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 count myself exceptionally lucky, especially with this last move. I did ... about half the packing. My mom the organizational wizard did the other half, then she hired her lawn guys to come help carry the heavy stuff, as well as my friend Drew, my dad drove the UHaul (because not being able to see out the back terrifies me, despite being a badass at backward-parking them), then my mom and my friend Jared put together all my new bookshelves while Jared's one-year-old "helped" me organize by stacking and unstacking Tupperware and handing me my shoes (it was very cute).
