Empty

[prosodic]

On my way to bed (on the air mattress)...it's been a long day. The movers showed up at 8:15 and were gone by noon...leaving us alone in an empty house. I vacuumed up all the dust that had accumulated under the furniture for the past 2 years and cleaned up the bits of tape and cardboard left behind by the movers.

We have no chairs to sit on.

No bed.

My back aches horribly from all the standing I've been doing since yesterday.

All we basically have is a laptop and some dishes. When we had dinner this evening (leftover tacos), I spread an old blanket over the living room floor. The blanket is being discarded anyway. So it's like we're having a picnic in our living room.

We're packed for our trip tomorrow. Amsterdam tomorrow night. Then Seattle on Sunday by way of Houston and Dallas...22 hours of travel time. Really not looking forward to it.

Jetlag be damned...we start bright and early on Monday morning.

why didn't you stay in a hotel or in the lodging at GK?! No reason for you to sleep on an air mattress! It should have been covered, right?

I think they'll only cover us when we actually move out of the house...am I wrong about this? I am pretty sure that's what Lance told me.

We have one more night on air mattresses before we get our loaner furniture from Schinnen. We'll be back in town on Tuesday.
