Moved Today

Not so painless, but everything eventually fell into place. I was right we were incredibly organized, and it was an easy packing job (into truck). The elevator was small and we had to make about four trips. The washer/dryer drama, deserves it's own entry.

Just back to do some more clean up and final pick ups of things. Working tomorrow at 06:10. Getting picked up at the new address. Strange. Shower sucks. Furniture arrived. . .twice, first time Leon's showed up an hour before they were supposed to, the building books elevators at certain times and does not deviate from them. So they came back later, about twenty minutes after we were done with the move. Movers didn't cost as much as I thought, so all in all a good day. Except for fighting with girlfriend. Ah whattaayagonnado? We were both stressed with the ordeal of moving. Now that that's taken care of, we can go about the business of building a new home! Exciting.

Now to bed.

Moving Day

Today is our last day on the East side of the City of Toronto. I spent four years just north of the Danforth and just finished 6 months living just south of it. We are moving to an apartment right on the waterfront now. We got the keys yesterday and are awaiting the movers.

Why do I have time to write up a blog entry? Because my girlfriend is an organizational neurotic and we were packed yesterday, since the movers would charge us more for having to come up the stairs, we've organized everything in the order we would like it to go into the truck, front to back, on the porch. I have photos even, but I packed my camera's usb cable already so they'll have to come after the fact.

The movers are due for noon, here at the house and then we're off to the new place for our prearranged elevator time. Yep, had to organize that too. We're buying a washer/dryer stacked unit from a neighbour who is moving across the street and can't fit it into their new place. It's better and newer than the one that came with our apt. so this is good. The plan is to take the movers up there first and then start our stuff. It's not going to take them very long, we almost don't need them. I timed us getting everything to the porch, about 45 minutes. The easiest move ever. Okay, I won't speak to soon, so far it's been good. We're resting, but I can't trust her to sit still on the porch with our stuff, she just keeps moving around doing stuff. I apologize for the boring entry. I'm going to get back out to man the porch. We even have a pilon for the truck when it arrives, to save it's space on the street in front.

I wonder what's going on in the world today, I'll have to read the news. Oh yeah pedophile at a childrens' hospital here in Toronto. These guys are just popping up everywhere. . . something seriously has to change.
