Funk Babblings

The move is done! My stuff is here! In fact my stuff is piled high everywhere and we can barely get to the computers.

Yesterday we skipped work to recuperate and try to put things back together a bit. We returned the truck without too much difficulty, though I was either charged $20 too much or not charged anything at all.

And today we're back to work, and I continue to do little things to put the house back together, as well as planning how to get rid of some of my excess stuff in the garage, and gradually reintegrating myself into Columbus culture while exploring the more immediate surroundings (Pataskala to Buckeye Lake, Newark to Lancaster).

As of last Saturday, I am no longer a North Canton resident. I moved in with duriyah, changing my residence by about 130 miles southwest and putting me about half an hour east of Columbus.

The move didn't go entirely smoothly, however. ( Read more... )

So this week I've been working from my new home, and living out of boxes. I can't quite unpack many of the boxes yet because I don't have the shelves and drawers and such that things go on or in.

But we're heading out on a nice long vacation tomorrow morning. Then in September we can try to again to tackle this move, this time with a big truck. And furniture. (And if anyone wants to help at either end, let us know!)

This Saturday I'll be moving from the North Canton house where I've lived for six years to duriyah's house 30 miles east of Columbus. I've been gradually moving things down there for some weeks already (what would fit in my little car), and I suspect I won't manage to get quite everything packed up in time, but this weekend will be when I rent the moving van and get at least the big stuff.

So I have a lot to do this week. Including working out the logistics of getting everything loaded, moved 130 miles, and unloaded, in one day, without leaving any people or cars or furniture in the wrong city.

Then, after a week to settle in, we're disappearing for a much-needed vacation to Myrtle Beach. I'm sure by then it'll be needed even more.
