moving day

Ashlan is changing apartments. The new apartment is for next year, but is starting at the end of this year.
Biggest difference? Unfurnished.
It is a small (2 bedroom) apartment, for two. So maybe it doesn’t need a lot, but it needs some.

Ashlan requested (from our home): bed (actually 2 it is a trundle), a desk, a bookcase, a microwave (hers from year 1 at school), papasan chair, folding chair, small tv table on casters, sheets, and kitchen towels.

Ashlan got (from our home): bed (actually 2 it is a trundle), a desk, a microwave (hers from year 1 at school), papasan chair, folding chair, small printer table on casters, sheets, and kitchen towels.

The bookcase just would not fit. What it would not fit into was an Expotition (Ford) owned by a workmate. I was amazed that we got it all inside, even without the bookcase.

Ashlan had planned to take advantage of the vehicle in Vancouver for the day to move a bit of her stuff already there from one place to the other. Unfortunately she had only packed one box (maybe another suitcase).

What Ashlan had not expected was to pack everything in a few hours and move it all. Which is exactly what we did. I am exhausted. It will probably take her a while to figure out where everything is located. But, she will not have to carry it box by box on the bus.

Ride up and down, pretty easy punctuated by rainstorms. (It never really rained while we were loading and unloading and was fairly sunny in Vancouver.) Vera’s burger for lunch, Taste of India for dinner.

I still feel like I owe my workmate. It was a good day, and a good tired.
