You thought this was gonna be about the elections!
No, I'm referring to my move to a new house. I took a week off of work and spent dozens of hours moving stuff. My back and legs are still aching. I underestimated how long it would take to move stuff and we were literally throwing things into garbage bags as the new owners were coming up the driveway to inspect the house. After the closing I still had 4 carloads of stuff to move, plus 20 large bags of trash to clear out. I finished at 1 in the morning.
Consequently, we've barely begun to unpack. I can't find anything. My garage/workshop is a mess of boxes and tools. I can't get my home computer network going--switched to a cable modem from DSL.
On the positive side--we are now in town and within walking distance of kids' schools, music teachers, most of their friends, the grocery store, and even my work. I was able to convince my wife that the old furnace room should become a minishop for me to use mainly during the winter--moved my bandsaw, lathe and minilathe in there. (Haven't got to use it yet, though.) And, there is no ticking clock to unpack. At least until the lease expires next year...
