moving..... I got a phone call last week from the secretary of the school where my office was telling I needed to move out. Admin didn't even have the courtesy to speak to me directly. There was no offer of a new location, just get your stuff out.
I went Monday trying to beat rain. I managed to load EVERYTHING in my office in my truck. It looked kind of like the pictures of people fleeing the Dust Bowl in the 30s, but I was able to get everything in one trip. Drove home hoping I could leave everything in the truck until morning. No such luck! Rain was on the way. I stuffed everything in my living room. I had to turn sideways to slip between things to move around.
Tuesday I had to drive to our team's office. Our lease is up there and we are about to relocate. I had to get some personal things plus I scored a wooden bookcase and some nice metal shelves to have at home. Then helped the boss sort through shyte in the office to throw out. We filled the back of my truck. Was headed home when the skies opened up and poured on me. Luckily I wasn't far from my Mom's so went and parked in her carport. Metal shelves went in the barn. Wooden bookcase got shoved into the living room. I crashed. Fell asleep sitting on the sofa.
Yesterday was spent moving some of my furniture to get stuff from the office where it belonged. Spent this morning sorting through things I brought home, getting rid of a bunch of stuff. Then shifted more furniture around. Still have a few more pieces of furniture to move. Then, hopefully, that will be the last of the donkey work.
When I get myself involved in this kind of project I have a friend who says "You know you're not 20 years old anymore." Today my body is reminding me we are not 20 anymore
