Worst Part of the Day - Wake up to a downpour on my moving day. Sigh. But the movers arrived promptly and seemed like nice guys. At first I thought they were going slow and then they picked it up. But then slow again and then they picked it up. Toward the end of the loading process, my mom and I noticed that they were just standing at the truck. Just standing. Just standing. So I head out and suddenly there is a flurry of activity. Huh. But we are heading to do the unload at the new place and (from my past four moves) I know that this takes about half the time of the load. So we are all good. But the unload took FOREVER! One guy would go up the truck and grab one thing and head down, stop and then try to figure out where to put it. I finally just stood outside in the drizzle to supervise. When they hit 10.5 hours, they all of a sudden starting picking up the pace (coincidence that I had a 11 hour not to exceed on the contract?? My mom noticed and didn't even know about the 11 hour not to exceed).
Also we have some sort of a leak (according to the water company) but they did leave the water on. AND did you know that I needed to call a separate utility for gas which is the heat to our house? I missed them this morning and the they would not come out and so no heat and no hot water. At least the computer is set up but it's slow.

Best Part of the Day - Did purchase a tv. Did ride home in the trunk of the car (the tv took up the backseat). Did have a nice, vino-full dinner with Erik and mom. Glad the day is ova'!
