Lots of Fun! Lots of Work!

Yesterday, I drove 60 or so miles to help my college daughter move from her apartment to her house. We probably went up and down 100 flights of stairs. Her apartment had 6 steps, a landing, then 6 steps, 3 or 4 down to the sidewalk. We moved her bed, mattress set, chest, bookcase, night table, clothes, dinnerware, silverware, air conditioner...lots of household items. We had carried the box spring to the car when the clouds let loose and rain poured on us. Of course, the hatch would not close because the items were so big, so we had to jerry rig a bungee cord. Once we arrived at the house, the front door deadlock would not turn, so we had to use the back door. It leads directly into her friend's bedroom. We carried items up the porch steps and then up 12 or so steps to my daughter's bedroom. We made several trips. The girls are making a repair list. The 2 x 4 screen in my daughter's room does not stay in, there is a flood under the 1st floor sink and the deadloock doesn't open. The house is old, but the rooms are bright. It has 5 bedrooms and 2 living areas. There is a garrett on the 3rd floor and the basement can be reached by going outside and through the door. The floors are not level and the window baseboards need to be replaced. Lots of college students moving in on her street. Fun to watch. We had sandwiches and chips before I took off for home. When I left, it was still daylight. I thought the switch was set so that the lights were on in the car, but the switch was off, so I drove a good long time in the dark with no lights. Good thing legions of angels were on the job. I had hoped to go grocery shopping with my daughter, but it was late, so today I sent her a fruit and snack basket. I enjoy moving day. I have moved my daughter from her dorm, in and out of her sorority and apartment, and now into her house! Worked off 2471 calories!
