On your mark, get set, ...

The movers arrived yesterday. Most things made it intact. Unfortunately, a dining room chair and a plant stand did not survive, breaking beyond any repair.

Cable is sort of hooked up -- they claim it is on, but it doesn't work (the building is supposed to be wired such that they don't need to send out a technician, turning it on and off from the central office). A technician is coming out tomorrow. So much for technology.

You don't realize just how much crap you've accumulated until after you've packed it, shipped it, and unpacked it. I've managed to get about 80% unpacked. Only a handful of boxes left. It's starting to feel like home.

One of the nice things about moving is that you can see just how much baggage you have as a person (because they weigh it). It turns out I've got about 6700 pounds of baggage. I blame it on the Italian furniture that I bought. Pressed wood is always heavier. That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
