Stranger in a strange land

Today was moving day.  After picking up my dad at the Greyhound station yesterday, we had to go to freakin’ Greenwood to pick up the U-Haul truck (which tacks about 30 miles to the trip just to get the thing home).  After last-minute packing which still managed to miss things, we got the truck packed this morning with the help of two very good movers from Indiana Movers.  They packed that truck to the ceiling and got everything I wanted to take in there easily and with minimal shifting on the drive over.  On arrival to my new apartment in Cincinnati, I was able to check in and get a dolly at the leasing office which made short work of unpacking the Pimp Sled, but it won’t be until tomorrow morning that I get the moving van unpacked.

It feels weird to be moving to a new city for a year.  It’s almost like college in that I’m moving backward from owning my own place to renting an apartment.  However, it’s a very nice apartment and should look better once I get some furniture in it tomorrow!

    Did the furniture arrive?

    Yup - got moved in and the furniture is all intact. I drove the U-Haul myself and miraculously didn’t destroy all my belongings in the process. Unpacking is a pain, however.
