I forgot...

...the downside to moving is that you have to carry all your stuff down a flight of stairs, put it in the car, drive over to the new house and then carry it inside and down into the basement.

My bruise collection is impressive already and I have aches where I didn't even think I had muscles. Sod this getting old for a lark - ten years ago I would have been up and down our apartment's stairs like a over-enthusiastic Golden Retriever.

Ah well. It needs doing, so it will be done. I'm sorting out more boxes today and we can switch carrying to packing for a little bit.

I think when Twiller and I did our emergency move, we were up to 2 showers a day some days, just to get the muscles to stop twitching. Also truly absurd amounts of water - I think we both went through about a gallon each a day, just because all that non-stop lift-carry-set down-lift-carry-set down is more dehydrating than it seems and cardboard sucks all the water out of your hands.
