Moving is Exhausting Work

Even with movers hired, moving is exhausting. (and apparently dangerous for me). After having to move all my stuff into a storage unit or take to my friend's house, where I stayed once I moved out on the 31st of May, I am exhausted.  I had to be out of the old apartment on the 31st, but was staying there once Justin moved out on the 9th, but I couldn't pick up the keys to the new place until the 31st.  This meant I had to put my things in storage for a couple of days.

I spent five days tromping up and down a flight of stairs, more than 50+ times each day, and my back, knees, and ankles are still feeling it. Then having to move it again from storage and my friend's house to the new place made it worse.  Yes, I hired a moving company...what a disaster:

                  Quote---$594
                  Time/Guys,/Truck---4 hrs/2 guys/1 truck
                   Arrival----Saturday between 2-4

                   Actual Cost---$1600
                   Time/Guys/Truck----9hrs/2 guys/ 1 truck
                    Arrival---Sunday at 4:00

I will NEVER use that moving company again.  UGH!!!

But I am happy, I am back on track, and I am comfortable in my new place that makes me feel safe and secure.
