I was feeling really good!!!! There was a weight lifted off my shoulders because my dad's condo is officially SOLD!!

And I booked some movers for the granite table for the 30th. It's a day off for me and I'll be going to the Canucks game that night.

But then my mom just called. She wasn't satisfied with the moving date. 

Did you tell them that they will have to take stairs?
Did you tell them the table won't fit in the elevator?
What if they can't move it? Then we would have to find other movers? It will be so late!
The new owners take possession on the 8th, you know.

What am I? Some sort of idiot? An idiot that deals with idiotic moving companies? In the past, we've gone with Chinese movers who are cheap. But they're weak. One time we moved house, and they sent two movers. We had a piano to move. They had to call 2 extra guys. And this was an upright piano. 

I was straight up with the moving company with all the details, and details they knew to ask anyway. 

Oooh...

Um...

My mom just called sounding very happy. Someone wants the table, and they will find their own way to move it. We are giving away that beautiful table for free. *sigh* I am sad that I am going to part ways with that table forever. I think this person may also take the other granite counter top. And I am going to have to cancel the movers!

Thanks, and it is a HUGE relief! HUGE! But geez, realtors sure take a big chunk for a commission!

So do I. I think it's a lot of grunt work and phone calls from here on in, to get the place empty!

YAY! - Glad the condo sold - but sorry to hear that you won't be taking your table with you - Did you tell your Mom that you would like to keep that for yourself?

I did tell my mom that I wanted to keep the table, but I know it was something that I couldn't really do. There just wasn't anywhere to store it, and it's too big for my apartment. It would be just a waste of money to pay to put it in storage.

CONGRATS! What a relief! Now, hopefully, you'll get to enjoy the holidays with little (less at least) stress!

Thanks! My mom can drive me nuts sometimes, but then I have to remind myself she won't be around forever so that helps me calm down a little!

Just when I thought the table was leaving...the snow here has prevented the movers from getting to the front door!
