amanda_loddenThis morning, I asked John and Jacob to move a bookshelf. With my back still aching and the amount of stuff yet to be cleaned up/cleaned out/sorted, I had given up on the idea of moving all the big furniture into the new bedroom, but I was hoping to get at least one and maybe even two of the bookcases moved, so that I could slowly move the books that were piled on the floor into proper homes and get them out of the way.
John, however, had not given up on the idea of moving the furniture ("I didn't want to stay partially-moved forever, and I wanted to do it while Jacob was here to help lift"), and now the dresser, chest of drawers, two bookcases, television and DVD player, vanity, and bed are safely in their new home in the new bedroom.
This gives me a full two weeks to finish up moving the littler stuff in the old bedroom (some of which goes in places other than the new bedroom), strip the wallpaper, and paint before I fly off to help CJ drive a truck across the country and move into the old bedroom. Even with back issues slowing me down, two weeks should be plenty of time.
John is my hero. Jacob is pretty awesome, too. And I told him that I owe him an Xbox game, because he's been helping move furniture around for weeks now without complaint.
