More of the same

The day dawned early...5:00 early.  Will definitely be looking into some kind of room darkening shades for the bedroom.  I'm an early riser, but 6:00 or 6:30 early not 5:00 early.  But it was nice having the mattress last night.  It's warm today but actually hasn't been too bad in here.  We have one fan and may want a couple more when we are here for good.

After breakfast (complete with slightly frozen milk...frig needs adjustment apparently!), Jim went to the Corinth storage unit to drop off the things we loaded up last night.  I stayed at the apartment to start organizing.  I took everything out of the one bedroom where Kyle and Jim had just dropped off all the boxes.  So things were stacked awkwardly and in no order.  I got everything back in neat piles of organized chaos.  So at this point all the boxes we had brought here are either organized where they will stay or unpacked.  Progress.

Organized chaos

Then it was on to cleaning.  Each room has plastic mini-blindsand they were filthy.  They really need to be taken down and soaked but I did the next best thing and scrubbed them all.  So I'm taking a break after all that.  I washed the floors of the rooms we are using for storage - although it's cheap linoleum so you really can't tell.  At this point, I have bathroom and kitchen floors to do.  At least it's a first pass and makes me feel better.

Jim just called and they had just gotten to the barn with a truckload.   Once they get that unloaded, it's back to the Saratoga unit to pick up the rest and get that taken to Corinth.  If all that can happen before Kyle had to go back, that would be amazing.

Sitting in the living room writing this sure emphasizes yet another sign that we aren't at home.  Corinth is a little city and our apartment is right in the heart of it.  With no air, windows are open so you hear lots and lots of noise...car traffic, motorcycles, sirens, music...quite the difference from the quiet country life that we're used to.

Okay, rested long enough...it's back to work, Cinderella!

Jim got to the apartment about 5:00 - they had taken the load to the barn, for back to the Saratoga unit and got everything emptied out and back on the truck.  They stopped to get water refills and then headed to the Corinth unit.  They got the truck totally emptied out and even got some furniture that we had put in that storage earlier back on the truck and moved upstairs into the apartment!

So after yesterday's "what are we doing" overwhelming day, we are so happy with everything today.  Jim and Kyle were totally able to accomplish all the moving goals and the apartment is clean and organized.  We were able to run Kyle through McDonald's and got him to the bus with about 5 minutes to spare.  Jim and I celebrated with a Hawaiian pizza at Pope's.  Life in Corinth is good.
