a few of our favorite things

The move is com­plete. The art hang­ers in the walls, the small pieces of art, the pocket change, and boxes of restau­rant matches have all been relocated.

Fight­ing off being sick the week of pack­ing –– the morn­ing of the move I suc­cumbed to a sore throat, body aches, and gen­eral exhaus­tion. Most of the move is a blur. I actu­ally slept while the con­tents of South Philly were relo­cated into their new con­tainer in Old City. Mambo movers and Mar­garet made it happen.

It’s all clear to me now. Wak­ing for the first time in the new space. We are eye deep in boxes.

Yes­ter­day we met Chris. He’s the main­te­nance guy. He’s young ener­getic and he helped us with the Com­cast sur­vey guy. The Com­cast guy was Michael. He’s a pri­vate con­trac­tor to Com­cast of course. (Let’s not go into that story right now.) There is Mike the dog­walker who we met when he walked the dog from across the street; it’s his girl­friends busi­ness. There is Claude who does some work for the land­lord; didn’t meet him just talked on the phone. Finally talked to Lynne who is going to clean the place before we move in.

It has begun.

Meet­ing new folks in a new neighborhood.

Putting each drawer in took care­ful aim.

Task com­plete. What a great job.

Craig was an amaz­ingly hard worker while help­ing us move. I think the rewards of going to the cafe for crepes and cof­fee was part of the moti­va­tion to get things done. Still, we had fun mov­ing this piece of fur­ni­ture and he put in each drawer by him­self. He was very pleased when he com­pleted the task. And helped me hang the George Nel­son clock too; mak­ing sure it was straight.

We could still use some of his help.
Maybe I’ll give him a call.

Craig is here for the month. My brother is happy to be on vaca­tion from his shel­tered work­shop. Three whole weeks! That doesn’t mean there isn’t work to do.

Yes­ter­day Mr C. did lots of labels for mov­ing our office.

Craig making labels.

A sharpie is a labeler’s best friend.

Half way there.

Half way there.

Done.

packing theme

M got a bit car­ried away with the red tape. This was on the pack­ing side of the move. It’s fun to use the tape gun and this is a par­tic­u­larly heavy pack­age. It’s a totally unplanned pat­tern. I love when moments like this hap­pen. Alas, the rug is gone now. It began to give up as we packed our things. It just couldn’t take another move. But the box still hasn’t been unpacked.
