~ They're In ~

       

The rain held off on Wednesday for the move.  My son was told the apartment would be ready by 10 am.   He was organized and had his plans in place.  He woke up early and got the remainder of little things in his car.  His buddy was there and they were ready to go.  At 9:30 the rental office called and said they are behind.  They were putting in a new tile back splash, sink, and counter top.  They weren't going to be done until 3.  I know he was livid, but kept his cool.  He's been on his own for over a year so he took the time to clean up his room at the old place.  His room mates are planning on staying.  Hmmm I wonder though.  He was the only one that contributed with household items.  Living room furniture, big screen TV. kitchen set.  It was all going.  I give the other guys a couple days and they'll be gone.  Good thing he gave his landlord notice and it was a very relaxed month to month set up.

 

They did get the truck about 1 and were able to load his items in.  They made their way to his girlfriends house and loaded her things.  It was then they got the call that said they could get in. It was a bit earlier then 3, but much later then he planned.  By the time I was ready to leave work they were still not back at the apartment.  They went to get load 2.  I came home and changed my clothes.  Ordered pizza and wings and stopped to get some beer.  When I pulled in the parking lot they were loading things off the truck.  I grabbed the goods and headed in. 

 

They are on the third floor and in the back.  It really is a nice apartment.   You enter into the dining area, there is a partial wall that blocks the living room that runs the width of the dining area and the kitchen.  The kitchen area is just cooking space, but there is a good amount of cupboards.  More then enough for thetwo of them.  Now anyway.  We all know how we accumulate shit!  LOL  Two bedrooms and a good size bath.  There is balcony off the living room and is big enough for a grill and couple of chairs.  I was impressed.  Very nice.  Classy

 

They stopped to eat and have an ice cold beer, and was back to work.  As they unloaded the truck S and I made room in the kitchen and started unpacking dishes.  Right into the dishwasher.  When the washer was loaded I put soap in and turned the dial.  Nothing!  I messed with things, settings, still nothing.  I rearranged the dishes thinking maybe there was a sensor or sort.  Still nothing.  The dishwasher manual was in there when we opened it so for the first time in my life I had to read directions on how to run a dishwasher!!!!  WTF!?!  So I read the directions.   Load dishes, load soap, select setting, turn on water at the nearest faucet until it gets hot.  HUH????????   Never have I heard that!  Not ever!!!  It wasn't like we had to connect the dishwasher to the spout.  I do it, and still nothing.  GRRRRRR  So I tell them to add a broken dishwasher to the list that they had to return to the office.  I took a few things out of the dishwasher and started washing.  They can't fix it if it is full.  I get some done and then start to move things on the counter to make more room.  There on the wall is two plug outlets and two light switches.  I look around, there is a garbage disposal, but no light.  Hmmm  What do you suppose that is for.  Well 'bite me' it's to turn on the dishwasher.  LOL  Glad I found it before I did ALL the dishes. 

 

I got home about 10 and I was beat!  My thighs and calves throbbed.  From watching the guys lift and carry everything up the stairs no doubt.  LOL  I know why my calves were sore.  No step stool and I was on my tip toes hanging the shower curtain.  I thought about standing on the side of the tub, but I know me.  I'd have slipped and cracked my head open or something.  Just not use to bending and twisting like I did last night.   Hmmm... well not that way or for that purpose anyhow.  :)~

 

Today I was stiff but doing good.  It rained most of the day and I was thrilled the move was yesterday.  I will be stopping for some groceries on the way home tomorrow and dropping them off.  A little care package.  They are both off and will finish unpacking as well as find some blinds to put on the windows.   He called earlier and said things are coming together nicely.  They are both thrilled and extremely happy.  That makes Mom happy!!!  My babies growing up and the memories flood in. 

 

YIKES!!!!  Long entry sorry.  Hope everyone had a good day.

 

Hugs
