Today we got to sleep in a bit till 9am. We had to be down in Newport Beach to pick up a Big Screen TV that my mom bought for Harry and I for our birthdays. It belonged to a neighbor of hers. We arrived at 11am and picked up the TV, we strapped it in and then my mom said we could have her patio set. Which consisted of a table, unbrella and four chairs. She was also giving us four ouside chairs and two small tables. Now the plan was to fit all this in a small pick up truck. Well we had the TV, table, four chairs, umbrella and two small tables. We couldn't get the four other chairs and will have to pick them up later. We tied everything down and made sure it was nice a secure. We made our way home and got to Sunset in West LA on the 405 when we hit a bump and Harry said.. I think the TV shifted and sure enough I look in the mirror and the ropes and blankets were flapping in the wind. We quickly pulled over and tried to re-secure the items but we were close enough to take streets home and after two more stops to secure things we made it home safely. We unloaded everything then went to Target to get a few things for the house, one being a Microwave since we have no stove at the moment and were tired of eating out food. Well $400 dollars and two hours later we left Target and dropped everything off at the house and then had to head to the apartment to finish up there. We managed to bring everything down to the living room and we knew it would take more then one more trip.. so we packed up what we could in the truck and jeep and brought it over ot the new house. I was disappointed that we couldn't get everything, I so want this to be over... but it will happen. By this time it was about 10pm and I still wanted to organize the living room, I really wanted to set up the Big TV and watch an episode of Star Trek The Next Generation. So as tired as I was I moved around boxes and furniture until Harry and I were happy with the set up then we sat down and turned on the big screen TV for the first time and popped in a TNG episode and kicked back. It ended just past 11:30pm and again exhusted I headed to bed.
