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 taken their lock off the door, so we couldn't get in. On Sunday there is no one in the office, so I called a different number and reached a customer service rep. She promised to try to arrange someone to come over and help me out, and about 20 minutes later I recognized a guy who worked in the office. It turned out he was there for a different reason, but he was able to take the lock off my unit, and we eventually got everything moved in.
I decided to go ahead and move the mattress and springs today since I might not have my truck long, and they are too large to move in Don's van or whatever I might buy. I have an air mattress I used in Asheville when my furniture was taken away, and I figured it would work just as well this time. I have a different vacuum cleaner now, and the hose on this one doesn't blow air out, it just sucks it in. So I have doubled over a comforter thinking I can sleep on it tonight, but am beginning to wonder about doing that - I surely won't get a good night's sleep, and I have to be at Enterprise tomorrow at 9:30 am.
One of my sons called me and gave me a lot of good reasons why I shouldn't rush into buying anything tomorrow. He thought (and rightly so) that I didn't wait long enough between selling the 5ver and buying the truck camper, and doesn't want to see me make another mistake. So I'm torn now, and I know in the end I will do what I want to do, but it adds to the confusion and stress, and I'm not even going to be able to get a good night's sleep.
Even with all the things we moved today, I still have an overwhelming amount of items to pack and move, and the truck to clean out. Then I will begin trying to clean this place so I can turn in the keys. I'll be getting dog hair out of the carpet for a week!
- I Should Sleep Well Tonight
I am surrounded by boxes that need emptying and a couple of items of furniture that need to be rearranged, but I'm happy to have my comfy bed set up. It is a queen size bed, and takes up a lot of the room. I'll be happy with the bed, a chest of...
- The Road Is Calling Me
I will leave for about a week in NC tomorrow morning, and I'm not sure how I can sleep tonight. I get so anxious before a trip although this hasn't been too bad, maybe because it is such a short trip. I have the car about half packed, with the...

I didn't get much done at the apartment today, but enough so that I can see some headway. I spent most of the day at Jeannie's, and thought I'd have to sleep there tonight because I couldn't find my keys when it was time to leave. Everyone...
- Reminders
I received several reminders today - the first being about my appointment with the eye surgeon at 8:20 a.m. on Thursday. What in the world time will I have to get up in order to be there on time! It's about a 30 minute trip in traffic, but because...
- Mini Excursion
I set out this morning to find a hairdresser, but two shops that I walked into told me it would be a wait, so I decided to wait for another day, except I more closely resemble a sheep dog every day. Then it was to Big Lots where they didn't have anything...
