I apologize if that last post was a little snarky, but longtime readers of this blog know that's not out of character for this author.
Anyhow, on a more positive note, Ben and I have two more days before everything is packed up and we hit the road. While my experience with previous moves tell me to calm down, I still can't help looking around the apartment and wondering how all this stuff is going to fit into a 16-foot truck. (I've done it before, so I know it's possible, but I'm still nervous.)
Our To-Do list remains long, although the most pressing item—breaking down the aquarium and transferring all the fish to my sister—was finished yesterday. If we were moving directly into another apartment and not into a hotel, I would've moved the fish with us (been there, done that), but that wasn't in the cards this time. I will miss the Clown Loaches; they've always been my favorites and have tripled their size since I got them, but I know they've gone to a good (and much larger) home and will be fine.
The goal today is to return the cable equipment to Cox and get all the remaining loose items boxed up. If we get that done, we might actually have a little bit of a breather tomorrow before everything happens on Monday.
Moving is a bitch. I've done it twice in 4 years. Sucks. But fortunately, I only have enough stuff to fill one room. Good luck with your move. I hope you have an easy drive to Colorado.
