It is almost too cold to go out there and even bring all the boxes in. Wind chills of -15 tomorrow morning. Brrrr...
On the bright side, I am in love with my new home. I cannot wait to get it all put together and decorated and begin some customizations for my needs and taste. And don't get me started on how excited I am for spring to come so I can find out what blooms and get some of my own plants in the ground. Did I mention it is -15 wind chill tomorrow morning? Spring seems really far off.
