PJO and I moved on Saturday to our new apartment. It was miserable. We thought everything was pretty much packed, but it wasn't. Our last move was cross-country, so literally everything was boxed up, packed up or sold. This time, we moved a mile away, so I guess in the back of our heads, we could always come back for stuff we left behind.
We rented a uhaul truck (14'), hired two guys to help us (PJO) move all our boxes and furniture, and about 8 hours later and two full uhaul trips, we had most of our stuff jammed in the new place. We were tired and sore, frustrated with how long everything took, and STILL had to go back to the old place for about 3 more car loads of stuff.
Everything appears to have made it, but there are frustrating things to deal with here. The air conditioning main vent in our hallway between the living room and bedrooms started leaking (condensation?) about an hour or two after we turned it on. They haven't fixed it yet, so we have buckets underneath. PJO hasn't slept well because it hasn't been cool enough and the loud dripping noises keep him awake and then the cats knock over the buckets. It will be fine soon though.
Everything should come together this week: Our TV and Internet are (officially) being set up tonight, and the giant rug should be here by tomorrow so we can set up our living room. My dresser and nightstand should be delivered by Thursday, so I will be able to put away some clothes.
We leave on Sunday for New Jersey/Hawaii, so we'll have to pack for that. And the MPRE is on Friday, so I'll have to start studying at some point soon. We also need to clean our old place and schedule a move-out inspection before we leave this weekend. We are super excited to be in our new place, but it will be nice when life is a bit more normal... :)
