#AmeerProblems : I was in desperate need of a nap earlier before work, so I wasn’t able to provide closure to my “moving tale”. So I’ll do that before I add the bar stories I have. 

First things first.. For the past 20 years, I’ve worked in the service here in town without fail. My family knows this... So for my Dad to text me at 11:30 pm on Friday night to ask for my assistance with his moving project... smh... I have a brother and two brother in laws that have nice relaxing weekends.

Dad: (11:30 pm) Can you help me move some boxes and a table Saturday morning? 

Me: *no hesitation* What time? 

Dad: 9 am

So of course I was there at 9 am to help him... and SEVEN... SEEEVEEEN hours later, and 9000 some odd steps, I finally had to take my leave because I had a prior engagement in Blue Springs that was time sensitive.

To REALLY drive home the... uniqueness of my Dad... He’s moving to a whole other state... Part of our journey today involved us picking up a U-Haul, which I thought he was going to use to transport his belongings to North Carolina.... Nope... We loaded up the U-haul with items to donate, items to drop off at his office (he’s keeping an office here in town), and the items he wanted in N.C. we took to a Fed Ex store... To be shipped... Seven boxes, two plastic totes with lids, and two plastic totes without lids... Just tape over the top of them.

Me; Hey Dad... Are these plastic ones going to?

Dad: Yeah

Me: I don’t think they’ll ship those like this.

Dad: We’ll find out.

And I was right... They weren’t going to ship those containers as is. So he agreed to have them unpack his plastic containers and pay them to repack everything. Then he thought of some more items he would also like to ship down, so we loaded up more stuff to drop off and pay them to box up. When it was all said and done he shipped down 15-20 large boxes, to his new wife’s home in Virginia... for a couple of weeks... Before he has them shipped to their new permanent home in NC... and poor little old me is just along for the ride, watching him do allll this stuff that logically makes no sense to me... especially with only an hour and a half of sleep under my belt... and my notion of “sure, I’ll help my Dad for an hour or so” slowly evaporated
