Day 18 of living out of the same suitcase with no furniture or household items to speak of. How did it come to this? I’m so glad you asked. Here’s some fun with calendars to get you up-to-date.
Tuesday, June 8th – Movers pick up all of our belongings. We are left with a spare mattress, a television, 2 bowls, 2 spoons, 2 forks, a dog and one suitcase each.
Saturday, June 12th – We sell the spare mattress and head west.
Sunday, June 20th – Pull up to new apartment, unload television, bowls, spoons, forks, dog, suitcases and are reduced to sleeping/eating/sitting on an air mattress until the movers show up with our stuff.
Monday, June 21st – Dan places 647 calls to the moving company where it is apparently a national holiday because no one is working or answering the phone.
Tuesday, June 22nd – A representative from the moving company calls to inform us they are unaware their contract reads “Must deliver household goods no later than 5 pm on Friday, June 25th”, but they MIGHT be able to deliver our stuff by Friday, July 2nd.
Friday, June 25th – Dan professes his dire hatred for the air mattress and opts to sit in the dog bed on the floor instead. The contract deadline for delivery silently passes by.
Saturday, June 26th – A different representative from the moving company calls in the early morning hours to confirm our phone number and new address (in case it has changed in the last 4 days) but knows nothing of when our belongings will arrive.
Sunday, June 27th - I hunt down every person responsible for moving our stuff, kidnap them, hold them captive in the back of a truck for approximately one month with nothing but a television, 2 bowls, 2 spoons, 2 forks and an air mattress and see how they like it.
Monday, June 28th – I go to jail. But at least I have a cot to sit on.
