Moving pt 2
Posted in rant with tags caretaking, GM Van lines, moving on March 31, 2008 by ButtercupRNWow,still resting from moving part 2. The movers were supposed to show up early on the 21st,they call to say they’ll be there at 1pm then they limp in around 1:30pm with nearly a full truck and three totally exhausted movers.They took one look at my folks 2/2 w/ full garage and looked like they were going to cry,we nearly cried too when we realized we couldn’t move my folks that day.So it was quite a let down to set them up and make sure they had everything they needed for 2 more days.
So the movers say we’ll set up a time and show up being and early,fresh and rested with an empty truck,well………one outta three ain’t bad(it is actually).They show up 4 1/2 hours late with no explanation other than it took longer……..or something(they’d already been there 2 days earlier!).They look at me with dread and ask repeatedly”Is this going?”I say “yes,everything is”(patiently at first),then “YES!! It’s all going!!!!” I felt bad for them but that’s why I hired three of them so they could work together and it wouldn’t be so hard. Sheesh!
Anyway,my folks are here and established now,I put safety equipment in their bathroom;a raised seat,a shower chair,mats or rugs over tile floor,etc. anything I could think of. My mom now has a walk in closet that is bigger than the bathroom we had in our original house and the master suite is probably bigger than their entire first house.
My nephew and his son went fishing in the lake behind the house,it’s huge and apparently has a lot of catfish which is good for catch and release training for his son.My mom put it aptly when she said”it’s nice to have a full house”.
It is.
