And Its Done

The plan was to start moving out last Monday. But, seeing as how dad was out on the road we couldn't exactly move anything without a truck and/or trailer. So, we started packing things. Wednesday, we planned to go forth and gather the Blue Beast for the purpose of moving our stuff to the storage locker and the remainder of things back to the Homestead. Papa-san didn't license the Blue Beast Wednesday when he was in town but through some finagling it got licensed before the SNB office closed anyways. We took the trip yonder to gather the Blue Beast but alas, after leaving the Homestead a mere five minutes down the road the u-joint decided to break. Turn back, return the Blue Beast and drive back to the apartment.

Papa-san arrived in the morn with the Work Truck and the Trailer to move things to the locker and the large furniture bits to the Homestead. Thus passed Thursday.

Friday was uneventful. It snowed, it rained, we stayed put.

Saturday we gathered the now mended Blue Beast and headed thither to the apartment to finish with the moving of things. We finished the packing and stashed the last of the items in the locker, or so we thought. Passed the night away at the apartment, our last evening there.

At new light we packed away our belongings into the Blue Beast and were dismayed to discover that the Blue Beast was full and there was still a large pile of things to leave the apartment. In the process of packing the Blue Beast, I was very silly and missed a stair, resulting in a rather painful twisted ankle. We drove yonder to the Homestead, unpacked, and slept.

Monday, our very last deadline of a day to remove ourselves from the apartment we headed thither to the apartment once more with the Blue Beast to gather the very lastest of last of things destined for the Homestead. We discovered that there were a few measly things to go in the storage locker, and we placed them thus. Filled up the Blue Beast, performed the required walk-through, returned our keys and gave up all ownership of the apartment. And so we arrive at the present day.

In other news, I purchased a new pay-go SIM for my stay in Alberta. The last four digits of the number are 1701.
