Today (Saturday) was a whirlwind day away from the hospital to take care of business in DC, specifically clearing everything out of both the Georgetown house under renovation so that contractors have full ability to gut, as well as clear everything out of the Palisades apartment that is not a conducive residence for Laura to continue her treatment and so we are terminating lease. Naturally, I underestimated the challenge both of these tasks, but thanks to a crowd of folks we made quick work of both tasks anyway.
My day started far from DC at 6am, but by 10:30am I had a 17 foot UHaul blocking half of Prospect St in Georgetown. What I had explained would be a small job of moving some furniture and boxes turned out to be a far bigger job of packing lots of miscellaneous junk and moving far more furniture and boxes than I remembered still being left in the house. Whoopsie. The 17 foot UHaul was packed full and we headed off to Pete Warner's garage for storage. Somehow we made it all fit with room to spare. Thanks Pete and Igda, you are lifesavers!
Then it was off to the Palisades to pick up what I had claimed was a small amount of stuff that Laura and I had stashed there. Well, turns out that small amount actually was pretty sizable. We again loaded up the UHaul, and this time to McLean to the Sherwood's house which Laura and I will call home base when we get out of in-patient rehab and return to DC area. Many thanks to you Dave and Karen for your generosity.
Finally, late afternoon dinner at Chicken Out for the merry gang of movers, return the UHaul, and back to DCL by 9:30pm. I'll return to Morgantown early tomorrow morning to be back with Laura. Yowzers, what a day!
Thanks so much to the moving gang who fell hook, line, and sinker for my claims that this would be a quick, simple move: counterclockwise: Richard, Charles, Chris, Haig, Sam, Pete, and of course Chas (not pictured)
