My husband had the bright idea that we would move ourselves from the south to the north. I told him that we were too old for such nonsense but he wouldn’t hear of it. I guess he thought he had to prove to himself that he wasn’t really that old. So we rented a 26 foot moving truck and a dolly. It took us a few days to load up the truck. By the time we were done we were both exhausted, achy, and grumpy. Then we attached our car so we could tow it and we headed north. It was only then that we realized that the heater didn’t work in our rental truck. At this point there was nothing we could do about it. That first day of driving was very unpleasant. I was freezing cold no matter how many blankets I took from the back. By the time we stopped at a hotel my lips were blue. Thankfully the hotel had a really good heating system. I noticed the warmth as soon as we entered the lobby. Once we checked in I cranked the heater up even higher in our room. By the time we were done with dinner I was half asleep already. The next two days went by much the same. We would freeze with no heat during the day then warm up with the hotel heaters at night. The further north we got, the colder it got. I was super glad when we finally arrived at our new house. I was even more happy when the heater kicked on for us and started warming the house. I swear, I am never moving again.
