The day was misty and overall dreary. I had a co-worker who lives near where I used to drive me from work and drop me off to pick the moving truck up, leaving my truck at the office as I figured I could dive the moving truck to my new place, unload, drop it off then uber back to my work (my new place is so much closer to my job).
I get the truck and head to what is now my Exes house to load up.... no one would be there I was told. I loaded the truck by myself with a light mist/rain happening. I have to admit since the last time I did a move like this (by myself) I have gotten a bit older and it was a little harder than I remembered....course it may be me being a little more out of shape as well.
I finished late evening and originally I was going to sleep there and get up early and head out but after some pretty nasty communication from my ex I decided I would drive the moving truck back to my work and could just park there and sleep. I left my house key and shut the garage door for the last time and hit the road.
I made it to the office and parked the truck. I ended up sleeping in my chair after grabbing a quick shower in the Executive bathroom (ummm no folks I am not an executive lol). I emailed her that night and asked if she could pick me up from my new apartment in the morning on her way to work (it is close to the way she goes into work), thought I could take my Truck up and park it in front of my garage with just a note that I was moving in (just in case as I did not have the parking pass yet).
That ended up being a very long night...even being as tired as I was I was also pretty excited. The morning light came and I hopped in my truck and headed to the apartment (worse case if she couldn't pick me up I could just Uber back to the office and get the moving truck...... She was able so was pretty cool riding to the office together and getting to chat and listen to music like that.
She made a comment about "Do you want any help unloading"..... I thought she was joking but nope she wasn't.... so I went back up to get the keys and finish the paper work and all and she was going to meet me there a little later.
I had just started unloading boxes from the moving truck when she made it back.... I will not bore you all with the play by play but it was a very fun time. I had never done a move with anyone like that before and there was a good amount of laughing....mainly about me man handling a dresser or something lol. Once we got things in and roughly in place (i.e. essentials unpacked) we sat on the front porch (I am on the first floor and have an actual front door and small porch) for the first time (first of many evenings) and drank a few beers.
She pointed out that just adjacent and in direct view from where we were sitting was where she used to sit a decade before when she lived there..... just another one of those little things...while I knew she lived there as she gave me the referral when I went to see the apartment I had no idea where in the place she had been.....
All in all it was an absolutely amazing day. The mattress and living room furniture were to be delivered the next day...and she was taking the day off to just spend together. This would be another first for us as well.... her leaving at the end of the evening....
Once she left she had a very rough evening with her spouse... and ended up getting in her own head a lot (think you deserve better type things). this was the first time we had a time that we were not on the same page and it was tough, but we kept communicating through it and by the end of the evening the realization that we could simply talk and work things out (you know like normal people who love each other should be able to do)....... yet another defining moment in this relationship we were building....and in my opinion and huge step in really defining the "us" in this and how we would deal with things....very different than I had ever experienced before.... and she would later say similar, in the past we both would have simply shut our mouths and just let it be that..... and we both agree the way we handled it was very different but felt very very good.....
Friday came and she came over in the morning...we spent a hour or so unpacking more stuff (I had most things unpacked from the night before)...and the furniture arrived....we had a couch to sit on....and a bed.....
Yes to what you all are thinking....I mean come on lol....so I will leave this post with a comment made by her that day "Your bed is FUCKED!"........
When she reads this she will roll her eyes...really laugh out loud....and if she reads it with me in eye sight...yup I will get a look
