Too Efficient

There are times when people around you are just too efficient. When we moved we shipped all our belongings in an ocean freight carrier. They brought the container to the house and we loaded it up, and then sent a semi to pick it up and carry it to Seattle to be put onboard ship.

It was scheduled to arrive to us sometime in mid-December, which was okay since we have minimal stuff we need and could get by. We had planned a nice Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends and a quiet weekend with Christy having Thursday and Friday off.

Except the container arrived today - three weeks early - and we have three days to get it unloaded before they come to pick it back up.

So much for a quiet holiday.

Oh, and we are in the process of swapping apartments - not a big deal with just our clothes and some blow-up mattresses. We were scheduled to move in a couple of weeks (the new place is bigger so the five of us won't be stepping on each other), but now I am asking the owners if we can unload our container into the garage of the new place until we can move. All-in-all, it looks like a really busy holiday.

P.S. (@ 1644) - Just found out our new apartment isn't going to be ready until Tuesday, so we can't unload into that garage, but also found out we don't incur storage fees as long as we call for pickup by 3:00 p.m. on Thursday, 12/4 - Thank you, Jesus!!!!!!
