The movers came yesterday and loaded up all the boxes. Took two of them about 7 hours to load up the truck. The whole thing was so much less stressful than last year. The beauty of renting most likely.
I never know what to tip movers. There's no set rate like other tipping. I always give them water and sports drink, but I think next time I'll put out more healthy carb stuff, like energy bars and fruit. I gave them what fruit I had, and they munched it down. But yeah after seeing them sweat their butts off, I always tip them what I feel is pretty big. Especially when it's the driver taking your stuff across the country. With the packers and loaders it was 190 bucks in tips. Sounds like a wild night I had back in...oh never mind.
The driver said the worst state to drive in is New York and New Jersey. Then he recalled some scary ghettos he drove through in DC. He also told me about a truck he saw drive off a cliff. I love those crazy trucker stories!
Later that night, we went over to a friend's house for dinner. I ended up swimming in the pool with my daughter while it was raining because she HAD to go in the pool. It was a bit chilly to say the least.
Myrna is Filipino though, so I unleashed the beast and ate 6 trillion tons of food; egg rolls, pancit, chicken adobo, fried rice, lechon, filipino mac&cheese? haha, mojitos, velvet cake, watermelon, mango cake, some sort of corn cream dip, a pineapple salad, and corn chips!! And I got to meet my first ever person named Ghengis.
I haven't run in 4 days though. Seems like a long time. I'm getting new shoe fever again. It's making me crazy.
