raganiToday went fairly well, all things considered. Work was productive without feeling overwhelming. I felt competent and capable, if mildly distracted. My boss was out for most of the day, so I had the room that is our office to myself for much of the day. I got both work and personal items on my to-do list completed, including some that were nagging me for months. One of them in time to apply for some money that was due to me, but I would have lost had I not filed the paperwork before the end of this month. Yay me! I even left work a few minutes early so as not to get stuck sitting in traffic at night like I did on Monday.
I went over to O's tonight to help her figure out how she is going to place her furniture in their new bedrooms in our new place (using my awesome Photoshop skills to create a mock-up). Although not ideal, solutions were found that she could live with. While there, the actual move was discussed and we came up with an idea that made both of us happy. Since she would rather I drive than her husband, and I have decided that the movers I ordered are unreliable enough that I don't even want to try relying on them one more time, I will be driving the truck that they rent, and we will start with my stuff.
We are starting with going to get the truck at 9:30 AM on Friday morning. First stop: my place to load my big stuff first, followed by whatever else I have packed. Then we swing by O&R's place to get as much of their stuff that fits. If it does not all fit into one truck, we will end up needing two trips, but hopefully not more. Yes, other trucks are very welcome. O&R's electronics are going with O in their mini-van. Saving room in the big truck for the large furniture is a good thing as it will reduce the number of times I have to drive a large truck up a steep hill (did I mention we will be living up a hill?). It may be less than 3 miles away, but it is steep.
So far,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bk2w has offered his manly self to the cause (Can you get to Richmond by 10-10:30 in the AM? Do you prefer beer or soda when you help someone move - and if so, which kind?) Also, I should have R and his friend P (I think - not sure when he arrives but he is a reliable sort of friend).
Anyone else available on Friday during the day? Or Saturday to help with the yard sale?
