Trials & Joys

We found a washer & dryer! No more doing laundry for $2.25 a load - and with kids, we do a lot of loads!
Getting the unit to our apt was another story. U-Haul gave us much grief and run-around, because we had out-of-state driver's licenses. After many phone calls and trips to different U-Haul locations, we finally got a discount and were able to rent a truck.
While Lennon was picking the washer/dryer unit, I went to find the DMV. After following bad directions, then good directions, then missing the correct street, I finally got to the DMV to be treated gruffly and shoved a bunch of forms with MANY parameters to be done in order to have our car registered. Argh!
After that mess, Lennon had me meet him at Ashley Furniture in Reno (30 minutes north), and we picked out a wonderful mattress. (We had been sleeping on an air mattress for 2 weeks now. Better than the floor, but not the most comfortable long-term.)
So, it was a trying day, but it turned out okay, once we got into a very comfortable bed ... snore ....

I remember the air mattress days... *sigh*...when we lived in NY we started out with an air mattress...and when that got a hole in it....was the floor...so actually having a bed....never taking that for granted again...lol :)
