I have moved

I am back and am online and mostly coherent. The whole process was long and exhausting.

1. Dad arrived at about 7:30 p.m. on July 29th. We ate supper and then he went and stayed in a hotel.

2. On July 30th, we picked up my trailer. I was worried that not everything would fit, but we ended up having a lot of room. We filled the trailer in two hours, then spent the rest of the day cleaning.

3. We left Grande Prairie bright and early on July 31st. The drive was non-eventful for me, but Dad's battery died and he was stuck in Whitecourt for several hours.

4. August 1st- We carried everything out of the trailer and returned it in Edmonton. We then unpacked boxes for the rest of the day. For some reason, I was absolutely exhausted.

5. August 2- More unpacking, followed by a trip to Ikea. Dad hadn't been to Ikea in years and was stunned by the sheer amount of stuff in the store. I pushed him through and ended up buying a bed frame and mattress, a new dresser, four chairs, and a sofa bed. Yes, I spent a lot of money. We assembled the chairs and then started on the bed until we ran into a problem.
