So the moving company originally pushed me to move a little earlier than I had wanted so that they would be able to deliver my stuff before the fourth of July. That was the actual week I wanted to move, but the guy told me that it was one of their busiest weeks of the year (fair enough) but if I pushed my move up to June 28th they could probably get my stuff here by July 2nd. Now this required me to negotiate a couple extra June days into my lease that was to start on July 1st at a prorated amount, a little bit of a hassle, and to miss more days of work than anticipated since I couldn't work the holiday into the actual moving days. But I did it, and the truck was packed last Thursday.

So after them not calling by yesterday and saying stuff was on the way for delivery, I called them and found out that my possessions are not scheduled to arrive until JULY TENTH. That is NEXT TUESDAY. For the record, I am seriously pissed off because I am in the house already with next to nothing in it, I had to work all around getting in early, etc. and they gave me a screw job on delivery. Now, I know they said they could "probably" get it here the 2nd, but if you don't hear any different before then, don't you kind of assume that it's on track? So now I have another week to basically camp in my house here with the bare minimum of necessities. At least there is a bathroom. Grumble.

I hate moving!

My last move from from Missouri to C-U and in with my now husband. We had everything packed and the u-haul trailer loaded and attached to my husband's truck. Got literally 2 miles out of town and the damn tire blew.

And the place where we rented the u-haul said they don't do service. We waited on the side of the road for about 4 hours waiting for the serviceman.

We should have pulled into C-U about 5 pm. Not tired and not exhausted. We ended up pulling in after midnight.

Hope your things arrive soon.

The good news for today is that the moving guys called late Tuesday night to see if they could bring my stuff yesterday. I was shocked that they would work the holiday, but they did, they were awesome and now my stuff is here. Yeah! Now I have to unpack it all. Boo! :)
