I managed to get everything packed and the most of the apartment cleaned up by about lunch. When I stepped out to get some lunch the rain was still coming down. I was really starting to get irate over having to wait because of it. During lunch I decided that the cost to rent a trailer was worth the I would be saving, and spent the money on one. It's not a matter of not being able to afford it so much as I hate breaking the discipline to not spend after having done so well. All this for $44. I know it's not that much, and it's not the end of the world. And maybe I'm being a little too hard on myself. However when I start full-timing, and living without a steady income it might limit something I need or want to do.
The sun decided to come out while the trailer was being hooked up to my truck. This wasn't a loss in any way though. It was when I was loading everything that I realized I had more stuff than space to carry it all. I would've had to have made two trips with the truck instead of one as I'd originally thought. About two hours later I arrived at the new home where it started to pour again. I'm really glad I spent the money now!
The roommate helped me unload everything in record time despite having to carry it all up two flights of stairs. The beagle got settled in and promptly passed out under the dining table waking up only after we brought back some Indian take out.
All in all today turned out to be a great one for me.
Mmmmm, Indian. Trying to catch up with the status of your move. God bless that beagle.
