Moving the furniture

Saturday

I had a terrible night. First I had trouble getting to sleep, then I got up to use the bathroom and RLS set in. Usually it only lasts 20 minutes or so, but this time it didn't stop. I remember how earlier I gave Michele calcium and she was asleep later. So I got up to take some. When that didn't work, I put on the red therapy light and read a book for quite some time. Eventually I dozed off with the book, so then I went to bed.

I got up before 9. I did stuff in the kitchen. I threw towels in the dryer. I unwrapped the accordion to make sure it wasn't molding. The power went out for a short while and when it came back, the internet did not. So I jotted notes for my blog.

Michele came out asking for something to help John breathe. I would have looked it up, but the internet was still down. I found some shower steamers and gave him one with menthol in it. Then I went back to jotting notes. Kurt texted me with a rotation problem. I looked up a question about Kings Quest.

John and Michele went to 612 to pack and move boxes. Chris was going to give me a massage, but we ended up having a heated discussion. He took a shower and went to help John and Michele. I ate breakfast, then headed in the same direction. But at that time, they came back to take a break.

Jamie met me at 629. Chris told us his plan. She brought her truck and trailer around. I packed some kitchen things in boxes and went to 612. While I unpacked boxes and cleaned up newspapers, Jamie and Chris loaded furniture and brought it to 612. I wiped the furniture down because they had been snowed on. He and she went back for another load.

John and Michele came back. John helped Chris while Michele and I moved boxes around to make more room. We cleared space for the diningroom table. We also cleared space in the livingroom. We unpacked some things. She showed me her leftover fabric and gave me a bunch of it.

When the furniture had been moved, we thanked Jamie and she went home. We assembled the diningroom table and the master bed. We agreed it was time to go home. I drove by 629 to make sure it was closed, then to the post office for mail. I still beat John and Michele getting home, but could not park because Chris was shoveling the driveway. When he finished my side, I parked and went in. John parked when Chris finished the other side.

Each made his own supper. I made more breakfast mix, then ate my supper while reading e-mail. Chris and Michele watched a movie. I worked on my blog. Chris and I watched one episode of Atlantis. He went to bed and I stayed up to read a book by the red light of the therapy lamp. After I dozed off twice, I went to bed.
