At least with the moving part. TechieBK and I finally got the last of the stuff out of the old place, cleaned it up a bit, and voila - in slightly less than three days, we are completely out of one home and into another.
HUZZAH!!! While the prep and packing were still quite stressful - and there was a bit of drama (not ours) that delayed us getting our keys for a full day - it's all been ironed out, and now there are about 5 dozen (no kidding) boxes in our living room, plus many in the kitchen and a few in other rooms. This means that the truly hard part is over.
Only now, there's the exhaustion. And since I've planted myself at Borders - with TechieBK sitting next to me reading his latest purchase - I figure I ought to crank myself up and head on home. Amy took a few pictures (and wrote awesome comments on my boxes) when she was over on Thursday helping us pack up. She's promised to tell the story, and I'll let her - let's just say that everybody got punchy, and MUCH MUCH hilarity ensued. (P.S.: big, big thanks. I had no intention of "moral support" turning into "help packing," but I thank you, and my tea thanks you.)
Most importantly, I have imposed on my BFF for moving assistance for the last time. We could not possibly have accomplished everything we did, in the amount of time we did, were it not for Caety. I cannot possibly express everything I'm thinking, but I think she pretty well knows.
Also, I'm going to pay her even if it takes me forever to do it.
This Thursday, there will be knitting. Other than that, there will be unpacking and errand-running (and two more days work-free). And now, since Bryan is asleep in the Borders Cafe and I'm not far behind him, I'll just say hasta and catch up when I'm not falling over tired.
Happy December!
About Me
- Plum Texan
- Houston, Texas, United States
- I was born in 1973, married the incomparable TechieBK (aka Bryan) in 2004, and did many things in between and since that are profound, dumb, fun, painful, or random (often all of the above). * I love Texas and being from here. I also love some very specific deep, rich shades of purple. Hence the title (if not the current design). * I enjoy plastic casings with apples on the outside and electronics on the inside. * Food should be loved and respected, but only feared if it's treated improperly. * There is a difference between good writing and good storytelling. Both are elusive...and both are important. * Let it be understood that if all you know about Texas comes from movies or television or rumors, you haven't even scratched the surface...and I'm happy to help you dig deeper.

Glad you made it! I have to say that I always think unpacking is the worst part--you're already so tired from moving that it's no fun. Hope it's not too bad for you!
Congrats! 3 years later I'm still unpacking...
Congrats on the move! I'll bet it feels so good to at least have everything in the new place. As for unpacking... we've been in our place 2 years and we're still trying to figure out where to put stuff...
