Moving is exhausting work, the packing, the logistics planning, the actual move, the unpacking…..we’ll be here patiently waiting and cheering you on!
Thanks, Deb. And, one of the moving parts went wrong today, but I’ll find a way to recover.
If nothing else, Thursday’s will still be around!
Take your time and don’t worry about us. We will be here when you are
packed, feted by friends and colleagues.then moved and unpacked in Columbus.
Thank you, Jeannette. At least we all have Thursdays to talk books!
Hang in there! You will do it!
You’re changing huge parts of your life, time constraints are to be expected! When it gets a bit overwhelming, just think of all the wonderful trips in your future.
And, plenty of time with family, which is great, MM!
When we last moved, we had a month to transition. So several times a week, I would drive over boxes of books, filling the back seat of our VW Beetle, and bring them over here. It was about a 20 minute trip. So on the day of the move, the books were pretty much already moved and that left a lot less to move.
The move before that was just across the street, but it was from the third floor of one brownstone, down to the ground, then then up the stairs to the third floor of another brownstone. In any case, it was good exercise!
Oh, Jeff! At least I’m on the ground floor here, and moving to a one floor apartment. I don’t have to cart books up and down stairs. (Probably why you’re thin, and I’m not.)
