Footprints on the Moon

I finally got some keys for my new apartment. Yesterday they cleaned the carpets, and were cleaning up the kitchen when I got home from work. I found a note leaning against my door with a mailbox key, and a temporary key for the new apartment. Once I get moved, they’re going to move the lock from my apartment upstairs. Also in the note, it said that they were planning on cleaning the carpets, and I could start moving the big stuff in on Wednesday the 13th. Ha, I don’t move on one day’s notice. I already had plans for tonight, that were set in place about 3 weeks ago, so no, won’t be changing those. And moving on a weeknight after work?? Not my idea of a good time. This lets dad off the hook for moving me as he’s leaving the state on Friday after work and has to spend Thursday night packing up and getting ready to leave.

Which leaves me looking for some muscle to help with the furniture. I can move a lot of stuff by myself. My nightstands, the tv stand, the Papasan chair… all those I can move by myself. But there are plenty of things I can’t move alone– the loveseat, couch, computer desk, bookshelf, bed and dresser. And the couch? That I can’t even help with. It’s so heavy there is no way I could even pretend to hold up one end of it. My friend Amy’s son said he was willing to get a buddy and come help me move furniture on Saturday. It makes me feel uncomfortable to have them do it because I’ve only met him twice, and have never met his friend, but I’m not seeing where I have another option. I’ll probably run out and get them each a $10 gift card to Subway or something for helping me out.

So it looks like that’s what the rest of my week is going to look like. Tonight Sarah and I are getting dinner and watching last night’s Biggest Loser finale. Tomorrow, Friday night, and Saturday morning, I’ll be moving the little things that I can do on my own, and then Saturday afternoon help will come to move the furniture. Sitting where I am right now, I just keep thinking Why did I want to move again? Maybe I just should have stayed where I am… but I know that once I’m down there, I’ll be happy I made the move. Just need to get through the next several days first.
