The last two weeks have been spent in preparation for this past weekend. Although I'd prepositioned all kinds of stuff at the new house (about 5-6 minivan-loads), most of the heavy lifting was done on Saturday when we hired Two Men and A Truck to move us. Three guys came out from Blue Springs, MO, and did a bang-up job moving us.
It might have cost us just a bit over $1000 (they charge by the hour and their methods are geared towards less breakdown and more moving, which places a greater premium on actually getting things packed properly beforehand), but they were exceptionally professional and were true to their word. Every bit as professional as I would've expected of them.
That doesn't change the fact that a sizeable amount of minivan-portable stuff was still left at the old house, and I spent most of yesterday and today moving stuff.
Good part of it is that almost all of it is minivan-portable. Better part of it is that I've managed to lose some six pounds in the last week, and I don't think it's just water weight either.
Whether I keep that weight off remains to be seen. I am pretty beat and have two books to read in the next two days.
To quote some of my former coworkers from Combined/Joint Task Force 82 back in 2008...
HIGH OCTANE!!!
