It is one week until the Grand Moving Day so I'm still pretty at ease. Everything will be evaluated into keep/sell/give/recycle categories, I'm not going to any unnecessary stuff to the new home. Everything will be packed neatly, no uncategorised sacks of indeterminates. No moving day morning panic, no carrying last things without any package in my bare hands.
Yeah right. Previous times I've ended up moving all the whatnots, tchotchke and everything. Dirty laundy, half eaten sandwiches and half-filled garbage bags. Figratively speaking, maybe.
This moving project is special in every way though, so maybe I'll be organized and prompt until the very end. I packed tentatively one box of books, weighed it in my hands and unpacked it quickly. Too heavy, will affect negatively to friendships.
One thing that I've learned is to pack a survival kit: toilet paper, towels and soap for moving help to wash their hands before eating the gigantic moving day pizza, sparkling wine to drink first morning in new home etc... Taking care of moving help satisfaction is important: drink, pizza, snack and so on. Moving in winter makes it easy, no one will probably dehydrate carrying boxes.
Packing should be done room 2 room, eg. only livingroom stuff in one box. But on the other hand, clothing and linen is a great padding in every box so I may not follow this rule.
The easiest thing is to empty kitchen shelves before moving day. It has been couscous with every thing imaginable. It has been lentils and rice, mej'adra. I've been eating oatmeal porridge with lingoberry jam and maple syrup. Both very tasty, may I add.
