Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We used strong-backed relatives to load a one-way truck and towed our car cross-country. And then we hired "a guy" and "a buddy of his" for $60 plus $25 tip for both (not each) to unload the heavy stuff off the truck. They were fast and super-careful, and put everything right where we said to.
The second load was H's van packed to the gills and a tow-along trailer, ditto, which we unloaded ourselves.
But there was the cost of gas and motels for seven-eight nights cross-country, both trips, offset by the overnight stays with kind Buffistas with parking space.

I'm still cranky about the movers my folks hired to move them to CA from FL; they packed really badly, so we ended up with a bunch of the 90-year-old china broken. They didn't re-install the mirrors above the dressers, so those are still propped against the wall. And my mother's convinced a bunch of her clothing got lost.
I am not looking forward to moving, but am looking forward to having moved; there is too much police activity on this street.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
We used movingscam.com to choose our movers, and they were fast and efficient.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I hate movers. They stress me.

I hate movers. They stress me.
I hate movers. They broke a lot of my stuff. And charged more than they were supposed to.
But I love artichokes. So I am going to focus on potential future nummy vegetables and not past moving trauma.

Two reasons why they stress me.

I had a great conversation with a moving company that I've heard is a good one and am looking forward to meeting with one of the managers on Saturday, when he comes by to do an estimate. I am really hoping to not have to stress about the actual physical move.
