I'm moving from my little house on the prairie to Dana's parsonage today. All my junk is going to meet all her junk to make one huge pile of junk that will need to be sorted and selectively winnowed before we move again in mid-June.
The movers are already lined up for that move. We just don't have a destination yet.
I hate moving.
But today's is pretty easy. I never really put that much stuff into the little house. Just a bed, dresser, table, chairs and sofa. It's a small place and I mainly used it for sleeping.
But still. Moving makes me shudder
And Dana's house is already full to the rafters. It has secret compartments in it. And a full basement that is, well, full.
I'm getting some help from a couple of local kids who are in middle school, but look like pro linebackers. Must be corn fed, you know. Great kids, anyway. They spent the morning weightlifting, so I figure my furniture should be no sweat for them. Ha!
Well, gotta go hitch up the trailer.
Dana got out of all this. She had a meeting today somewhere far West of here. Hmm...
She did have to spend part of last night clearing a path to the bed that will be displaced in the guest room. Looks like we're in good shape for getting rid of that thing. It's a VERY soft bed. Sitting on it is more like pilates. Posts: 22497 | Registered: Sep 2000

Where oh where to begin? Posts: 4344 | Registered: Mar 2003

Sorry I haven't responded sooner, I was sort of tied up. I swear, I must be the King of the moves. I really hate hanging around waiting. Wish the kids would get here. Of course, I'm a little concerned about having other people look at all my junk. I'm sure they'll be casting lots of odd looks my way.

Hey - I helped move your stuff into that cute little house. That wasn't weird stuff. The weird stuff is in some of those "secret compartments" in dkw's house! Wait until you pack to move out of that house!! Posts: 113 | Registered: Nov 2004

The person you really want to help you is my sister, Cindi. But you'd have to watch her . . . she tosses everything (well almost everything - she's kept her grandchildren)!

Well...I'm happy to report that the kids (3 of them) were REALLY diligent and careful. They did a great job. I'd hire them again.
We've got the old bed in the trailer waiting for Spring Cleaning day. We've got the new bed and the sofa and chair in. The table is over at our friends (they needed a new dining room table that can expand out, we have 3 nice tables & chair sets. )
The place is only marginally more crowded than it was yesterday.
I do have a few things to unpack, but I'm just too tired.
I think I'll go shower and see if Dana feels more like cooking dinner than I do. Maybe we'll have popcorn tonight. Posts: 22497 | Registered: Sep 2000

But sweetie, considering that we stayed overnight in Iowa City on the way to KamaCon, you ought to which direction it is. (hint: Chicago is not west of Iowa)
