Countdown continues…

Now 7 days until moving day, 8 days until closing day!  Of course couldn’t make it without snow, damn.  Got hit with a big snow storm on Sunday, nearly 15” fell here in the Eau Claire area.  The roads and everything else was a mess, a lot of the roads still are snow covered and slippery.  Went out Monday and got the driveway snowplowed off, not without some humor I must add.  Girl car ran out of gas pulling into my drive, with moving and all didn’t have any gas left, so the neighbor ran her to her mom’s house to get a can of gas.  Her boyfriend brought her back, the can she got was all busted on top so the gas was pouring everywhere but in the tank.  I dumped that can into one that I had so she could get it in her tank.  Her boyfriend got his piece-o-crap van stuck in the snow bank, this guy was completely and utterly clueless!  Then the two them got into a big fight in driveway of god knows what or cares.  Went back to finish the sidewalks and the back window on my Trailblazer shattered into a thousand tiny pieces!!!  Wonderful!  Had to call Safelite Auto glass, they came out in under 2 hours and took the truck to their shop, cleaned up the glass and vacuumed  out the entire truck, replace the back window as good as new!  It’s amazing what you get for $848.00 luckily only a $100 deductible on insurance so that pretty much covered my insurance premiums for this year any how.

The packing continues and is almost to the point of nothing further can be done until actual moving day to finish up the odds and ends, take a part the bed, desk and such things.  Just left clothes and such in drawers in dressers and move the whole thing in one shot.  Take a shed load over on Friday and then load up 3 loads to take over on Saturday morning to put in the garage of the new house.  Keeping fingers crossed that will lighten the load enough to fit the rest into the 26’ U-Haul truck and the other 3 vehicles on actual moving day December 18th.  Just keep hoping that we have no more snow until after the 20th of December???  Returned Charter HD Cable box this afternoon so won’t have to deal with that next week as well.  Couple of doctors appointments tomorrow, loading vehicles on Friday, drive over on Saturday, unload and have Christmas diner in Unity.  Sunday and Monday final packing and prep for Tuesday!
