My day of hell yesterday....
My day began at 5 am when I got up to take my exam. Took the 630 am train to the university. Exam was really hard
and when I was done my DH picked me up. Got home around 10 and had an egg sandwich. Around 12 we drove into the city because we had to help my DH's grandma pack up to move to a nursing home. Pack up 40 yrs of stuff.
She has to be out of the apt by March 31 and kept saying 'oh leave that to the side, we'll figure it out later'. I had to gently tell here there really was no later...it was sad.
She gave my DH and I an antique desk and round table (I'll post pics later). Turns out they wont fit into our Jeep. We had to rent a u-haul. So after lets see, 7 hours of moving (I have done more moving in the past 3 years than I ever thought I would), my DH and his sister drove her to the nursing home with some stuff while I waited in the u-haul. It is now 8 pm and I have been up since 5 and havent eaten since 10am.
We now have to drive the u-haul and the Jeep back to NJ. My DH drives the u-haul and I drive the Jeep (which I have only driven once before and it is brand new) through downtown manhattan traffic at night. I can't even tell you how high my blood pressure must have been
We finally get into NJ and my DH gets off at the wrong exit even though he has driven home many times. I am following him and he stops short and I almost smack into the back of the u-haul. Thank g-d I didn't.Finally find our exit, drive through the mountains in the pitch black, and arrive at our house at 10pm. My SIL's friend comes by to help us unload and we have pizza around 10:30. I crash into bed around 12:30, having been up for about 19 hours. Whew
I think that was one of the worst days EVER. Sorry had to vent!!!
