Yesterday pretty much wiped me out. I went to bed at around dawn on Saturday (due in large part to the fact that I got up at around 3 pm on Saturday :lol), and knew I wouldn't be able to sleep in too late on Sunday because Jon was going to be coming by with his bigscreen HDTV for me. However, at about quarter to nine (in the AM) Jon called me and told me the guy who was supposed to help him pack up his stuff and move it into his storage facility was passed out drunk, and his girlfriend couldn't wake him up. Since he said everyone else he knew was out of town for Thanksgiving, he asked if I could help him out. Now obviously waking up before 9 on a Sunday to move a bunch of furniture is not really something I wanted to do, but it would have been a really shitty thing to do to not help Jon out (I've had friends leave me to move all my stuff by myself before, and it's a very shitty thing to have happen to you). So I dragged myself out of bed, stopped at the local donut place for a croissant and some coffee, and headed down to Jon's place in Manhattan Beach.

When I got there, we surveyed his place and he had quite a bit of stuff to move, and he had rented a moving van so we could pack it all in. We spent the next couple hours loading up the van, then we drove it to the public storage place and spent about an hour unloading it all. Then we went back to my place and dropped off the TV (which was rather humorous, because as we were wheeling it in, some guy standing by joking said to us "yeah, my apartment is the one around the back here." :lol). Anyway, we moved it in, and Jon got going so I could go to my Dad's house for dinner and a movie with my Dad and sister.

I have to say, my apartment is much MUCH messier right now than it ever has been. I'm finally going to have to re-arrange a lot of my apartment just to make room for all the stuff I am storing for Jon, and to make room for his TV. I've already stubbed my toes a number of times walking around and crashing into stuff that I'm not used to having sitting on the floor. I'm probably going to spend all week after work moving everything around and cleaning up, and I'm sure I'm gonna be even more wiped out as that goes on, but in the end it should be well worth it on Saturday when the cable company shows up to install a high definition cable box :grin
