The stumping game...
Looks like I just played the stumping game, and won!
The game is where you pay a bill with a clearly significant amount, which implies "keep the change". And, the waitress can't figure out how much change to give you back...
IE: today's bill came to $25+change, and I left $31. ;D
Done!
Now to call a cab, so I can go some where nice to crash.

Uh Oh
There's trouble brewing!
Three more pieces to go, but they are rearranging the load....
When will this day end... I'm in need of a shower and bed .z.z.z. And a few Advils would be nice as well. 8-)

End in sight?
Looks like we are coming up on the home stretch. They have wrapped my mattresses up in plastic. This something no other move has done, maybe there's a future for this company... ...except as I already said, I don't plan on there ever being another move for me! ;)

I hear fireworks!
I guess somebody else here in Ohio is a Canadian!
Meanwhile, I just watched the movers push their truck out of the way of blocking somebody in! Now to see if they can get it back, and finish the load.
Seems the truck requires a push start!?!

Umm, things'll get really interesting...
...tonight, after the movers take all my lamps! :)
Guess that sets my revised plan....

Hmm...
I never noticed before that the neighbor below me has a wall AC unit in their livingroom window, before. I guess I didn't get out much (at all) during my unemployment.

Sounds like a bird in distress...
...it is probably a/some hungry chicks, perhaps the ones in the nest featured on my phlog.
Guess all the moving today is keeping mom away :(

Starting to get dark
Maybe I'll have to revise my evening plans. Though I would think that my hotel reservation is safe since I charged it to American Express, at least I'm pretty sure that I did.

I don't ever want to move again!
And not just because I'm going to be way over estimate and budget, or that the next one will probably cost me a small fortune in new boxes.
But moving is a pain in general.
Maybe I need to shoot for winning the lottery so that I can secure ownership of my home there... and at least enough to basically live out my days there.
Meanwhile, the place is starting to look really big and empty. Which might be a bad thing, because the new place didn't seem all that big....

I found it...
I knew it was somewhere. But I just couldn't find it.
Didn't think to look behind my bedroom door...which I don't think I've ever closed in all the time I've lived here.
Now I can throw it out.

Looks like I'll be having a late supper...
...at Steak n Shake, again.
And, then I'm not sure... probably just a really quick look over and then hail a cab for the hotel I'll be spending the next two nights until my final trip to Manhattan.

I was wrong
Turns out the last truck is also a move out. Just a rental where the driver really wanted to get close.

Busy place today
Just spotted my fourth moving truck today, and that's just the area visible from my apartment.
Though this last one seems to be going the other direction. Not sure if more out than in is a good thing or not. Though I know the other out from my building is a local move, because the person was moving some of his own stuff... and it didn't take long for him to make a trip.

Just occurred to me...
Aside from today being Canada Day... Independence Day is just around the corner, and with luck that will be the day the movers get me into my new place...minimizing the amount of time I'll have to sleep (and live) in an empty place. ;D
Normally, if I'm lucky I can see some fireworks through the trees behind my apartment. I wonder how they celebrate things in Manhattan?
OTOH, I suspect it being close to a University there'll be lots of people setting of fireworks late at night. It happens here, and we aren't that close. The University factor is that there'll probably be more of it.
Wonder what I'll have in the way of window covers, if any.

This might take a while...
Boy am I email/cellphone blogging a lot today. Wonder if I should see about adding the capability to my main blog?
But looks like the move will take a while. There are only two people doing the move. The other move from here had four people working that move. Plus that was from a second floor apartment, I'm in a third floor apartment.
The move in should hopefully go better, it is only a half story up. I had decided that I didn't want top floor this time around... But, I didn't like how close the lower floor windows were from the ground (lower floor is half story down, which worked because the building is built on a hill with street and parking 'above'.)
I guess the only thing that worries me about that is the more cramped floorplan.

It's 3PM, do you know where your movers are?
Well, I don't....
And I'm getting really annoyed!
...more to follow...
since the matter resolved, and the way that it did.... I don't feel like writing anything more on this.
But, the lateness was justified and I thought things went better than expected....

The things you learn when you bored
It has always seemed off that the outlet by the sink in one bathroom wasn't a GFCI. Turns out that it is downstream of the outlet in the other bathroom, so it was probably overkill that I had a plug in unit...
This led me to check out the kitchen plugs, there are three counter plugs...and only two are GFCI, as expected one of them was linked to the GFCI next to it... Then I wondered about the plug on the other side of the sink... It is tied to the GFCI on the other side of the oven... Kind of distant, but I guess it makes sense in a lazy kind of way.
Wonder how things will be in my new place?
