Tonight Doug and I drove over to the new house. We packed and did things all day, and it got to be late and we almost didn't go. But. We knew we had to. We didn't leave until almost 4pm (big mistake, it took 2 hours to get there!). We took both cars, full of small boxes, plants, and clothes, and winter coats, etc etc etc.
And we also took Toffee.
They beat me there, and Doug was in the back yard with her as she ran around sniffing All The Things. It was 6pm and I already wanted to turn around and drive back.
Doug was hungry, but I wasn't. I was more anxious about getting back before dark. He offered to unpack the cars if I went to a sub shop he saw but could not remember the name of. "It's by the burger king. I think it starts with an A?"
(
Anthony's Pizza for the record. Anthony's. They didn't come up in a google search of Pizza Near Me, so getting in the car and going over where Doug said he'd seen them was the way to find them. And he was right).
He unpacked the mini, and I took it over to where he thought he remembered seeing a pizza place being, and he was right. I got a menu, brought it home, bookmarked the website on my phone for future reference.
I got us subs, chicken parm and meatball, and we each had a half of one. After I ordered I realized they had combos with onion rings. A guy sitting in the restaurant was chowing down on rings and fries with his sub, and I thought ..... damn I'm full of regret looking at those rings!
I didn't realize I was as hungry as I was, but I've been a little distracted-ish.
The subs were very good. And we'll try the pizza next, I'm sure. Maybe we are officially out of Pizza Jail by moving to Washington County? More research is needed but it feels like a win with these here subs!
The lady behind the counter was sweet. She welcomed me to town, and said she'd been there five years but has worked for Anthony's for 19, starting off at another location in West Virginia.
After I got the subs, the other car was completely unloaded. Doug told me while he was unpacking the car Toffee figured out how to open the back gate and she got out, but, she came right to the front porch and waited for him. Thank God. I really can't with that dog sometimes.
Bungee Cords. I think they are still in the basement. Note: get them.
We sat out on the patio and ate the subs, she ran around and came over to get bread from me. Doug said she really loved running up and down the stairs, followed him around like she was attached to his ass.
Welcome to your new house, babe. So glad we got to introduce you!
Right after we ate, I told him I wanted to hit the road because I have a hard time seeing in the dark. The highway is okay, but once I get off the highway to get home, that's when it becomes a challenge. So we packed it in around 7:30, and we were home at 8:45. Quick trip back.
It is 11:15pm, Doug and Toffee are in bed, I'm wide awake. I will set an alarm for 6am. Truck gets here between 9 and 9:30, and we'll hit the ground running. Our vacuum has not been running well so I want to test it one more time and see if I can get it to behave. If not, it goes to the curb. Tomorrow is Trash Day. So fuck you, I've had you 10 years and if you don't want to work, I'm alright with that. Goodbye.
In the morning, one of us has to go to Target to see about getting Geoff an air mattress. We still haven't done that. We have two, already, in our lives. One is at my cousin's in Richmond, so he can have his buddies over and they have something to sleep on, and the other is at his aunt's, and she broke it.
"I'll be sure to give it back to you," she said afte she told him she broke it.
No. Go right ahead, throw it out. You broke it. We do not want it back, thank you. Good lord.
I also want to pull a cooler out of the shed, and get a bag of ice, some water bottles, Gatorade, and make sure it is right where the movers can just grab and gulp. I may also go to Dunks and get some munchkins and a box of joe.
Also, I took my cleaning supplies up to the new house, but because we left I didn't get to clean, and, I left everything there. So. Spray cleaner, mr. clean magic erasers, paper towel, etc. Damn.
I should go to bed or at least pull everything out of the guest room closet? at 11:30pm?
Maybe another glass of wine and try to go to sleep, okay? Okay. No picture today, but Digits Below!
