Well September was a wild ride and October might have a few twists and turns as well.
My exit from Monterey was unceremonial. I had lots of pieces to put together to exit by September 25th. I felt the pressure every damn day before taking off into wild blue yonder.
I didn't pack the way I should of, but things came apart in stages, not necessarily gathering and packing with like items. For instance, I had to pack a glass lampshade. I did bubble wrap it, but I also packed it with jackets and sweaters around to help with the shifting. Will I ever find anything again?
I moved to Monterey, CA, in 2002, from my beloved city of New York, NY. It was stressful, but I don't remember the shadiness of the moving industry that I saw this move.
I did all the research, collected all the facts, and thought I had made informed decisions moving my big stuff, car, and me. As it turned out, relocating me was the smoothest.
The moving company I choose was not to be believed and ended up costing me an additional $1000. over the $2600. estimate. My stuff is still out on the road, and I may write another blog talking about the thievery that this company was motivated to use.
My car move, well let's say I have more faith in this company. Although The day they were supposed to pick up
my car, their big rig broke down about 50 miles from Monterey. They had hoped that the truck would be fixed by the next day, my last day in Monterey. It wasn't, and I left my VW buggy behind as I flew out on Wednesday morning, September 25th, at 6 AM.
So my car sat in Monterey for a few days while a new big rig was sent for the pick-up. Unfortunate, the driver followed his GPS carefully, and it took him down a side street where he took out a low hanging tree branch and part of the trunk. YIKES! Thankfully the rig wasn't damaged; my car was loaded and on its way to me. The Word is that the delivery should happen today. We shall see.
So, I am in Sunny, Florida, waiting for my stuff. No car makes it a challenge to learning my way around and looking for work. All in good time I guess.
My art supplies are all in shipping mode at this time, so digital is my creative method today. Hopefully, a pad and some art pens will fall into my lap shortly, and my doodles will come to life.
Time to move on, I have a car to rescue.
Yup I got this.
Later You All
