Moving sucks
Posted by Gypsy on Apr 3, 2007
On Friday, I went to the transportation office on Fort Irwin to schedule the movers to come and get all my stuff. With them scheduled to arrive between 8 a.m and 5 p.m. today, I figured I would wake up at 7 a.m. and be ready for them when they arrived. Guess I should’ve gotten up earlier as I was still in a towel when I heard them outside at 7:20. Luckily by the time they knocked, I was already completely dressed and lighting my morning cigarette. Usually I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to moving. I love change, but my body hates it and tends to rebel.
Luckily, the next three hours became a blur of activity, with my whole apartment packed and in the trucks by 10:30. I don’t know how they get it done so fast, but it made me happy because I had the apartment cleaned, my car packed and was on the road a little bit after noon. I made it to Los Angeles around 2:30 p.m. and have finally gotten unpacked and settled in, for the most part.
I’m still trying to adjust a little. I’m used to an apartment twice this size all to myself. Now I’m sharing a studio with a friend. A non-smoking, neat-freak friend. So it’s going to take a little adjusting on my part. But hopefully I’ll have a job and my own place very soon. Until then, at least I’m in LA and can start really searching for a job. And partying with friends.
How much do I suck that I didn’t know you were already in LA? To my credit this happened yesterday, but still. Why did I think you were just moving your stuff there first and then you’d arrive a few weeks later? I’ve been out of the Christina loop and I don’t like the way that feels! :0(
Glad the moving went okay. Me and Andrew were gonna phone you at around three o’clock your time when we were in London, but I was too shy to talk to you on the phone. Since you were already gone by that point, I guess it’s best I didn’t call.
I offered Kelvin the use of my phone and everything.
Glad the move went well. You need to post a pic of the new place (unless already done which I missed)
Oh well, I’ll see you guys soon anyway.
Can’t post photos as it’s technically not my place. I’m just staying with an old friend for awhile. But once I have a job and my own place, then I”m all about the photos.
