First load done

naivefreedom got here around noon and we went and picked up the U-Haul.

A 17-footer isn't nearly as hard to drive as I thought.

We collected a marvelous desk for me from a Freecycler -- a solid oak rolltop built AS a computer desk. It's gorgeous. It has tons of beautiful cubbyholes, but it's also got things like cord holes, and a vented space for a CPU tower which I won't need because I have a Mac mini, and CD storage, and a keyboard tray -- it's amazing. It's also very heavy. But naivefreedom and I managed it pretty well.

I emptied out the last of the green dresser and some other things.

I also posted about a billion things to Freecycle.

And I brought Candy-O's title to Claude so he could handle the sale.

We picked up melovechocolate from her theater camp. Then over to shadowflyer's to drop off stuff.

Then to the mall to collect pocketpolina from her job so she could help me pack.

We loaded up the truck with big pieces of furniture. The huge heavy entertainment center. melovechocolate's dressers. My file cabinet. The kitchen table and chairs.

We got it to the point where it really was a truckload, so we took it over and unloaded it.

We are mighty!

We are also really tired.

And there's still the beds and all of eternaleponine's things to do tomorrow, but her family is coming to help her with those.

But the living room is almost sorta looking like a living room now.

G'night.

I have very fond memories of driving a big ass U-Haul with a frakkin stick shift from Oakland into San Francisco helping my best (gay) friend move. I'm driving this big ass truck on 101 and up Church street in the Castro with these three gay guys in the thing who Wouldn't Touch It.

It was totally hysterical. Glad you made so much progress today!

Holy shit! Serious desk envy here! :) Good luck on the move.

Thanks! So far it's going pretty well, and nobody's killed each other yet.

As for the desk, I guess I had a serious accumulation of Freecycle karma, 'cause I got LUCKY.
