Hi y'all.
I'm writing from the public computer at the public library, and the little ticking clock tells me I only have a few minutes left, so I'll be brief. (Or I'll intend to anyway, as you know I'm notoriously long-winded...)
We did indeed make it to Ohio in several large pieces, although about half-way through Indiana I wasn't so sure.
I want to give a huge, I mean HUGE shout out to one Ms. Lisa F. She came over and helped us load the truck--by which I mean did most of the loading herself. Rob and I would still be loading the god-forsaken truck if it weren't for her. She even politely neglected to mention that I was being Extra Super Whiny And Bitchy about the whole thing.
She is a goddess, and I have never had a better friend. Ever.
Our first night in the new place, I decided to take a bath. As I was soaking, Mr. Ameliabee noticed some splashy sounds coming from the first floor. Indeed, there was a waterfall coming from the ceiling, into the dining room, and continuing through that floor into the basement.
Big mess. I still don't know what the heck happened--we'd taken several showers and that was fine. The landlord is coming over to have a look this afternoon. In the meantime a big chunk of the ceiling fell down. All of this narrowly missed our computer, Mr. Ameliabee's books and our spiffy new sideboard. Thank God.
I asked Jesus what the heck was going on, and if this means the move was a big mistake. He said he needed to ask his Dad, so who knows?
But, other than floods and collapsing ceilings things are so far so good. I'm hoping to have our internet hooked up by week's end so more photos will be forthcoming.
Happy Labor Day 2023!
