...Through the far reaches of sketch.
8:00am, Friday June 30th - We are rudely awakened, today is the day we have to move. Now we have a whole shwack of problems as we only have the truck for 4 hours and have no idea how this will all work *stress* anyway we eat and do the final boxing up...
...And we clean up a bit as we move the large furniture out of the apartment and onto our Landlords front lawn hahaha... Courtney and I did a lot of the lifting... Syn did a lot of cleaning.
1:00pm - We have all the large furniture down and the rain clouds start moving in! The neighbors lend us their tarps and we brace for the oncoming storm - literally and figuratively... Only we had no idea of the crazy adventure that was in store for us!
We still look alive here hahaha... We'll see how long that lasts...
4:20pm - Ahh! 1184 Crawford! How I will miss you! I've returned from picking up the truck and the rain has ceased, off come the tarps and I maneuver all of our crap into the U-haul -- the U-haul I got to drive all over the city! Woo!
6:15pm - We arrive in the rain on our street and have the daunting task of moving everything (a 17 foot truck stuffed full) for the third time today only this time through a smaller doorway and up twisty stairs!
The couch doesn't fit through the door. We decide to ditch it in an alleyway. We are horrible human beings. Well.. we TRIED to bring it to Sally Ann but it didn't work and we had no time. We left at 7:30pm with only 30 minutes to return the truck before death. (Death by $75 fee)
We are too weak to haul our mother heavy dresser inside so it spends a few nights in the rain. We finally moved it today (Tuesday, July 4th, 2006) We leave a note to anyone it may concern...
Here we are driving back to the U-haul to drop off the truck. We have lifted all our furniture 3.5 times. The truck is late. Most of our furniture and boxes are still sitting outside on the sidewalk. We still have a fanciful notion that we plan on going to the "Hard As Fuck : 666" party to which we have tickets and Scott Brown is spinning!!! But we are very tired... =O
Uhh... I am very tired here and a little on the edge so don't mind how weird I am acting.. hehe. As I explain, we have just dropped off the truck and are in the middle of nowhere with no way to get to the metro and we are about to have a crazy bus finding adventure!
We stop off at a junk yard in sketchville and dance on a car...
9:00pm - We found a bus stop that will take us to Vendome metro station and we toast a bit while we wait for bus #90.
This is us on a crazy space mission in Vendome completely unaware of the craziness that was about to follow... Will we go to the party? What will happen? Oh the suspense! Tune in for Part 2 of the 69 hour day....
