I’m in pain, but it’s a happy day!

I have my own apartment! I’m thrilled! Nearly all of my stuff has been moved. There’s one load left in the truck downstairs, but we just couldn’t unload it last night.

We had an adventure, though. While we were driving the second load over, one by one all of the lugnuts on the rear driver’s tire fell off. THEN THE TIRE FELL OFF. While we were driving. Luckily we were pulling into a gas station when it happened. We’ve decided yesterday was “The Day the Truck Went SPLAT!” It was funny. Made funnier by the fact that we were slap-happy because it was nearly 10pm. At first we were freaked out because the truck had just had a broken axle fixed and we were worried that it had broken again. But then we realized that there were no lugnuts in sight. Tasha and I walked about a mile or so to find all of them, and then her dad put them back on and we didn’t have any more problems.

But that took a nice chunk of time out of our moving schedule. That’s why we didn’t finish last night like we planned.

And today I feel like I’ve been run over by a semi. But I’m in my own apartment! Yay!

  4. Well done on the move. I’m due to make the same escape in a month or so – would be interested to hear any advice you might have on keeping it seamless.

  5. I still have not found all my lugnuts… the wife thinks they might be gone for good!!

    Seriously though…little challenges in life result in the formation of great character. This challenge will make you stronger for sure.
