unicorndukeJade rolled in very early this morning.
She got started cleaning her stuff, picking it up and packing it all. I ran over to the uhaul place and picked up my truck. Had a minor detour when I realized I wouldn't be able to clear the old railroad bridge that is now a rail trail.
Once I got back, I sat around in my room and futzed around on the internet until Jade was ready. I backed the uhaul in, we loaded my stuff in (chest freezer, squashy red chair, two 6 foot tall book shelves, my desk, and my bed. I loaded into the truck in reverse order as listed here because the chest freezer needed to go into the storage unit first.
And we did it! It was the most glorious space puzzle and everything fit in perfectly. I was able to leave a very tiny space for me to get to the back and it worked out well. I drove the uhaul back to the store and dropped it off immediately.
Then headed back, ordered delivery mexican food for lunch and sat around and ate.
After lunch, we loaded the three couches and one broken dresser into the back of my truck one by one and took them over to the dumpster and dropped them over there. I'll go to city hall on monday and drop off the bulk item pickup form and the payment. Either they'll pick them up or the apartment will remove them, I don't really care which.
The big couch was awkward and heavy enough that we just let it slide down the stairs. Since it was too wide, we had to flip it on it's back to carry and there was no good handhold since the corners curved. Sliding. Many thanks to gravity.
After that, Jade hit the road with the last of her stuff, I cleaned the floors of the salt and dirt and cat hair found under the couches. She left a tall square coffee table and a shelf behind because she ran out of room in her car. Good news for me because I can use the coffee table for my computer desk since I didn't take my desk chair over to storage yet. I should be able to squeeze them in somewhere when the time comes.
I've got a bunch more cleaning to do but Jade did do some scrubbing in the bathroom and cleaned her bedroom well enough.
Mara spent basically the whole day on the balcony and she was quite happy about that.
