Moving day.

First, a clarification. David, my trainer, just bought me dinner as a thank you for being his student since this was my last session. Plus he had to go back and do some work at one of his many other jobs, so he had to get something to eat anyway. I had to put in the disclaimer because of harassment from my sister and Megan.

Today was the day we unpacked the truck at my sister’s new house. At first I was annoyed that my brother-in-law wasn’t doing anything, but I found out he was sick as a dog. He was in a daze, just kind of stumbling around. On the other hand, their dog seemed fine, quiet and well behaved. I’m not sure there’s much difference between owning a basenji and a cat, however.

We got the truck and trailer unloaded fairly quickly and were finished about 1:00PM. After lunch I volunteered my friend Greg to help buy the electrical outlets, etc, for my sister’s office. The guy cutting the holes in the wall for the outlets kept sending me back to the hardware store because the outlet box was the “wrong volume.” What he meant was that it wasn’t tall enough for the hole he cut. Unfortunately, after being sent back to different stores for different brands of boxes, he found out that HE had the oddball sized box, and all the different things I was buying were the same size.

In any case, Peter and Mariko are now in their house full of boxes and I think anyone normal could be unpacked in a week or so. My nutty sister will probably do it in two or three days.
