A Request for Help

[eredien]

So, I'm in the process of moving into my new place right now. I'm also in the process, unfortunately, of getting rather violently ill. I thought that if I took it easy yesterday my cough might not develop into a fullblown sore throat/cough of death, but I thought wrong. Eight hours' sleep and lots of tea hasn't helped, and I feel like crap. It would really be awesome if some folks would be willing to pitch in to help me move some of my stuff. I do have the loan of a car for the week, but I want to get it back to lutris by Friday. I'd be happy to feed you.

Basically, I need help, so I figure there's no shame in asking for it. Give me a call, as I'll be away from my computer for most of the day, moving my stuff from storage in Cambridge or lugging it up the stairs.

Edit: the heat went off sometime last night, so my roommate and I woke up to a frigid 50ish degrees. The heat's still out. The heat company is apparently sending somebody over to fix it, but I am guessing that is part of why my cold got worse instead of better. Thankfully, the hot water is a separate system...

Can't help from this far away, but I wish you health and help.

Very much ditto!

[jcfiala.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's my problem.

[eredien]

Thanks, to all of you. :)

Hey, i'm working all week, but when you feel better, would you like to get together?

[eredien]

That would be great--are you in Boston now?

[earis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm back for a while. Do you have my cell phone number?

[eredien]

I think so. It's a 617 number? Where are you living now--in Boston, Cambridge, etc?

[earis.livejournal.com]

Yeah its a 617 number. I'm living with my parents in Newton right now.

This week is pretty crazy, but I'd like to help if I can. What is your schedule for moving, beyond "car needs to be back by Friday"?

[eredien]

Basically, I think I am going to need help carrying large/heavy/awkward furniture either out of my room and down to the curb, or vice versa, on Thursday. I'm going to try to get all of the smaller things today and tomorrow, but there's no way I can move the really heavy stuff up 3 flights of stairs myself.

I'll be back in town late Thursday. Give me a call if you still need help.

[eredien]

Thanks. I'll do so if I do still need help.

Help?

Sorry. Too far away, otherwise I'd be happy to help.

Hope you feel better soon. There's a version of stomach flu going around here that the flu shots didn't stop that's just short of closing the schools.

Got anything that would fit a 5.3 cu ft trunk?
