Congratulations for dumping a lot of "stuff"! It is so freeing to declutter. Five years ago my husband and I moved from Colorado to California. We had lived on our 9 acre property for over 20 years and boy had things accumulated. I got rid of so much and it felt so good that I'm determined to keep things more streamlined from now on.
Moving is incredibly stressful! I hope everything goes smoothly, your drive is safe and you quickly find a place to live. Good luck and keep us posted on how things go. |

Thanks everyone! Knowing you are cheering us on really does help.
![]() I got rid of even more stuff. Today is putting the rest in boxes like the kitchen, my bedroom and my computer. also got to get my PC backed up and of course my Calibre library on my different drives and in the cloud. I stubbed my toe last night *groans* the same one I broke earlier this year. Now it's throbbing and hubby never listens when I tell him to lay off the sweets or stay on the Motrin so his gout is flaring up. Luckily it's not his driving foot but he has been dealing with this flare up since early April and we all know it's diet related. He just loves sweets way too much and they are the big trigger for his gout. *sigh* I sent him to store to get some travel things so I have a minute to write and thank you for all the support. This is my first time to Raleigh seeing we bypass each time we visit the parents who live about an hour and a half from it. I am excited, nervous and scared all into one. Sleeping is not coming easy but as one of you said moving is stressful! Booklover that was one HUGE move you did! I told hubby and his eyes about bugged out. ![]() ![]() |

Be safe, Blossom. I hope you have an uneventful trip and a good apartment hunting.

Blossom, I just wish I had gotten rid of at least 1 truckload of stuff before we moved. (But I got rid of at least that much anyhow....we had collected a lot during 15 years in that house). But with DH sick and three little kids (1 was just 1 yr old), it was pretty hard to make those kinds of decisions by myself. I swear one of the trucks was full of all toys. LOL! But HE'S the one that insisted on bringing the sections of picket fence!
Yes, a complete nightmare in every way! ![]() |

Even if the hotel doesn't have internet, you could always search out the nearest library. Raleigh seems a large enough city to have internet access in their library....
They might even have resources to help research neighborhoods, etc. |

Blossom that is awesome, you got rid of so much junk. If I ever move again I will get rid of everything and start over fresh! Well not my ereaders and tablets LOL. Furniture, toys, dishes....just leave them, sell them, give them away, trash them.
Of course my plan is, if I ever move again, to move just a short distance. So I could make a million trips in a car. Get a truck for big things. But not have to do what I did before! |

We are finally getting everything in the big truck loaded. Just got some misc stuff and then I pack up my precious computers and Kindles. We hope to pull out for Raleigh tomorrow, Thursday morning. I am sleeping on the floor tonight and I don't care. I am so tired I can barely blink.
