Speaker 1
How did your move go? Did all go well?
Speaker 2
it hasn't happened yet! we're still packing and getting ready but i'm already exhausted. how long did it take you to recover from your move?
Speaker 1
It took about 3 weeks to fully recover from all of the packing and unpacking. It's not fun at all!
Speaker 2
yes and because it's like, your HOME, there's just no peaceful place to recover from the chaos! what had prompted your most recent move?
Speaker 1
Exactly! And I was ready for a bigger house, I needed more space. I bet you're going to need even more time recovering since you had a long mountain hike!
Speaker 2
I totally hear you on space. nobody likes to be cramped. and yeah, i'm definitely sore from the hike but it was good to clear my head before the big move! what do you do to relax or unwind when you're in a stressful situation?
Speaker 1
I love to just take a stroll around the mall on my lunch break. The mall is usually empty so it's kind of peaceful. Other than yellow do you have anything else in mind for colors?
Speaker 2
that sounds really nice. fresh air! and yes, I want to paint the living room a really vibrant purple. my couch is orange and I think it would look cool!
Speaker 1
Yes that would look really good together! I can't wait to get a new couch, the dogs have messed up the couch I have now.
Speaker 2
aw man thats such a bummer. what color couch would you get do you think?
Speaker 1
I think I want a dark grey couch, something where stains from the dogs doesn't show so easily. I love them, but they are messy!
Speaker 2
big dogs often are! dark colors hide stains better so thats smart. I have cats so I had to get a special fabric couch so their claws couldnt ruin it.

Speaker 1
I am going to send you a list of my best moving tips that will save you time and trouble.
Speaker 2
Oh, that would be excellent! Thank you. I am not excited to move next week as it is so much work.
Speaker 1
I can understand that. My last move took 3 weeks for me to feel "normal" again. 
Speaker 2
Did you rent a truck for moving or did you just have family help you?
Speaker 1
I rented a truck for all my stuff and family helped unload. Unfortunately my couch was ruined in the move so I'm on the hunt for a new one.
Speaker 2
Well, I know there are a few thrift stores in the area. Have you check them for a couch yet?
Speaker 1
Not yet, I plan to this weekend though. I'm looking for a plain old gray couch. Thrift stores are so much fun to hunt through for them.
Speaker 2
Well, if I am in the area, I will take a look and see if I can find a grayish color couch. Would that be okay with you?
Speaker 1
That would be awesome, thank you for offering! Are you at least excited to move and start painting your place?
Speaker 2
Yes, I think once the initial part of moving is out of the way, I will be excited. The hot weather doesn't help how I am feeling about the move.
Speaker 1
Yes, it's so hot and sticky. I've mostly just been eating salad lately instead of hotdogs.
Speaker 2
Salad is certainly the better option, especially in the summer. However, a good hot dog on the grill in the summer is the best!

Speaker 2
I like to be unique, so I thought an orange couch would be unique! I love the burnt orange color!

Nothing  wrong with being unique. I forgot that you don't like hot dogs or steak. What do you grill when you have a bbq?
Speaker 2
I usually grill vegetables and shrimp! Shrimp on the grill is the best!
Speaker 1
I also love shrimp. I guess that is another reason we both enjoy thrift stores; to save all our money for shrimp!
Speaker 2
Maybe we can get together over the weekend and make some shrimp on the grill!

Speaker 1
How come you're moving out?
Speaker 2
It will be away from all the noise. I need an escape, ya know?
Speaker 1
Yeah I understand that. It brings a lot of peach to mind. I'm thinking of having a barbeque as a house warming would you like to come over or will you be swamped with packing?
Speaker 2
That would be fantastic. Gotta eat, right? What can I bring?
Speaker 1
Anything would be great, I've got the meats covered and I believe another friends bringing over salad. I can help you pack to help you catch-up, if you'd like.
Speaker 2
Great! Maybe I will just bring chips or something. No need to add more stress! I will never turn down a helping hand with moving.
Speaker 1
Ehh that's great, I forgot about snacks. Great, let me know whenever ya need me. Are you moving out alone?
Speaker 2
The cats are definitely joining me. I think they will love the chance to roam outside!
Speaker 1
Oh that's great! how mny cats do you have? Is the new place very far from your current place?
Speaker 2
Three now. One passed away recently but she was old and had a good life. The new place is only a 20 minute drive away but if feels like a whole different world.
Speaker 1
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that. Yeah, I feel that, it's like a whole new world opened up that you didn't realize existed. Are there grocery store and other amenities nearby?
Speaker 2
Oh, I knew it existed. I just needed to find the right place. There is a little mini mart about 2 miles away. It will at least have a variety of things.
