welp, all our stuff is in our new apartment, as of yesterday. last night, Xan and I tag-teamed setting up my desks in the corner of the office

today I've hired someone to clean my apartment bc I have more money than energy (not that I have a lot of money, but, y'know ... even less energy), and when that's done, I'll turn in my keys and be officially out

then it's just a combo of sleeping a lot and unpacking. I AM hoping that this move will reset my sleep schedule ... I've had to wake up so early (for me) so many days in a row. maybe from now on I'll wake up at 9am instead of 2pm

We keep losing rolls of packing tape, and I suspect they're somehow making their way in to the very boxes they're meant to be sealing. We've lost three so far today.

#MovingSucks

Shopping around for a moving truck or pod is tiring. Nobody will give you a quote without surrendering your email address and phone number so they can send you continual "Let us help you with your move!" emails and texts.

They always ask when I am moving. They want an exact date, and seem frustrated when I tell them that I don't know yet. I haven't exactly pinned that down at this time and am just gathering information right now. I hate this.

I wish there was a web site like booking a flight, but for moving trucks. I want to see a list of trucks or pods that can get me from here to there, and I can compare and sort by different criteria. Is that too much to ask?

One of the fun parts of moving is purging. Thinking as I set up the office and everything is plugged in around the house, that it might be time to purge a few of these. #moving #movingsucks #Apple #tech

Good morning. Whew. The Unicorn has a new home as the Big Move was accomplished in a speedy and thorough 3.5 hours thanks to a deft crew. Now we prepare to unpack and simultaneously live out of boxes for awhile. #moving #movingsucks, #photography #Chicago #today #unicorn

Down to seeds and stems as the great moving adventure continues. #moving #movingsucks #today

Once the unicorn gets packed in the truck then you know the move is real. #moving #movingsucks #photography

Good morning. The big move adventure continues as we wait for the furniture movers to arrive. #moving #movingsucks #today #Chicago #photography

You know you’re moving when you see the back of your iMac for the first time in forever and remember that the color is quite vibrant. #moving #movingsucks #iMac #mac #Apple

Moving sucks. Especially when those with levitation powers don’t use their powers to help out. #moving #movingsucks #Grogu

Good morning. Spring continues springing. Moving continues to suck. iPad discussions are zany. #Summer #Photography #BloomScrolling #Chicago #Today #moving #Movingsucks #iPad

Good morning. Spring springs on and moving is prickly. #Spring #Photography #Moving #Movingsucks #BloomScrolling #Chicago #Today

Taking a break from packing to move to do a little yardwork. #moving #movingsucks

We may purge and donate clothes as we pack for the Big Move 2024, but that’s not the case for Books. Just packed 20 boxes full. Probably another 20 boxes worth to go.

Prepping to pack for the big move and to donate a large pile of clothes no longer needed since I lost so much weight during the last decade. #moving #movingsucks

Piano move accomplished. Guess we’re really moving. Protip: The $$ to hire professionals is always worth the cost. #moving #movingsucks #piano #today
