It took me hours, and I was tired and dehydrated by the end of it
When I lived up north, I knew better than to switch apartments while in the winter… Moving while in a blizzard is a awful idea. It can be hazardous to drive a moving van over icy roads with limited visibility. Temperatures in the downsides and more than 2 feet of snow on the ground hinder the process of carrying heavy furniture and boxes in and out of the current and seasoned apartment. Plus, it’s too pricey to run the oil furnace when the door is getting left open. At the end of an awful day, the living space is freezing cold. Because of all of these concerns, I made sure that my lease always expired in June. This worked well for me until I relocated south. I packed all of the possessions I could fit into my car and drove eighteen hours south. At first, I had the windows down and enjoyed the fresh breeze. It didn’t take long for the heat and humidity to force the windows up for the sake of a/c, but even blasting the A/C at maximum capacity, I was hot by the time I arrived at my current accommodations. I then needed to carry my things up more than one flights of stairs to my apartment. The stairway was not air conditioned… Since I was continually opening the door, I chose not to lower the temperature control in the apartment. The outside temperature was in the mid nineties and the humidity was brutal. The job of moving was a nightmare. It took me hours, and I was tired and dehydrated by the end of it. I was genuinely sad to finally start up the a/c.
