Day 241

#np - Blown Away by Carrie Underwood

Today is my last moving day.  I'm just cleaning my old (Lexington) apartment and then heading to Louisville to unpack everything we moved to my new apartment yesterday.  The move went fairly well yesterday.  I think the day was always going to be stressful though.  

It started with a 14 foot Enterprise moving truck.  I was intimidated when Enterprise called to sat that they didn't have a truck with a ramp but rather one with a lift.  That sounds good, right?  Well, sure, but it also sounds...intense...professional...complicated...big.  So I did what anyone would do.  I googled pictures of 14 foot moving trucks.  That didn't help.

The visit to Enterprise was a lot to deal with including training on diesel fuel, DEF something, and recycling exhaust.  Then I got 500 feet down the road and could get out of first when I freaked out, started crying and then their staff came running down the road saying they forgot to explain the slap shift to me.  Yeah, ya think!?  I never left first gear!

After that I hit a brick mailbox, and took several other curbs but luckily I got the insurance on the truck so it was all good.  The move actually didn't take long since I had five people helping me.  Driving the mini-semi-truck was pretty horrible though and getting gas was very confusing.  But I made it.  Now I just need to shut off my internet here and clean this apartment and Barkley, my mom and myself can head to Louisville!
