Arrrgh moving

[jessmarimba]

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.

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!!

Shannon - my youngest cat has managed to find all sorts of places to hide in the hotels on our road trip up here - like between the furniture and the wall, or behind drawers, or in false backs. She still checks the cabinet in the office area of our current hotel/home because she managed to get behind the drawer when it was open and wants to hide back there again. Stinker.

Good luck with your unpacking - and make sure there aren't any kitties in the box stuffed with paper. Ask me why I know...

Just waitin for friends to show now - I am SO glad that today is the full move. No Internet access now outside of my phone until Monday. I will be too busy unpacking and cleaning the old apt anyway - I have to turn my keys in tomorrow.
