Liquor stores often have good boxes.

sj, I've usually gotten most of my moving boxes from liquor stores.

Liquor store crosspost!

How interesting, Ginger--I just started working on a breast cancer study that has oral chemo (and a once-weekly IV). You have to have been recently on Herceptin, though. I guess maybe it's becoming a thing? Seems weird, but I guess easier. No clue on the henna though.

Ginger, how are you feeling? I've been thinking about you. Does at home chemo have similar side effects to chemo delivered in the hospital? Is there anything you need?

sj, I've gotten boxes off craigslist (and listed them, too). In previous moves I purchased boxes at home depot, or had movers pack me, and then needed to get rid of them.

I'll try the liquor stores.

Meara, vw suggested I check craigslist, but no luck so far.

Try grocery stores as well. There's one near me that has a big bin of boxes for people to tak.

you have anyone who can ask around their office for paper boxes?

Because I have so many books, I bought some boxes the last time I moved. In Atlanta, there's a place that specializes in misprinted and overstock boxes. It's aimed at corporate customers, but they let the public buy them too. These were quite inexpensive, and I discovered that packing goes much faster when your boxes are the same size. Maybe there's a similar business in your area.

I also unrecycle and then re-recycle boxes from the big recycling center near me. (Theoretically, I'm not supposed to do that.)

sj, I just started on this yesterday, and so far so good. Some people have nausea, but the anti-nausea drug is working fine so far. The hand-foot thing usually starts later in the cycle, and it's not bad for everyone. Cross your fingers!
