This morning I got up at 9:00 a.m., headed over to the local UHaul, and rented an appliance dolly for $7. With my friend and I in his pick-up, we headed back up to Columbus to pick up my cabinet which I had left to retrieve a couple days after I'd moved out. We brought it down the elevator and down the ramp and headed outside where we nearly tipped the thing over, but we made it. We loaded it up and drove back to my house. We reached my home safely and I argued with my mom as to where to put it. She wanted it in the garage, but my computer was upstairs and there was no way to play it if it were in the garage. So, I talked her into it and my friend and I brought it in the house. Man are these things heavy! Then, we tried to take it up the stairs. What a mistake. A mistake that probably could have cost my friend his life. We were unprepared for this. I was pulling it up and he was underneath pushing it up. I was keeping the plain of it level with the stairs which is probably the wrong way to do it and basically we were pulling/pushing all the weight up these steep stairs. I pulled so hard. My back hurts, my legs hurt now. He's a strong guy and if he weren't as strong as he is it probably would have came down right on top of him. Admittedly, it was a stupid thing to do. I feel terrible thinking about what could have happened. I mean, we were really struggling with this thing and if I had lost my grip on it it would have came down on him. Right now, I'm sick with the thing. I just feel like burning it right now, it pissed me off so much. I'm definitely feeling down about this whole project right now and just feel like giving the whole thing up. Later.
