I have the bar stool and a camp chair to sit on, and my air mattress to sleep and nap on, but I should have everything else cleared out soon. Tomorrow I will be at Jeannie's house for a big part of the day, but Monday it will be time to get serious. Jeannie & Donald came by this afternoon and took a lot of boxes and smaller items to the storage for me. What I'm really having a problem with is clothing. I can't make up my mind what and how many of different things I should take with me. I know I've packed too many pairs of jeans, but I don't like to do laundry more often than every two weeks, and sometimes I can stretch it a bit longer. That means I need lots of everything.
I solved one problem and ordered a tonneau cover this afternoon. It is one of the more inexpensive ones, but since I hope to sell the truck in NY I don't want to invest a lot into anything else for it. At least I will be able to carry most everything in the truck bed. The cover won't stop a determined thief, but I hope I won't have any determined thieves around - I just want to deter anyone with quick grabby hands!
Donald looked at the various covers online, and the one I selected seems to be easy enough to install. He showed me a picture of a woman doing it. Hahaha. I guess I could have in my younger days, but I simply don't want to do anything like that any more. I feel a lot better about the upcoming trip now, as I was getting a bit downhearted just thinking about how I could carry everything, make enough room for Lady, and not be robbed blind.
- Ceiling Finished - I Hope!
I got the rest of the walls primered and started on the ceiling paint. I am really being optimistic, and at the same time lowering my usually high standards, but I think there is a chance I can get by with one coat of ceiling paint. I really won't...
- The Down Side
I thought today was going fairly well - Donald and Jeannie helped me move my furniture and the boxes I had packed into my truck and over the few blocks to the storage unit. When we got the first load upstairs to the unit, we found that the manager hadn't...
- Boxes Everywhere!
It is getting so that I can't walk a straight line from room to room in this small apartment, nor can I make my way easily from the front door to the end of the patio. I know this will all be resolved soon, but it would drive me crazy if I wasn't...
- Gotta Get A Move On
I still don't feel right but realize I'm going to just have to deal with it and start getting ready to move. My s-i-l picked me up this morning and we looked at two local places that have climate controlled storage. The one I think I'm going...
- Another Day Away From Home
I owe Lady big time for leaving her for the second all-day time in a row. Donald borrowed my truck early so that he could help his mom move some of her stuff to her new house, so I drove it over there and went with the girls (Jeannie and her 3 daughters)...
