Jenny moved

Well, we got a later start. Marcus had hoped that we would have left at 9:00 a.m. but that was wishful thinking. Jenny wasn't fully packed and so we didn't leave until 10:22. Jenny had more paperwork to sign and then got her apartment assignment -- third floor.

I have agreed to Jenny's request and won't disclose the location of the apartment.

Marcus and Diane tried to hurry unloading for two reasons.
1.) It was supposed to and did reach the nineties today
2.) Diane had a 3:00 p.m. eye appointment

We lugged that stuff up the interior stone steps to the apartment, load after load. The hallways smelled of smoke -- yummy.

After it all, we were all hotter than heck, parched, tired. Still our work was not done. Jenny's was just beginning.

Living room full of stuff
Many boxes were unlabeled.

Jessica and Jenny sweaty, hot, wiped after a hurried unloading.

Jessica agreed to this shot when she was cooler and rested.

closet space not a problem here
small kitchen, large pantry -- interestingly gas stove

bedroom full of stuff. The dresser (back left) is a heavy monster.

Later Shelly came by to help. She will have hours of work ahead of her to unpack and sort stuff.

Shelly, Jenny, Jessica on balcony. Marcus was naughty and locked them on the balcony.

We drove off to eat at Taco Hades. The one we visited was clean, neat, with new decor. The staff there was busy hanging sunglasses from the ceiling and taping flip-flops and sandal paper decor on the walls. We then stopped to get gas at Kroger. What I didn't know is that if you have a Kroger card, you get 10 cents off gas there. Diane paid $4.02 to put in gas in the U-Haul.

We got it to U-Haul and by golly, since we had a fudged up truck at first, we returned it, they docked a day's charge+ about halving the cost.

Shelly and Jenny took two more boxes and left. Diane showered and stinking Marcus left with her to the eye doctor. Jessica, I presume left for Zane's after she showered.
