A week ago yesterday, I moved a houseful of furniture and the detritis of 21 years of (disasterous) marriage plus a four-workstation office with data network and PBX... Took three weeks of packing to get ready and looks as though it will take two weeks of unpacking to restore some semblence of order in the new place. Cardinal rule: Arrange things, if you can, so that everything you need for your bathroom, your basic kitchen utensils and food, and your bed all go on the truck *first* so they come off the truck *last*, landing at the front of the pile, and are readily accessible to you the first night in the new place. I've moved 11 times in the past 35 years, doll, and I've learned two things: 1.) It *really* helps, emotionally, if you can spend the first night in a strange new place *in your own bed*... And 2.) This 'moving' shit doesn't get any *easier*...
