DIDN'T I SAY I HATE MOVING?

Marhaba,

Finally, I am moved from the old flat to the new flat. Yesterday I called several movers to come over to give me an estimate. The first one to show up said he would do it for 70KD, but we settled on 55 KD. Odd that the previous mover started at 70 and settled on 55. I decided not to wait for the other mover to show up since this one had his crew with him already. So, I gave him the nod and they started grabbing furniture and maybe 2 hours later they had finished. Actually it was worth it because these guys were BIG! I was amazed, one fellow grabbed the refrigerator and carried it down the stairs on his back and then carried it up three flights of stairs on his back. I am so glad this move is OVER!!!
Now to get the boxes open and stuff put away. I still have a few items in the car that need to be moved in, but last night I was just too tired to climb the stairs again. I sure hope the elevator gets finished soon.

I was going to take a day off to get the flat organized, but then decided I would rather not burn a "V" day to do it since I have all the time I need after work. My social calendar here in Kuwait is currently empty, so I have no need to hurry up with anything.

Note to all: "when you move and pack your boxes, be sure to mark the contents on the box."

Granted, I am going to open all the boxes, but it would be easier to stage them in the appropriate area first. I can't believe how much stuff I have accumulated since I have gotten here. I arrived with two suitcase's, now it is the two suitcases and 20 boxes of stuff and I could not believe how much food I had in the fridge and freezer.

My next project will be to get the satellite dish installed and hooked up. The previous building had a central dish system, but this one does not. I bought my own dish and will get it installed eventually, no hurry there since TV is a distraction and currently I have seen everything that is on TV here since they run shows that are several years old. I think they are still playing Stargate SG-1, season one. But, I am glad I can get ALL my channels from one satellite, so setup should be a snap.

well , I guess that's all the news that's fit to print.
