Update #4

Everything's in the new house. It's all terribly unorganized and chaotic, but it's here. I just set up our bed, Alfred just pulled in the driveway, and we finally get to go to bed. Tomorrow: back to the old house to clean. The fun just never stops! :)

Update #3

Everything from the first load is in the new house, and Mercedes and I have been unpacking and organizing. Alfred and Ilya went back to the old house to get the last of the furniture and the washer and dryer. Fun trivia question: how many expired phone books were in our old kitchen? Winner gets to come figure out how to arrange furniture in the new living room!

Update #2

Max came, we packed his car, he left and will meet us at the house later. Alfred left a little while ago with the packed truck and trailer. Charles arrived, we packed his car, Alfred's car, and Ilya's car, and are now caravaning to the new house. Unfortunately everything didn't fit, so we'll be making another trip with at least a couple of vehicles, but we're making progress!

Addendum

Update #1

Ilya, Mercedes, and Mister arrived. The human men are loading up the trailer. I'm still packing. Mercedes and Mister are sitting on the couch in the trailer. I'm on my first beer.

D day

D as in disaster, or maybe dreaded. Yeah, I like dreaded. We've been up and packing since about 7, and I'd say we're about 85% packed. Lots of random little stuff still needs a place to go. There was a slight issue with the moving truck, so instead we're loading up a caravan consisting of a borrowed pick up truck, a rented trailer, Alfred's car, Ilya and Mercedes' car, Charles' car, and Robyn's car. Alfred's already taken several loads of boxes in his car over the past couple of weeks, so really it's a matter of fitting all the furniture. Thinking positively!
