well, here in a bit, we go pick up the truck... as luck would have, all the nice weather terminated today and it is raining...
pretty much everything is packed and ready to go, a first for us, we usually just shovel it in as is or pack as we load... miss mary has turned out to be a little workhorse, packing up the whole kitchen and even cleaning it rather well, running and getting boxes, she is outdoing me... until loading time, i guess... we bought good boxes for the laserdisc players (5 of them!), mummified the players in bubble wrap, and surrounded them with styrofoam peanuts... the drawing stack has been divide up into two brand new boxes, we will see if this work out any better (but, they are weak boxes)... we are laying blankets and taking the 8 feet of laserdiscs loose rather than pack them in boxes... they would be too heavy to carry down these four flights of stairs... the ugly couch and coffee table will be a major bitch for just the two of us, tv won't be fun...
and the real bitch is going to be apt shopping whe we get there, especially since we are picky...
and, btw, the damn truck is like 700 bucks (!!!!), no tape/cd, and a 10 to 16 hour drive or so, depending on which way we go...
this is not fun and doesn't feel all that exciting yet...
what happened?
i used to love moving...
i guess i had a lot less stuff and didn't care where i lived as much...
btw, we spent a few bucks and had some contact cards made to hand out... just plain business cards that say "http://insidiousplots.com"... since i love the "never have to say good-bye" aspect of being online, i have been handing it, using a line like "if you ever want to find me, this is where i'll be"...
