# 4 AM

Michael and Julia and Leonard and Sumana all came over and helped me move out of my old apartment. I wasn't near done packing, so Michael and Julia and Leonard kindly finished up while I went with Sumana to get the truck from the rental place. Then we all loaded stuff into the truck until we couldn't take it anymore, and then we took a break and got some ice cream. Then we came back, finished loading the truck, and had dinner.

Sumana very kindly drove my car over to San Francisco while I drove the truck. Driving trucks is no fun. They're huge and slow and unwieldy and you can't see what's behind or on the sides. But I didn't hit anything, so it's all good.

Interestingly, it's much easier to load and unload furniture than boxes full of stuff. I think this is because furniture is huge and so you have to put two people on it. Boxes full of stuff are small enough for one person to carry, but they are still really heavy. Also stairs are really awful, even (especially?) going down. I am very glad the new apartment is on the ground floor.
