Chapter 6

Making Moves

First thing the next morning, Noah and I took off in search of some moving boxes. Unfortunately, the U-Haul place was sold out of the size we were looking for. They had several smaller sized boxes in stock, as well as, mattress packaging, but Noah and I both decided that neither would suit our needs. Having just been down this road not that long ago, I still had a pretty good notion of how much stuff I had and how many boxes it had entailed to contain it all. The smaller ones would have required us to more than double our packing efforts and the prospects of that didn’t appeal to either one of us. So, we took off in search of another U-Haul location or something similar that would have a better selection regarding our moving needs. We drove around for nearly an hour and turned up nothing before I remembered that Lowe’s sold boxes. Not only were theirs cheaper than anyone else’s, they were also located closer to my place than the U-Haul place had been. Not that I pointed either of those things out to Noah who already had enough to say given that he was starting to recognize certain landmarks after only cruising around for one morning.

“Oh hey, there’s another Albertson’s…or is that the one we passed earlier? Wait a minute! We’re just down the street from your house! Have we just been driving in circles this entire time?”

I chuckled and said, “No! I mean, yes, that’s the same Albertson’s but no, we have not been driving around in circles. It just seems that way because we traveled the same two main roads for most of our outing.”

“Are you screwing with me? We’ve been to five different places. We had to have gotten around a bit more,” he insisted pushing the tip of his nose against the window as he stared outside acting as though he were a crazy person looking out from his padded cell.

“We got around plenty, believe me. But around here Eagle Road and Fairview Avenue will basically take you anywhere you need to go…so, you know, you don’t end up seeing much else. For now anyway. As soon as we get done packing up my entire life again, I’ll take you somewhere more off the beaten path so you can get a better feel for the place.”

Once we had a solid plan, getting boxes and bringing them back home took all of fifteen minutes. Naturally by then we were ready for a break. After walking through the apartment and strategically dropping off several boxes in each room, we found our way back to the kitchen. I didn’t have much there since I had planned on being out of town for several days and more importantly hadn’t been expecting any company upon my return. It took some improvising, but I finally managed to throw together a pretty decent breakfast using yellow cake mix to make waffles, which we topped with some butter and cinnamon and sugar, in lieu of syrup, which I didn’t have.
