Not having any plans for the day I agree.
We meet at 8:30 Saturday morning in Mississauga where we both live...She is moving to Brampton so not too far away.
"Oh Fuimus...I have bought some new furniture so to save the delivery cost I thought that since we have the truck already we could go and pick it up."
First stop...some industrial plaza north of the airport...We have to wait 45 minutes to pick up a sofa, love seat and chair.
Second stop...strip plaza at Dundas and Dixie...wait another 45 minutes to pick up a marble top dinning room table and 6 chairs.
Now back to her condo...it is already 11:30
One helper has not shown up, furniture has not been taken apart ready to move and ....she has a piano!
Finally load the truck...and with the new furniture she did not have delivered...the truck is full and we will need to make another load.
We get to the new house and unload......go back and get the second load.....eat....
it is now 7 pm.
Time for another "Oh fumius....I have some stuff stored in the basement of my office...since we have the truck could we go and get it....it is not too much..
The office is at Dundas and Bathurst...no parking...so we are parked almost a block away...down to the basement....an hour and a half later....the cube van is filled from front to back.
Back to Brampton to unload.....drop off the truck in Mississauga....
I get home to my house at 12:30....16 hours later.
Can you say sucker, or am I just too nice?
Sorry about the rant...I had to get it off my chest.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
