I helped my nephew move to Ohio today. His father was working, all of his buddies had other plans (it was really short notice, so that part's probably true. *g*) So my SIL and I were it.
Idiot did most of his packing today. We were supposed to leave at noon. Then it was two. It was nearly three pm by the time we hit the road. Oh! And the night before, I pointed out that we could put things in my car if there wasn't room for everything in the truck. "I don't have that much stuff," he sez, dismissively.
Yeah. My car was stuffed full.
His mom and I just got home around 11 pm. *cries* I am going to hurt so bad tomorrow, and Monday will probably be worse. :-(
I did very little of the loading and unloading of the U-Haul truck. My bad knee goes out even when I'm not hauling boxes and things around. I really only helped with the treadmill, which was hard enough with the three of us. They actually thought they could do it by themselves. *rolls eyes*
When we got to his new home in Celina, Ohio, I mostly unpacked boxes while they did the unloading.
So: Ohio. I've heard of drive-through liquor stores; hadn't ever seen them in the flesh before. Wacky.
But nephew, doing some shopping at WalMart, thought he could pick himself up some Jim Beam there. Only to discover that they only sold diluted liquor. This... this... words fail me.
What's up with that? *looks at Mabi*
(and the reason I devoted myself to unpacking boxes was so that I could bring them back home, since I will be needing them myself, when I move to Wisconsin to take care of Dad by the end of September if not sooner. Oy. *flails*)
