Slowly Making Progress
Our movers were scheduled to arrive around 9:30-10, so we headed over to Caribou Coffee for one last treat and for me to grab some fuel (caffeine) — but we got called half way there and had to turn around — they were already there and it wasn’t even 9am!
So after a bit of rushing and figuring out the best way for them to access my apartment, they got to work and had my furniture moved just as quickly as they got there. They were off to the boyfriend’s apartment, and while I ran to Starbucks for my much needed Skinny Vanilla Latte (iced, of course, since it was already 85 degrees and only 10am) the movers got to work on his place. I got a call on my way home, 15 minutes later, from Chuck telling me they were almost done at his place!!
Once they had everything packed at both our places, we headed off to the new townhouse for them to wind things up the staircase. Everything went up smoothly except our queen box-springs, which prompted a Sunday morning trip to Ikea. And of course, the one piece of furniture I really wanted them to be careful with — my new dresser — was the one thing that got damaged. Just a small chip in the veneer on one side and a scuff of paint from the baseboards as they were trying to get it up the stairs, but still! It slipped out of their hands and dropped about 6 inches onto one of the guys legs (remember those skinny little legs? Ouch!) and I about had a heart-attack!
This was the scene Monday morning. We are still making progress, and we still have a lot of work to do — but we are getting there. Did you notice I am trying color coordinated books? I believe I wrote an old post on how much I hated it — but because we have such a small amount of reading material, I figured it would be worth a try!
Kira is also loving the stairs in the new place — she keeps running up and down them! Hopefully she’ll lose a bit of weight — she was getting a bit chubby! ;) In fact, it probably wouldn’t hurt any of us!
Hopefully we’ll be more organized in the next week and I can really start sharing some of the things we are doing and have planned for the space! :)
