LEX

an ode to estes, banks, haralson & co.

so, while i wait for a ridiculously long grant to print on and even more ridiculously slow printer, i have chosen to express my gratitude to the people who made my move happen this weekend.

the move was originally planned for friday evening. jeffrey would pick up my car and exchange it for the haralson's truck. jeffrey, andy and i would then load my furniture and other belongings into the truck and CRV and take them to Lori's.

and then my cousin died. the memorial service was planned for friday evening. this was the only time we would have the truck, and even so, jeffrey had to work saturday morning.

so, despite my frantic packing (or lack thereof), and despite me not even being in austin on friday evening (though the extent of my theoretical help is debatable), jeffrey picked up the truck and he and andy, all by themselves, carried my furniture down two flights and up one flight of stairs, loaded it in the truck, and drove it to Lori's, in 3 trips.

so i left town friday with a chaotic apartment filled with furniture. i returned late friday night to a less chaotic apartment with no furniture, and a sleeping bag awaiting my worn out body.

and this, i tell you, is only one reason why i have the best friends in the world.
