Moving is Hard

Moving is hard.

Melissa and I aren’t moving, but we did end up being two of many folks recruited to help our friend Christine move. I had forgotten how absolutely draining it can be. The good news is, as I mentioned, there was a lot of help. There was also a nice, big truck to load everything up in. All in all, the move was a success (I think).

The effort (for Melissa and I anyway) started around 1pm, and finished up finally around 9pm (ish). Apparently work had been ongoing before we arrived, although it seems to have been mostly packing. There were only a couple items in the truck when we arrived, but we quickly remedied that situation.

Anyway, all-in-all, it was fun and challenging and tiring. I’m going to sleep now!
