Arrrgh moving

[lph]

I have 2 of the above.... access to beer at all times is CRUCIAL!

Oh yes. And pizza. I refuse to move without access to beer and pizza. The upside to moving is that you have a standing excuse to not go to any social events you don't want to go to, you can walk around inside with shoes on and not tidy for days and weeks, and you can eat pizza at odd hours of the day. Otherwise moving stinks.

Wish that my body liked pizza...but it doesn't. Not commercial pizza that is There is something I make that passes for pizza that uses whole-wheat pizza dough as a base that works for me - no meat though. I think it is the fat content of more traditional pizza that does it to me. I love the taste, but I cannot eat it.

This may, or may not, be a surprise, but there is a little OCD to my personality. I really cannot relax until everything is unpacked and all boxes are gone. Sad, I know, but that is just the way it is for me. I think that I am getting a little better in this department, so we will see - regardless beer and good sandwiches will get me through

Since my leg is pretty much pain free now, I am going to ask my PT if I can take a short inaugural ride from my new apt if I don't clip in. The tendonitis feels much better (and did improve before I went to see him), the only thing I really feel now is the strained hamstring when I bend down. I know, he will probably laugh, but am going to ask anyway I KNOW what caused the strained hamstring - it wasn't the bike...

Feel like coming to visit? I've lived in this house for a year and there's still a room of boxes to unpack!

(And no, it isn't just things I should toss since I haven't used them in a year...my DVD player is in one of those boxes b/c I didn't have a tv until this summer )

I feel your pain about moving!!!! Just keep telling yourself that having your life and routine turned inside out is only temporary. Somehow that always helps me.......along with frequent rest breaks and cold beer. Must have beer!!!!

Moving next week. I have no direct contact with the movers that have my belonging in storage. Just a web site.... military moves, such fun.

So this is my last *free* non-chaos weekend, and I plan to take full advantage. Next weekend is the walk through of the house. I have GOT to find something fun to do to get out of the hotel.

So Beth, did you take the house after all (over the apt)? I didn't see the resolution to your dilemma!

Sorry for the thread hijack... we just moved this June (in 98 degrees + humidity over two weekends!), and it is indeed a PITA!

Last time we moved my cat disappeared. I thought he slipped out the door while we were bringing things in and searched ALL over the place for him. I began hearing him.. this sad lonely meowwwwwwww.. I was beside myself. I didn't know where exactly he was and thought he may have climbed down in the floor registers. This went on for two days. On the second day I called the SPCA as I was at my end. He was in the house, but I couldn't exactly tell where the sounds were coming from and now I wasn't hearing them as often.

SPCA comes and looks at the duct openings and asks how big the cat is and says he's too big to have fit down there. He looks in the basement. Finds paw prints in the dust on top of an old shelf that and finds my cat hiding up between the floor joists where the basement has been finished with drop ceiling. Too far to reach so I put some canned food out and lure him out to within reach and pull him out. He wasn't entrapped, just scared, so when I pulled him out I used cardboard to seal off the exposed joists.

I told my Realtor who helped us find the home about the story and she laughed... at least by the time I told her I was settled down enough to laugh too, that or I would have just slapped her. SELL me a house that eats my cat will you!!!! LOL

Hope the unpacking and such is over soon!!
