Today I was going to butcher another meat chicken. The 5th one so far. Well that got interrupted. The UPS guy brought my package from
@Birdielee !! The elderberry plants even have a little bit of new growth on them!! Everything was still moist so I have hope for everything! It took 5 days for them to arrive.
Then I was back to the butchering, got interrupted again. This time it was to go meet the moving company at the storage unit. Today was the day they were moving all my Mom's stuff out of her apartment. I wasn't allowed to be there. (nor was she). We also did not get to pick which moving company we used.
I will say it was NOT a good experience.
When they opened the back of the truck her paper shredder fell out and popped apart.
It got a little scuffed up but not broken. Then a box of stuff fell off the 4 coaster they were using to move it. The box tipped over but the guy caught it before it spilled. I don't know what all was in the big box they were using to move various items. So I don't know if anything broke or not. Then a big piece of furniture ( kind of a book shelf storage thing) fell off the dolly and would have hit me except they had moved that box from earlier over to the side so the item fell on that and the 2nd guy came running out of the building just then and grabbed the front end. Amazingly it only had a couple of thin slivers of wood off the back. Next,one of the guys was moving a 4 drawer wooden file cabinet (that they had not emptied
) and the drawers kept coming open as the guy was trying to get it down the ramp. I went around and kept shutting the drawers so they wouldn't spill every where.
They had not packaged or wrapped any of her framed paintings or wrapped or packaged the TV's or the mattress. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.
I did call the director of the facility to let her know in detail how unhappy I was! They (the movers) never even apologized or express any kind of concern or anything.
I also insisted that the director have someone FaceTime me so I could do a virtual walk through of the apartment to make sure they got everything. They overlooked a cabinet in the kitchen.
So the guy that was FaceTiming with me is going to wrap and package everything that they forgot and I will drive up there tomorrow or Thursday to pick it up.
And to think, I still have to pay them for their work.
When I got home I told my husband I was going out for dinner. Did he want to come? (Imagine that in a mad pissed off tone). He did want to come, so we went out to eat and now I am back home and have to get that meat chicken out of the refrigerator because I had killed it but didn't have time to do anything else with it.
We got 2 big rain storms today.
Tomorrow I am supposed to go finish helping my friend take down her greenhouse. I hope the rain holds off until we are done!!
My first yellow squash shriveled up and died. Now I have another one. I hope this one is able to get big enough to eat. Lots of green tomatoes, can't wait for them to ripen!!
What's the app you use? Nice that your neighbor is so cool about the roosters, that makes life so much less stressful I bet.
