So we, actually I wake up bright and early in the hotel. Brian has to work at 8:30. I walk over to the Safeway and grab some bananas, milk, and some muffins for breakfast. Everyone quickly eats some food, showers and we all head over to our house. The cats have spent the night alone in the house and they are still scared. Pandora is hiding underneath a quilt and Akasha is hiding in the litter box. Both cats have not touched their food or water or used the litter box. It’s 8:00 and Brian and I both hope the movers arrive soon. We hear the familiar beeping of the moving van and look outside the window. Hooray, they have arrived with our stuff. Brian quickly chit-chat’s with the movers and he’s off to work. The movers are quick and start bringing in all of our furniture. Most of the boxes have been labeled by the packers as to which room everything belongs. They are really fast and only stop to ask where which way we would like our beds and dressers placed. They make fast work putting together bed frames and stop for a quick break at 9:30ish. Brian walks up the stairs and says that his big boss came to welcome him to his new job and let him leave the office to deal with the movers. That was really nice! The movers are almost done and are hoping to catch the noon ferry, whoops someone left the lights on in the moving van. As they call BCAA to come and help them we make our way out to get some garbage bags and cleaning supplies. Most of our items have been left in boxes except for our clothes. They do provide an unpack service but they just place everything on the floor and do not put items away. The only reason for the unpack is so that the boxes and packing paper can be taken away by the movers. I don’t really care for them to unpack and I understand their wanting to catch the noon ferry, hopefully they were successful. It’s almost noon so Brian decides there’s no point in going back to work since it’s almost lunchtime. We get back to the house with cleaning supplies and garbage bags and get to work. Brian’s boss shows up at the house and tells Brian that he put up a sign saying that Brian will return at 2:30; Brian’s boss is off to catch the ferry and head back to Victoria. Wow, what a nice boss! So Brian, Brady and I steadily unpack boxes. Brady does an amazing job of putting his room together and is the first person to unpack all their items. We are running out of storage space and still have not found those crib brackets that we need to put Jorja’s crib together. Brady starts flattening boxes and Brian and Brady start to move our storage items into the shed outside. I hope they will be okay. The shed is brand new and has never been used but I am worried that Jorja’s baby items will get moldy. We may have to move them into the crawl space when it get’s wetter and colder outside. The new cordless phone I bought has now been charging for 8 hours. I pick it up and there is no dial tone. Uggghhhh. I knew that my Telus experience was too good to be true. I add some more minutes to my pay as you go cell phone and leave a message for Customer Service Representative Laurie. My advice to anyone dealing with Telus. If you ever get someone from customer service who speaks perfect English ask them for their voicemail number. It will save you a ton of time and you will not have to listen to “Captain of Her Heart” or “White Flag” for the millionth time even if you like both songs like I once did. Laurie calls me back and I tell her of the situation. She informs me that everything should be running fine…….oh wait, it looks like there used to be 2 different lines in that house she tells me. So she transfers me to some technician who schedules me an appointment for Monday. Great no phone or internet for 4 more days.
