In the past 10 days:

Bodhi

Spike

1. I got to pet sit for two great animals: Bodhi the dog and Spike the cat.
2. I loaded (with help) a huge moving truck, which my step-father drove it for me.
3. I dealt with an overly picky apartment inspection. I had better get my deposit back.
4. I started an unplanned motorcycle ride home to Illinois after loading the truck all day on Weds (we couldn’t get the bike on the truck). I rode to St. Louis and stayed the night, before making the rest of the trip the next day. Mom followed me in her car. It was the next best thing to being on a motorcycle trip with her. So there was good and bad in not being able to load the bike.
5. We unloaded the truck at home and at the storage facility and returned it.
6. FYI, diesel fuel from Columbia, MO to Dixon, IL was only $130.
7. I am definitely selling my armoire asap. It is too heavy to move ever again. Not even one more time.
8. I couldn’t tow my car (toyota celica) because it is too low to the ground. It’s still in Columbia. Mom will drive me down hopefully on Weds, her first day off, and pick it up. It’s a good thing that diesel wasn’t as much as I thought it was going to be because this extra trip will be an added gas expense.
9. I set-up and configured a wireless router so now I have an Internet connection that doesn’t involve using my parents’ computer.
10. My younger brother’s birthday was yesterday.
11. Happy Father’s Day brunch and birthday celebration today. I was also able to see my nephew Cole–what a sweetie!
12. Tomorrow, finally, will be a day I can get some other non-move related work done.
