House packed, check.
Truck packed, check
Drive north, check.

This afternoon we are unloading (blah).

Then, next week I go back to clean the old place and pick up my car.

Had a lot of pain driving yesterday. One, the truck had had some smokers. Blah. Two, it was a cranky old thing with fixed mirrors, and I had to crane my neck to see out. Also, seatbelt was designed for the average adult male, meaning the smaller than average adult female gets strangled. Left arm, right shoulder, and right leg were worn out last night when I finally got here.

Rain in the forecast, but high near 80.

HAppy less-pain day, chawl.

The worst part is over and it will be downhill now. You did an amazing amount of work and seemed to do quite well with your fibro pain. Of course you would have more pain since you were doing so many thing you usually don't do.

I glad the move is nearly over and you can take a nice rest.

Yay, Myself!   yeah   :-) yeah

I hope you're giving yourself a very gentle pat on the back today.  You planned and carried out a good plan that got you moved and will soon give you some recovery time.  I'm sure you're feeling today what you did yesterday.  Just be careful. 

I remember our last move, when we had to be out of our old house the same day we moved into the new one.  Our 14-yr-old daughter had soccer practice the next day.  She was running backwards during warmups, and stumbled and broke her wrist.  She was a very coordinated kid, but was just past exhaustion.

Well done!!

It went fairly well, considering.

My movers showed up on time, and carried insane amounts. I pulled and pointed in the truck, and the gentleman directed upstairs. We couldn't get the box springs up the stairs. It was just going in the attic, BUT.

The Gentleman got my lunch, and then a painkiller and put me to sleep. after a few hours, we returned the truck and got dinner, beer, and a movie.

Since we are condensing two houses, I packed according to that. Some stuff went directly to storage, other boxes need to be unpacked and then repacked and sent to the attic. the kitchen is the worse, at the moment.

Happy friday chawl.

well done for the move...I think that shows anything is possible, as moving is stressful and difficult even in normal circumstances...

I hope to move next year...our house has become way too small with the four of us and two cats!
