Post Move Checklist
Here we go…
Number of pieces of furniture confirmed lost, never to be seen again: 1 dinette table – the chairs arrived safely though.
Number of pieces of furniture demolished beyond recognition: 2 1 tv table which is now topless and 1 metal storage shelf that has been twisted so thoroughly that it resembles demolished building rubble.
Number of pieces of furniture damaged: Still counting. So far there is a gouged roll top desk, a partially shredded dresser, a broken picture frame, demolished water bed support frame, cracked bookshelf…

Number of times I fervently wished that murder was NOT a crime:12,542.
Number of days suffering with a damnable cold: 5
Number of people VERY grateful that I am out of my father’s house: 3! Can you guess? That’s right… me, Chickie and Daddy!!!
Number of slightly befuddled but rapidly adjusting animals: 1 each dog and cat.
Number of people grateful beyond words that Daddy gave me the financial support and physical space to accomplish this: One very happy, very grateful, very tired ME.
Party to follow soon……
🙂 take care.

What a mess. A helpful note…. when you do start the party, no table top dancing. You never know if you’ll land on the floor or just get stuck inside the table. 🙂 Glad to hear you’re home.

What–you mean murder isn’t legal? Uh oh….. Oh, MAN!!!! I’d wanna kill a few movers, too, after the horrors of receiving damaged furniture. Makes opening up boxes an exercise in fear! Ain’t moving fun? Make ya wanna do it once a year, doesn’t it. Well, CONGRATULATIONS, Homeowner!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’ll make a trip to your party!

I have never heard of anyone moving more than across the street who has not ended up with some sort of horror story when they used a moving company. How, how, how does one lose the dinette table but not the chairs? Weren’t they all packed into the same van at the same time? It is a mystery. Unless it got sucked into the Great Single Sock Vortex. Then I would understand. Kinda.

Thanks for your help. I am really enjoying your diary, your moving story reminded me of my last move, from Clearwater to North Florida, a true Comedy of Errors. No, I take that back it was decidedly un-funny. Anyway, welcome to the Sunshine State, and good luck in Tampa.

That moving company has the worse ‘survival rate’ of any I’ve heard about! Worse than the guys with the pick-up truck who moved me across town for forty bucks, back in the ‘eighties! They theorized that my bentwood rocker “must have fallen off the truck” on the way, but considering the way one of them went on and on about that rocker while he loaded the truck, and raved about how much his wife w

It’s moving experiences like this that make you want to do it all yourself next time–that, or sell everything you own and start from scratch. With a sympathetic sigh…T the U

You won’t be using that moving company again!!! That’s terrible! Glad you’re finally there though now you can go about making the space your own. Thanks for the message, I’ve left her a couple of messages to let her know I got the ones she left on the diary. I wonder why she can’t leave a note. Anyway, have fun.

RYN: Well, read ALL your notes, actually–and am laughing hysterically. Except about W avenging impotent Daddy. You hit the nail directly on the head. That is the psychopathology I’m referring to: W still needs Daddy’s approval, because Jeb was the favored son. We have in the White House someone who needs therapy DESPERATELY!!

No request yet! Or was there one for Warhol?//All requests considered! Especially from Sunny….Alex

Moving is best done by renting a truck & doing it yourself.

Colds usually began with sore throat. Figured it was a colony of bugs trying to break in. Looked for something to kill them & saw a bottle of Tussin, Longs generic for Robotussin. Sipped to cover middle & sides of throat. Sore throat gone in half hour & no cold came. Have repeated that for 4 sore throats over past two years and had NO colds. Coincidence? DO EARlY!
