It's been a crazy week ... will have to catch up with everyone's news later.

I am about 75% moved into the new house. There are still a lot of books and yarn, plus clothes and stuff that were uncovered when the furniture was moved out yesterday. Right now all the furniture and most of my stuff is in the new house, but the animals are still at the old house; I figure I should get a little more unpacked and situated before putting them in a brand-new environment.

Speaking of cats, the most dramatic thing that happened during the move yesterday was that I thought Marley ran away, but he was simply hiding in the basement. Whew! He's incredibly traumatized, though. It will be a while before he gets over this one. Also Henry kept escaping, but fortunately a 20-year old cat can't run very fast.

Now that the furniture is out of the old house, I can't believe how big it is! It's positively cavernous. Way too much for just one person. The movers agreed the new place is so much nicer, and more appropriate. Right now I'm camping at my old house, on a cot with a foam mattress and everything. I plan to have it all cleaned and ready to sell by the end of the month. Still trying to find new homes for my appliances!

Speaking of the movers, $724 and worth every damn penny. Yay for being middle-aged and affluent!

$724 is nothing. So happy for you and the new move! It will all be worth it (and I want to come visit you in your new digs when you are ready)

As soon as I'm settled in I am going to have an Artist's Way reunion!

I'm behind the times. Are you still in the city?

I am middle-aged and broke-ass, but $724 is money well spent!

Movers sound so decadent!

Can't wait to see the new place, let me know if you need any help getting situated.

I decided to hire movers because no way was I going to ask that my friends (I've acquired some really large, heavy antique wood pieces and our creaky backs just don't spring back the way they used to!), but now that I've seen movers in action, there's no going back. It's an amazing thing to watch. They were really good. Also nothing got broken, but if it did it would be insured ... if any of my friends broke anything while helping me move, nothing good could come of it.

All that said, I could use some help getting assorted odds and ends out of the old house; just hauling boxes and appliances from Point A to Point B. What is your availability this week?
