Moving Day

[BobN]

I know, you're thinking, "Moving Day??  After bragging about living at the shore for almost three years, you're getting out of Dodge?"

Not a chance.  I live at the beach in New Hampshire.  Where could I go that's better than that?

No, see, we're having our dialysis area painted starting tomorrow, so we had to move our dialysis operation to its temporary home in our basement. 

Now, let me just say that if someone had filmed this mini-pilgrimage, it would have to carry the disclaimer, "Don't try this at home."

I'm not a big one for catch phrases, and you know I don't like swearing in my posts, so I would best describe the whole process as a saying that rhymes with "Duster Duck."

The highlight of which was getting the cycler downstairs.  The bleeding thing feels like it weighs about a thousand pounds. 

My house has an elevator, but here's the catch:  it doesn't go to the basement.

So, being the inventive little devils that we are, we loaded the cycler onto a rolling chair and wheeled it over to the elevator on the second floor and sent it down to one.

Easy so far. 

But it's a really good thing nobody was watching the two of us carry it the rest of the way down to its new home.

It would have been an education in newly invented swearwords, hernia sounds, and various plays on the phrase, "ooh my aching back."

But a move like this is like a hot dog, if you like the end product, you should never watch it being made.

Anyway, as of now, we're ready to rock and ready to roll in our new dialysis center.

I will vote for moving back to within Puget Sound.  I don't my Wife will agree.

The is one major problem with a 'temporary' move.  You are going to move back!

I vote you stay where you are.  Skip that awkwardness and just stay down there.

I am wondering if I can get 'her' to drink a few loaded Margarita's, and move everything before she wakes up.

Enjoy your new set-up, while you can, you do know it is only temporary, right?

And are you kept busy digging a hole to extend that elevator down?

I hate that commercial that says "A body in motion STAYS in motion". Let's hope you chose the right shade of paint so there won't be any do-overs.

[BobN]

Charlie, we're in complete denial about having to reverse the process in a few days.  We plan on remaining in ignorant bliss until the room is almost done.  (Love the Puget Sound.  Think you should carry out your plan!)

PT, even if we hate the color, we won't be doing this again.  We'll find a way to love it!

[Deanne]

Um...... You aren't painting it yourself, are you? I've read your other blog stories.


Need I say more?

 

[BobN]

Deanne, I suggested that last week.  The wife stopped laughing this morning.

[Charlie B53]

I got a BIG bottle of Ta-Kill-Ya hidden in the closet.   Just need an equally large bottle of Margarita mix.

Almost ready!

Think the last we heard from BobN was when he went down to his basement. Anybody know if he's still down there??

[Charlie B53]

I thought he posted another just the other day.  He didn't mention the basement.   It was about Halloween Costumes.  I didn't notice the date.  It may have been someone made a comment which caused it to put up to the top again.

Maybe the basement monster got him.

[Charlie B53]

Or his Wife locked the basement door and turned off his internet modem!

Let's hope She is at least setting food and water on the top step for him regularly.

Bob? BOB? Do we need to call someone?

Order him a Pizza, delivered?   Or Jimmy Johns?
