I wanted a 26 ft U-Haul truck for the move, with a tow dolly. That was my goal. 1900 dollars and I could get it. Finally saved enough money. My wife gets dream to rent a smaller truck. So I put a reserve on a 20 footer as well as the 26 ft one. The 20 footer was 200 cheaper. A week before the move, U-Haul calls, they say I can have the 26 footer for the price of the 20 footer. Ok... I say, thanks. Load up on Sunday and take off late afternoon on Monday. My wife can't take the movement of the truck so we went to U-Haul and turned in the truck for 2 pods. It took me 3 days in 85 degree heat to pack each one. I did all the lifting. So I didn't heed the dream and I paid the hefty price.
A word on stuff. In hindsight. I would do a way better job in controlling my gathering of stuff. It catches up with you. Go over your stuff and do some serious evaluating. I gave myself an F in this department. Better organizing was in order. I didn't do it. And it bit me.
The guy at U-Haul said it was unusual that the bosses were bending over backwards in helping in our quest to get the pods swapped in. He couldn't get over it. Says this has never happened before. I attributed it to divine spirit looking out for us. The pods arrived at their destination in a rain storm and I got them unloaded, in the next 2 days. Fitting the stuff into a smaller place is taking 2 weeks. With all this work, falling asleep is no problem.
The next quest is finding a job.
