Finally a day without any drama or issues. Bloody miracle is what it is. We did get a moving quote back that while higher than we wanted, is acceptable. Allied came back with $5800. I can handle that. That also includes $40,000 in insurance with a zero deductible. I did some more research into how much it would cost to do this on our own and this is about $1000 more. Is it worth a grand? Yes. I can't physically move this stuff by myself down three flights of stairs. We don't have any friends to help us load all of this. Some of it is just too heavy and clunky for us to try and move. Which means if we were to do it ourselves we would need:
- truck, duh ($2800)
- labor (3 guys @ $80 an hour for 4 hours = $960)
- gas across the country ($600 - $700, remember, car + truck)
- labor on the other end (3 guys @ $50 an hour for 3 hours = $450)
Total = $4910
So yeah, $1000 is worth me not having to do any of this shit on my own and break something or drop something or pull something. I have one more company coming for a quote on Monday but unless he wows me, Allied it is.
Taught my class and finished WAY early. Was able to take a nice nap. Made a chicken casserole for dinner that will give me a good 3-4 days worth of food. Lunches and dinners are now covered. I need a few fresh things at the store today, but not much.
Oh, here's a good one; my check was $40 less than normal. Why? Turns out in July OR instituted a Transit Tax that they were supposed to be taking out of each check for about $5.50. They missed all of 3rd quarter so they took it out in one shot. I got hit for basically four months at once. Lovely. Fucking gub'ment.
Played lego games last night. DC Villains. Is fun. I like. That's the big plan for today. I have to do a little light cleaning but otherwise, video gaming it is. B is headed to the lake this morning and won't be back until Monday. No drama coming from there.
I need a good quiet weekend.
