I've always packed myself (since I have all the original boxes for my crystal, dishes, etc). So I have no idea how much that adds.

But my move from NYC to the Eastern Shore was about $1500. I think because that was semi-local (i.e., they showed up on the day and went down and unpacked on the same) it was charged hourly. I had a pretty standard one bedroom, but with lots of books.

Loki has it in for my flying monkey from my Elphaba Halloween costume years back (stuffed gorilla with laminated construction paper green wings.) He's crying and taking swings at it because he can't go outside.

This is amusing.

eta: my move across town, a mere 6 miles, was something like $400. And that was packed. And cheap when I did the comps. But different than a long distance move.

my movers packed less than half the stuff, but I have STUFF and they stored a chunk for a couple of months. It was over $5K.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Remember the pug who can say "Batman"? Here's a video edited so he sings the Batman (tv series) theme song....

ION - I am so mad at my VPN today. it keep cutting me off and freezing during tasks.

Also? I CANNOT find the dish organizers thingies for my shelves. I have unpacked 2 of the 3 dish boxes, and well into the third, no sign of them. Also no other visible kitchen boxes. ugh!

Mover packed?

Because, I have to say, your packing up my shit was a godsend. Those thing unpacked still, a year plus later? I don't need (mostly decor.)

Jesushell, Loki is nuts tonight. Devi is just watching him like you would a crazyman. One end of the house to the other, crashing into walls.

yep. I am looking only for mover boxes. no luck yet, but I can't get to all the ones stacked up in the front living.

I did just empty another box though, just not kitchen stuff.

Today was the only day of the week that the city picks up recycling and I wish I could have gotten more boxes out there.

The kitchen is taking shape. My bedroom is a disaster.

I love that Devi is now the calm one in your family, sara.

We're interviewing a new nurse. Our other nurse was like, "But I wasn't that late." K, who is MUCH nicer than I, tried to explain. And I said, "Call t nursing company and they will explain why." When she pushed again I just kept repeating myself.

I forgot the beauty of repetition.
