I'm apparently friends with your sister. Except they were in their early thirties at the time.
Everyone knows better than to ask me to help them move now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We moved a gazillion times as a family, and I was shocked and horrified when I had to move on my own, without the government paying for expert movers.
I'm still kinda traumatised, but at least I can now afford to pay folks to do the heavy lifting for me.

I'm screwed. The cafeteria has fixed their lemon square recipe. Not only are they not salty, they're just the right amount of fluffy, and the sugar on top scrapes right off. They may also cost only 80¢, but I won't believe that until a more experienced cashier checks me out.

Our wings are not tired.
I only hired movers once and it was a horrible experience. They took forever and broke stuff. The last few times and all the times before I have done it myself. Fortunately DH has big strong friends and family. The last few times they have been close by moves that didn't need to be done all at once and that helped.
Still, if I move again it would be nice to just get rid of all the stuff. Moving is such a bother.

It is my fervent hope that teleporters will be invented between now and the next time I have to move. This will allow me to avoid finding friends OR hiring movers.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I think the movers we hired for this last move were possibly the best money we spent. Either that or our honeymoon in Italy.
