short and sweet(ish)

Friday:
Movers came to rental, moved heavy furniture.
Carpet installer came to house, installed carpet.
Timing of Movers and Carpet-man overlapped.
All heavy furniture currently piled up in living room of house.

Saturday:
Lots of packing at rental. With so much time and effort put into the new place, we pretty much didn't pack anything before the move. Oops.
Began trips between rental and new house with full car loads.

Sunday:
More trips. More moving.

Monday:
All day deep cleaning at rental.
Behind schedule a bit more than anticipated.
Final trip from rental to new house: lawn mower.
New "For Rent" sign in window at rental.

Tuesday:
Mr. P realizes he's lost his wallet.
Ignore previously planned day off to work at new house.
Run to DMV, bank, SSA office.
New house in afternoon to stage bedroom furniture.
Remaining furniture still in living room.
I find lost wallet at 9:30 pm.

Lots of sweat. A bit of blood. Resisting tears. Happy to know I don't have to do this again for a long time.

Staying with my folks for now. Hopeful we don't get in the way.

That was one crazy weekend. At least you are done with the rental and the wallet is found.
