Worth every penny for sure. Still tramatic!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

What's the alternative? I mean, other than not moving long-distance, which, duh. Never not an alternative.
One-way rental truck. We moved from San Antonio to KC that way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
One-way rental truck.
I can happily say I'm never doing that. Not in love with the idea of driving anything bigger than my Jetta over long distances. Not even my Jetta with a trailer. I have maneuverability issues.

Between the cost of the truck and gas ($1000), plus my time and money on the road, there's no way that would be better than the ($2500) I paid my Mayflowers movers to move me from MD to CA.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm still traumatized about how much it cost to have long-distance movers. Never again!
Both my cross-country moves were subsidized. One reason to go for-profit!

We had a $500 moving subsidy for that move and got under it.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was fully intending to tip our movers $50 each on account of the stairs, but I downgraded it to $20 when they tried to fleece me (they claimed that the stairs weren't on the work order and said I'd have to pay them extra, in spite of the fact that it said "4th floor walk-up" on EVERY FREAKING PAGE).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I moved 9 times in 15 years, twice across state lines, and always moved myself, with a Penske truck and a little help from my friends. Except for this last move, when I actually had enough money to hire a moving company. If I ever move again, I'm hiring people.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I've only done long-distance moves twice.(By long-distance, I mean from one state to another) The first time was when I was going to grad school, and I was not bringing furniture. (First time renting a place, and I rented a bedroom set) Second time was moving from NC to MD, and I hired movers and a truck for everything but the stuff I needed for the next few days. Last time we moved we hired movers, even though we were only going a couple of miles.
