Thanks, mystery. And I left out a few of the more annoying annoyances to the whole thing. Mike and Mark said they'd never seen a move go with such difficulty. It was one of those things where you had to be there in the suspense of the moment, not knowing how things would turn out, to get the whole impact. Let me say, however, that this move really took a lot out of me and I am glad the packing and hauling are over.
Just take care of yourself...you shouldn't have done any lifting with your back.
We've moved a great number of times. Several of them were interstate moves. Self moves, with movers. All were difficult. We are buying a house and will be moving in December and I dread that after reading your account. Hopefully this is our last move.
You're a much better woman than I! When we moved into this house 24 years ago, I vowed I'd never move again.
