Home Again, Home Again, Jiggety Jig

Despite Thursday's decidedly disappointing turnout, things were looking up on Friday. All I can say is the four ceiling fans that the previous occupants of our apartment installed probably saved our asses on this one. And I gotta hand it to Post for getting the carpet guys and the maintenance man there early in the morning to get things under control for us.

We arrived around noon with a truck chock full of furniture and all of the other junk that we've had in storage for the past year. By that time, the carpet guys had already sprayed mildew killer on the carpet and treated the ventilation system, and the maintenance man had replaced our thermostat (which apparently was broken, and probably part of the reason why the carpet didn't dry properly.) When we walked in, the carpet was dry, there was no scent of mildew to be sniffed, the majority of everything we had moved in the day before had mostly dried out, and it was nice and cool.

We unloaded the truck in record speed with the help of our buddies RS and WG. (Thanks again guys! We could not have done it without you!) Even the humongously heavy and awkward sleeper sofa was moved in the easiest that it has ever been moved. By 3pm, our incredibly large amount of stuff was all inside our apartment, we had returned the moving truck, and we had checked out of our storage unit.

Thus, we were left with this:

When Saturday morning came, we had to balance our priorities: dive into the mounds of stuff everywhere and try to make some sense out of them? Or take off to Athens for the first UGA game of the year? The choice was clear..... and to Athens we went!

So yesterday we actually started unpacking a few things, and certainly made a dent in it, but we still have a long way to go. I'm not worried though. We'll get it all done eventually. In the meantime, we have really been enjoying being back in our old hood. We have already been to two different restaurants we missed while being gone (Mellow Mushroom and Lettuce Souprise You), and today we revisitied our good old friend, Publix!

Aaaahhh...It's good to be back!
