I Hate Moving!
Maybe hate is too strong a word. Maybe one of these is better: abhor, despise, detest, loathe, disdain, disfavor, can't stand, object to, recoil from, or shudder at. (Thank you Thesaurus.com!) However, because I have done it so much, I often joke that I should start a moving company!
I'm in the process of moving again, but it's a little different this time. This SHOULD be my last move, but I've said that before. Also, we are sort of taking our time with this move. I'm stuck paying for the rental house in Hiram until the end of July, so we are moving a few boxes at a time. Unfortunately, we are about to have the living/dining room carpet replaced, so we have had to rent a small storage unit until that's completed.
The other "problem" facing us is that Eric and his friend Kevin are currently living in the house in Dahlonega. That means we can't fully move in until they find a place and move out. As we've discovered, there aren't very many place for them to rent in Dahlonega, but time is running out.
Lastly, there are several repairs that need to be done to the house, as it is 20 years old. Just general maintenance things, like roof repair, replacing the front ramp with steps, and doing some repairs on the back deck. There will also be some other things that may go wrong soon: water heater, air conditioner, etc. We've already replaced the washer and dryer and the dishwasher.
The good aspect is that we aren't rushed. We still have plenty of packing to do, and if we can move those boxes as we complete them, that will mean that we only need to use the rental truck for furniture and the few appliances we have. Being a veteran of so many moves- not just my own but helping siblings and children move- I am quite good at loading a truck, if I do say so myself. In fact, it's always a challenge to get everything in, but I manage to do it. We have also downsized quite a bit, with more to do. I'm hoping we can get by with a 20-foot truck rather than our usual 26-footer.
Until next time, may your day and your loved ones be blessed!
