Moving. Bah. It's right up there with death and divorce in terms of stress. The ironic thing is that I help folks who are moving and/or relocating in one way or another. It's my job, but I. don't. want. to. do. it. for. myself.

Bah.

Luckily, there's less 'stuff' than in previous moves and, this time, it won't be cross country or even cross 'coasts'. It will be within a few miles of the old and new place, thank goodness.

I still don't like it.

The cleaning and sorting and filing and disposing/donating/tossing of one's collected 'things' is a tedious and long task (unless you're a minimalist, which I am not) and then there's the sentimental stuff. The stuff that you start to pack into boxes and totes and whatnot, but the memories are faster than your hands and then you're smiling or crying or both and you realize you've held that one photo for several minutes now.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

I hate moving.

Almost as much as I hate the final cleaning of the old place, which is why we're getting a maid service to do that. Even if it eats up our refunded deposit, it's worth it not to do it.
