The Never-Ending Move

Posted Sep 20 2009 10:32pm

Hi, guys! I’m alive!! It’s been a tough couple of days. Mal and I had the most difficult and exhausting move ever! Basically, everything that could go wrong, did! I’ll spare you the gory details, but next time we move, we will definitely hire movers! I’m never moving myself again! :-x

The never-ending move started on Friday afternoon with a trip to UHall to pick up a truck.

A few hours later, we were finally packed up!

We spend the next 6-7 hours moving furniture into our apartment. Honestly, it was an absolute nightmare! It was just Mal and me lugging heavy, awkward furniture up four flights of stairs. Needless to say, we were feeling bruised and battered by the end!

And, to make matters worse, the battery died on our UHall. (We left the lights on. :oops: ) And we were double-parked in the middle of the road in Southie. Ugh, it was a nightmare.

The next morning, we grabbed a quick breakfast from P.S. Gourmet. I had to introduce Mal to their delicious coffee and egg sandwiches! I had an egg and cheese sandwich and a Butter Cookie coffee. Mmmm!

Mal and I still had more moving to do, so we headed to our old apartment to grab the last few things and clean it before the management company came to “inspect” it as part of the “move-out procedures.”

We left the place pretty close to spotless!

Mal and I were both starving when we finally decided to grab lunch. It was probably 3:30 in the afternoon– way past my lunch time!

We popped into Bruegger’s for a couple of bagel sandwiches.

I ordered a Rosemary Olive Oil bagel with sun-dried tomato spread, tomato, lettuce, cucumber, red onion, green peppers, roasted red peppers, and sprouts. It was an AWESOME veggie combo! :-D

Mal had a few bites of my sandwich– he was so jealous!

After lunch,  we were off to Ikea, where we bought so much furniture! Our new place is bigger, but lacks storage, so we needed some storage-y pieces for all of our crap stuff.

I love Ikea! Mal and I always have a fun time there! :mrgreen:

After Ikea, we dropped off our new furniture at our apartment and then drove to Mal’s parent’s storage unit to store our couch, which was too big to fit up the stairs of our new place. That was a fun discover! :-? It’s a good thing we got the love seat out of storage, so we have something to sit on!

Mal and I ate dinner around 9:00 pm last night. We had tuna sandwiches and Kettle chips.

And celebratory beers! :mrgreen: It tasted SO GOOD when it hit my lips!

Mal, Murphy, and I spent the rest of the evening putting together furniture and setting up our new place.

Our apartment is still in shambles, but everything is moved in! Finally!

We have a lot on the agenda for Sunday:

  • Dog park
  • Pet Smart (Murph outgrew his harness already!)
  • Grocery shopping
  • Writing my Health post
  • Unpacking!

Happy Sunday! I’m off!
