So a friend of mine is moving to Fredericksburg, VA. She doesn't have to have the house here cleared for a month but she has forward momentum now as everything falls into place for the move and she asked a few friends to help her pack and move a few things the past weekend.
A few things. Uh-huh. She is now pretty much moved. Two very long days that reminded me that I plan to hire movers for my next move. Or it's going to involve a can of gasoline and a match.
I'm really over stairs now, as well. When I win that $400 million lottery my dream house will not involve stairs.
And don't ask me how much work I got done at my own place over the long weekend.
But at least I made it to the grocery store yesterday along with the other locusts. We've moved into the upwards of a foot of white and fluffy range. But since I'm a teleworker the government closure doesn't affect me. Drat. Moving my friend's house means my own house is still filthy.
I feel your pain. When I retired from the AF, told the wife we were going to move 3 more times. Once to the area, once into our home, then once into a box. Forgot about the kids and college, then college home 2, then kid 2 to college and college homes 1-4, then back home, then to a job home, then kid 1 back to Texas....
ReplyDeleteI just moved the kids to Detroit last March...
DeleteMy knee hurts just thinking about how yours must feel. In 2002, we moved my family of four into a 3-story townhouse with a basement. Had two other families with lots of kids help us, and formed bucket brigades up the stairs.
ReplyDeleteWe're in a two-story place now with no basement, and will also hire movers if we ever move again.
My friend is prone to +3500 sq ft houses which are beautifully furnished with lots of ... stuff.
