First of all there is the hired pro movers. They give you an estimate a week ahead of time and then at 7pm the night before the move they send you an email with a slightly different (higher) estimate. Then the moving cost ends up being even higher. Ahh yes, they have us over a barrel when they call at the last minute and "adjust" the estimate. I have to be out of the old Wednesday so I had no choice, really.
On a positive note the movers, Zach and Matt were young, good looking, efficient, careful and fun. AND I am spending the night in my new apartment tonight. Actually, I can't wait to get in bed.
After the movers left I went back to the old place to get my coffee pot, toaster and some stuff out of the fridge so I can feel normal in the morning starting out my day.
Other positive notes:
- There is a stream behind this building. With a nice bench to sit while the stream rolls by.
- It is a half mile walk or drive to Juanita Beach.
- I don't have to drive through Seattle or cross a bridge to see my grandchildren.
- I like the carpet color much better here.
- My unit is close to the elevator, stairs and laundry room.
- I am on the third floor so......
- There is no big fat guy above me walking around making my ceiling creak all day and half the night. (Doesn't this guy EVER sit down?)
- Comcast surprised me today after saying they couldn't make it today by showing up and hooking me up.
- AND the Comcast guy, Damin, was kind enough to move a box from my kitchen that said very clearly on the top:
BOOKS AND PIC ALBUMS
Damin said not to tell his boss. I am quite sure his boss does not read my blog.

Hi Donna! I hope you don't mind that I have been reading your blog for quite a while...I am Annie's friend Allison from Texas. We met at the wedding, and I thought that it was about time that I start commenting seeing that I read all of your posts!
I too have moved countless times, and I can completely relate to the feeling of when the move is over. Congrats on your new place, and I hope that the Comcast's guys boss doesn't read your blog!
Allison, I sure do remember you and Annie talks about you so often (all good, of course).
Wow, if someone is actually reading my blogs maybe I will be inspired to blog more often. Or freaked out, I can't decide which. Anyway, I hope you guys have a great time in the sun! Be sure to take pics of Annie (you know how the photog usually isn't in the pics).
