I have no idea why I thought that I could move the boxes myself and only ask for help with the furniture.
I just moved a (garden) cart load of boxes (i.e, 1 large full of fiber and one medium full of pots and pans), a folding chair and my portable spinning wheel (sidekick) and my back is already complaining.
Moving sucks. If I ever move again, I'm hiring full-service movers. Never again with the packing and the lifting. I moved 11 times in 16 years. I'm done.
The last two times I moved (before I moved to VT) I hired movers, partly because I was having to move in August in Florida and going to a place on the second floor and then one with two stories. Movers were totally worth it. I wish I could have done the full moving experience up here to VT with professionals but I probably would have brought more stuff than actually would fit in the apartment.
yay for new place Sumi!
mmm... breakfast.
I believe that on time means 5 minutes early, but no one is truely late untile 15 minutes late. Traffic around here sort of messes that up. Lucktle ily that seems to mesh with most people I know. And now I work with teens that really aren't 100% in charge of thier schedule - so I have to let go a little
Traffic totally does change things in ways you can't plan. I mean, daily congestion you plan for but random things are just random. Driving to my folks varies by thirty minutes without commuting or any actual situations. It just is.
I don't begrudge people with traffic. I do think I can arch a brow when my brother says he'll be somewhere at noon, I call at 12:30 and he only left five minutes ago. That's not traffic, that's not caring. Because he doesn't call either to update.
I colored eggs today. I love that part of Easter. There's a picture of me (FB) holding a wax crayon that looks like I stealth smoke. I just needed to block the color, man. Anyone would be holding that.
I colored eggs today too! We made "tie-dyed" eggs. They turned out super cute.
How do you tie-dye? I did multicolor but nothing near so elaborate. I would like to tie-dye next year. People need to keep having kids so as to continue having a pool of small humans for me to dye Easter eggs with in the future. And Monday? Confetti egg salad.
Cass, I will totally dye eggs with you sans small humans.
I win!
I really like coloring eggs. And, apparently, it's a bonus that I will then take the eggs to make egg salad sandwiches. That look like confetti if I have my way.
It's food you are encouraged to play with, I don't see the downside. Apart from looking like I mirder clowns in my spare time. But fingers will get over being stained.

We did that at one of the houses I work at, last week. I dunno how you did it, but we had spent a happy Saturday scouring second hand stores for silk ties, then took apart the ties, wrapped the eggs in the silk, then wrapped the wool lining around that, rubber bands around that, into a pot of boiling water with 2 tbs of vinegar, and boiled for ten minutes. They came out very nifty looking. [link]
