I am typing this from our hotel room. We got into Raleigh at 7am yesterday we checked into the hotel then got 4 hours of sleep and headed to the storage place to unload the truck. We just got back and hubby crashed. He unloaded it all. I was too sick to help.
We had a few things happen that I didn't expect. The biggest was our landlord of 7 years who we thought was good friends with blew up at hubby and called him some not so nice names. It was so out of character I am still wondering what happened. I am really worried about this as you know a good landlord reference is very important.
He said a week ago we was A1 tenants and he would be happy to give us good reference now I don't know what is going to happen.
Seeing it rained all day Thursday we didn't leave till 1AM for Raleigh and the only good thing about that was it was really cool weather for the cats to travel. My youngest took it better than I thought. She was freaked out at first but 3 hours in she went to sleep however my oldest who usually loves to travel and has done this three times freaked out and meowed half the way. I forgot she is afraid of the dark so I had to hold a a mini flashlight the whole 6 hours to keep her calm. It worked half the time. Once they got into the room it took them only a few hours to make it their own. I may have to fight for bedspace. lol
So I have to get up at 9 and then we return the truck and probably will want to sleep more but we are so limited on apartment hunting time. the hotel is bare bones and very old. It seems to be clean just well yucky looking but for $50 a night with no pet rent in an good area I think it's the best we could do. At least the internet seems fast. lol.
Two really nice things that happen was our neighbor the one who use to play loud music but he got a new TV Christmas and so it was bliss after a year of having to endure it. Anyways he brought us over some Churros he made and a 2 litter of ice cold soda with cups while we move. It was so nice of him it made me cry. I am going to miss him.
The next thing is the storage place people have been so really nice. They let us park the truck there for free and they even took hubby to get some food while we was unloading. We got a really good deal on the unit too.
Oh the roads here are crazy! They are not marked well at all and I am firing Google maps for getting us lost 4 times today.
The last time hubby had a meltdown which I allowed as he has had very little sleep, lost a good friend and had to do almost all the physical lifting, cleaning and unloading. I just packed and organized and sorted.
Does anyone here know a good maps app that makes sense? Google is seriously confused.
