The Move, Day Two

On Wednesday, two of the packers went to Charles' office and packed out his things there; it took them about three hours. The third fellow showed up at our home around 8:30 a.m. All of them left, with our things packed up in ten crates... around 4:30 p.m.

Wow, they were great packers! You never know what you are going to get! They were so professional, friendly, courteous! I have been so sick with this cold and so much coughing. I have not been sleeping well at night. Yesterday (day 2 of move), I just sat on the couch, dozing most of the morning. I was so tired from lack of sleep the night before. I was all wrapped up in a duvet on the couch. From time to time, a packer would be "mother" and make the tea for a tea break. Whoever was "mother" would always ask me if I would like a cup of tea. How considerate is that?!

Charles came home after seeing his office packed with steak and potato pasties. Yummy!

Praise be to God that the stuff is gone! And super praise to God that when the very day (yesterday) when they were packing all our worldly possessions on to the truck... it did not rain.. the sun was shining... it was a lovely day! All days surrounding yesterday have been rainy with lots of wind! Today is like that, in fact! Whew: good news, indeed! Didn't want all our things all wet in the crates.... to stay in the crates... growing mold... for the next 5 months!

More to follow tomorrow!
