Moving the parents - what day is it??

Friday. I told them this was my last day here really. Having to go back to work on Monday, I'd like to be home on Saturday so I have Sunday to take care of things at home. That's ok with them I think.

There's still a lot of stuff in cupboards, nightstands, closets that had to be brought over. I pondered really how much longer this might take.

I think my dad is overdoing it - trying to do too much. I was trying to do as much as I could, but everytime I turned around he'd gone off for 'another load' and carried it all himself. My parents accept their senior citizen classification only to a certain extent it seems.

The place is really shaping up. Roomier than my place - better design too. Living room that easily fits two couches and chairs. Two bedrooms with ample space for the beds and dressers. Dishwasher in a roomy kitchen with cupboards that go all the way around, and a new fridge. Patio. Garage. Washer/dryer supplied on the first floor. Decent basement. I wish I had a camera phone to take shots of it - but then it'd be out of juice anyway. Which reminds me - I'll have to do something about that old computer I gave them. it was running Win95. It was enough for my dad, cause he just wanted to play solitaire, and type up letters to print on it. When I connected it after the move, it started looking like a blown drive. Really sad part is -their old Gateway Win3.11 computer still works just fine. Testimonial to Gateway I guess (and Dad loves pointing that out to me with a big grin)
