Moving day … I know, is a pain in the ass at the best of times. Nowadays, most people hire a moving company that will come in, pack everything up and haul it off to wherever you’re moving to. No muss, no fuss. My kind of move.

Not so lucky with my in-laws. They announced last Sunday that the moving company was arriving on Friday for their move to an adult facility. We’re talking over 60 years of living in one place, downsizing and then deciding what needs to go to the new apartment and what needs to stay for the estate sale … all in less than a week. Aaaaaaargh! Been there for two evenings and it doesn’t look like we made any progress. Friday is not going to be pretty.

The one and only time I did a massive move of my own household was to our present house nearly twenty years ago. Fortunately this did not involve more than a dozen years of accumulated stuff and I had several weeks to sort, box, and mark said boxes. Everything was unpacked and pretty much put away before the end of the first weekend. Not counting on that happening this weekend.

Wish me luck.
