Moving At The Speed Of Gravel
U-haul, U-learn, and
U-die.
As I write this I am not exactly connected to the
internet. It kinda feels like I'm talking to
myself.
The move, which started exactly a week ago, is still the foremost priority in the on-goings of current daily life. My wife, son, and of course, myself have moved in with my in-laws. This is extremely different from moving into an empty house. Stuff needs to be moved in order for stuff to be moved. It's a lot like playing real-life Tetris. I'm currently writing this whilst sitting in a fragment of my former office space. My father-in-law, who I suspect believes that the internet is the devil, is sitting behind me in the living room watching a Jean Claude Van Dame movie. If I turn around in my chair I can see him. Which means he can see my screen. Which means goodbye midget porn.
The move itself was an amazing string of death-defying consequential misfortunate tragedies taken on at the exact moment Mother Nature decided warmth and dryness had overstayed their welcome. After dropping off the first load into our new dwellings, I proceeded to get a 17-foot U-haul truck with 6 massive tires stuck in the front yard. Now the front yard is better than just great....it's RUT-TASTIC!! It looks like we're installing two deep underground pipes up to our front door. In my defense, it DID start raining pretty hard while we were unloading the truck - which sucked on a whole other level. When the truck wasn't stuck, and actually being driven down the road, it had an extra feature of accelerating without actually wanting to accelerate. The accelerator pedal always got stuck and would take up to a full minute to unstick itself. Think about that the next time you see a weaving U-haul truck directly behind you.
