Yesterday we moved into our new apartment.  The day was ‘interesting’.

• Got up at 6:30am to get the UHaul at 7:30.
• There was a line of people at UHaul and only 1 guy working.
• Got the UHaul at around 8:15 and had to return it at 2pm.
• Loaded box after box into the UHal and by 10:30 had most of the big stuff in and the UHaul was full.
• Dumped it all off at the new place, met the neighbors (and I was super sweaty had crazy hair from moving)
• Jen’s friend Anita came over to help unload right when the last box got unloaded, but helped go get the new couch.
• by this time it was almost 1pm and we had to get the UHaul back. 
• Dropped it off, ate at good old McDonalds and talked about how sore we all were from lifting all that stuff.
• I went back to the old apt to clean and get any last stuff out. Realized there were 2 closets we never boxed up.  Crap.
• Took 2 car loads of stuff to the new apartment.
• Took a break from 5 - 7 to eat dinner and not die of exhaustion.
• Got back to the old apartment at 7:15 to find some girl sitting on the stairs along with tons of furniture.. my bullshit alarms started to go off.  I asked if she needed help, she said ‘no’.  As I walked up the stairs at to our apartment, she asked if it was our stuff in there.  I said ‘yep’ we are finishing up cleaning.  ”Well, (our landlords) said you would be out and I could move in today…”, to which I replied, “I haven’t told them that and I paid through the end of the month”.
• Whipped out the phone called the land lords.
• They said they told her she could move in early if we called them and said we were out.  
• Ok the reasons this whole thins is BS are:
  • I’ve never seen this girl, Jen’s never seen this girl. They must have showed out apartment when we were not home and without or authorization. Under law they have to give 24 hours notice to enter the apartment.
  • The management never did a walk through.  They said they would do one after the new tenents moved in.  Umm.. no.  They would have no grounds to determine what, if any, damage was our fault.
  • There were  multiple maintenance requests that were never addressed.  I’m not understanding how they can let a new tenant move in with a drawer that has the front broken off cause the wood is starting to rot.
• The girl said that she would do the cleaning if we’d quick move what was left out and let her dump her stuff off.  What the hell I said.
• We did. We went to our new home.  We went to sleep.

What a day.  This morning I can barley move I’m so sore.
