It occurs to me that perhaps they will let us pick up the key today since we are renting the truck at 8am tomorrow and their office will not yet be open. Besides, as usual, I find my several worlds colliding at the most inopportune times. I have to have lab work done in the early morning (a fasting bloodwork) - and I can't put it off because it has to be done before the PET test which is Tuesday. And I have to pay a few bills that I have deferred until the last possible moment, beyond which one only goes with dire consequences.
So while Kiel and Drew pack the truck, I need to run errands. Who has time to pick up a key? I call the complex, the weekend person tells me I can come right away and get the key. We drive over - the boys obviously excited. Silly me, I honestly thought we would get the key, take a quick look at the orientation of the space (compared with the model), then go home and wait for tomorrow. Not so!
While we did wander through the rooms (fresh paint smell overwhelming) and open a few windows, we didn't stay long. Kiel and Drew were hot to start taking things over right away. Oy! I never have energy in the evening. What are they thinking??!! They don't care. They happily load boxes into my little Malibu and head over by themselves. I am delighted that they don't seem to notice that I stay in the old place, barely able to sit down after their whirlwind departure.
After two very full trips, their zeal has cooled, and they are content to let the rest wait for the truck tomorrow. Whew! Time for movie and ice cream. Tomorrow is another day. I remember being young and filled with get-up-and-go. Maybe tomorrow I will find some myself.
