All Moved In (Again)

Oy.

My arm muscles are aching, legs are stiff, back is sore, and hands are nicked/cut/scraped to death. I slept like the dead last night, and still am walking around this morning with a fatigue hangover.

Yep, this weekend was The Big Move (and, as far as I'm concerned, the last one I'm going to be involved with until 2013, at least).

I don't know if I have a learning disability or what, but I am always surprised at how much effort it takes to move my stuff from one place to another. Initially, I think, "Oh, move - no problem. We don't have that much stuff..." and mentally slice off, like, an afternoon to get a few boxes taped up.

Hoo, boy, am I naive. Lane and I have been working nonstop for the last two weeks to get our stuff boxed, sold, or donated. This weekend was a complete loss, time-wise, as we dealt with the actual moving of stuff from A to B, the cleaning of the old place, the setting up of furniture, the triaging of boxes to find bedding/clothing/toilet paper/plates/laptop power adapters, the endless games of "Tower of Hanoi" with our stuff to get down hallways and in to rooms. We did some serious violence to the chaos, but we're looking at another solid week of organizing, keep-or-tossing, and re-arranging. And we're likely looking at another month or two of mop-up work to get the place the way we want it.

But we're in.
(And it's great.)

PS - Lane and I both want to give a big shout-out to the friendly guys at Mountain Movers of Seattle. These are the folks we used to move back in April, and they were every bit as professional, fast, and awesome as they were last time. If you're moving in the Puget Sound, give them a call - I can't recommend them more highly!
