Moving III: the Maze Inside

The move is over.

Sort of.  My previous landlord, after assuring me that it would be OK if some of my stuff was left in his garage past the end of the month, reneged, and asked if it would be possible for me to move it all out by the end of this weekend.  (He had contractors coming to tear the top floor apart, and there was no place for them to put anything.)  So yesterday I rented the hand truck again from Home Despot, and then, with the intermittent assistance of Jack, I emptied everything that was left out of that garage and hauled it up here into the new space, in a single day.  The sole exceptions were the unused cardboard boxes I got from the businesses around town, an IKEA bookcase and a blender.  The boxes were shitty and unserviceable, so they’ll go back out to recycling.  The bookcase was one Weaver took when we split and then gave back to me rather than throw away;  I’ve never had room for it, so it, too, will go out to the trash.  The blender was purchased by Faye and I at a yard sale;  she used it to make protein shakes and rice milk smoothies that she would drink in preference to eating the nice meals that I made for the two of us to share.  Lacking an M-80 and safety goggles to blow it sky-high, I offered it to one of the contractors, and when he declined it, I left it sitting atop a tree stump on the curb, where the People Who Come in the Night and Take Unwanted Things will find it and make it vanish.  Jack saluted it as we walked away;  more than it deserved, but I followed his example.
