Kitchen

[wagirl]

Today is the day!!! Having packers come to pack up my kitchen--am moving to my new place tomorrow---will be interesting to see how they will do it. Decided that the $500 was well worth it. My kitchen is a tiny closet sized affair so not alot of storage---HOWEVER...I have managed to cram it full. Have racks I used for vertical space too. got all the boxes and assorted padding stuff. but---already took the table and chairs to the new place----so will have to pack stuff on the floor----

I HATE MOVING!!!!

@wagirl :  I am sure the moving will be well worth it after you get to your new place.  Sounds exciting.

@Hoovermom --wellll..........I question my decision and sanity many times a day these last few months over this journey from h3ll!!! excitement is not one yet. Won't let myself think about it ----sooo much still to do. Our lease is up on the 31st when we turn over the keys. Will be back to clean and move the rest of the stuff--hopefully the movers are well versed in the art of Tetris!!!😬

Best of luck with your new place and move!  Hope your new kitchen is a bit more spacious!

Ugh. I would NEVER let anyone pack up my kitchen. I'm a very hands-on person, especially when it comes to moving. We've moved several times and I boxed and labeled everything myself. I find it creepy having strangers touching all of my stuff.

  I last moved 32 years ago . Packed all the items myself, except had  lovcal movers  haul all my large pieces of furniture for me.  Bought the movers all lunch  and it was worth paying them .  I have boxes in my basement that I never unpacked . Been digging some old  nick nacks out to  donate  . It's realy a pain to move , however that's just life.

I hope you are never forced to have to have help and people touching your stuff because of physical limitations. Its just stuff. 

Four years ago, I could pack anything myself but after having compression fractures in my spine after a fall....I can't no longer do that kind of activity. Its humbling.

 I believe @wagirl has been fighting courageously through some physical challenges, moving is hard enough without the extra challenge. I hope she gets all the help she can.

I can't say I envy you, @wagirl.  The thought of moving overwhelms me.   Hopefully you'll love your new place and make it a home you can stay in for a long time.  Post some pictures once you're settled.

Like you, EVERY time I moved, I did it myself or had a friend help me pack and label boxes. I  would NEVER have people I don't know handling my possessions.
