For the moving day I had hired a moving company to move all the boxes and the heavy stuff like the couch, TV and expecially the 200 lbs washer/dryer. So I got up around 6 am and took Daisy for her morning walk. After we got back I had breakfast and then packed up some last minute items. I was done with all that by 8 am. Then the only thing left to do was to wait for the moving company to show up. Well, they were supposed to show up by 8 am...and at 8.20 am the bell finally rang. So that wasn't that much of waiting time.
We made our first walk-through and I told them what all had to be moved. Well, they had carried down the boxes in absolutely no time. That would be something that would have taken me at least 2 hours. Next up was my living room couch follwed by the TV and finally the carried down the 200 lbs washer/dryer. Those 2 guys are really used to doing that stuff. And expecially one of them was quite an eyecandy. I certianly wouldn't have thrown him out of my bed.
While all that moving was going on, Daisy had to stay in the kitchen, because she would have been in the way all the time. There's one thing that this dog knows to do perfectly...find the worst spot possible! Once all the stuff was in the moving truck, I left Daisy at my old apartment and headed over to my new place. I got there a couple of minutes after the moving guys got there. In the new place it was way easier, since there is an elevator and you don't have to carry all the stuff up 4 flights of stairs. By 10.30 am the entire move was over. And it only cost me 250 bucks. That's money well spent as far as I'm concerned. And should I ever move again I wouldn't hesitate to hire that moving comany again.
The plan was to get some cleaning supplies and then pick up Daisy, head over to the new place and do some cleaning and to head out to the hardware store for some supplies I was missing. But we all know, that nothing ever works out as planned. When I left the store I got a call from the realtor of my old place that he intended to show the place the next day. With me having already moved out, that wasn't the issue. But during all the packing I hadn't done any cleaning in my old place in the past 10 days...and it really showed. So I grabbed some cleaning supplies and headed over to the old place to get some basic cleaning done. The bathroom and living room were done fairly quickly. Then I packed up some stuff that I didn't have any moving box for and transproted that stuff over to my new place. Having to take public transportation for that was actually not that bad. After some lunch I headed back over to my old place to finish cleaning the the kitchen and the living room. By the time I was done it was about 7 pm. I probably could have let it the way it was, but first of all I didn't want it to look like pigsty and second I really didn't want that any amount is being deducted from my security deposit.
When I got to my new apartment I just put the the couch in it's place, connected BluRay Player and TV, ordered some Pizza and that finally brought this moving day to an end. Well, I won't be having any highspeed internet until Thursday...but for those few Days I will be using my cell phone as protable WiFi Hotspot.
