I'm moving my house Monday and Tuesday. I'm only going 1/2 block but it's still a huge ordeal, not to mention I'll be without high speed internet, cable tv and telephone service for a few days.

I do have a laptop with WWAN that allows me to connect without a hotspot, so I'll be logging on to push any stuck comments through, but my content may be light. TChris and Big Tent Democrat may stop in, so check back.

Have I mentioned how much I hate moving?

    Old Southern saying - "Three movings is like a burning." Good luck!

    Hopefully you sold in the real estate bubble and you will be renting for a few years until prices drop.

    Well, best wishes, and remember that the value of change is the opportunity to make things better, so I hope it runs ut that way for you.

    I hate moving too. I once moved from a down stairs apartment to one up stairs and the only thing I was thankful for was that I didn't have to rent a truck. Moving is one of the most stressful things we do, no matter how close the move is. Then, of course, there is the unpacking! Hope all goes smoothly. Take a few minutes for yourself today, you deserve the break!

    jeralyn, i feel your pain! good luck. the best thing that can be said about moving, regardless of the reason for it, is that it gives you a great opportunity to get rid of all that stuff you've allowed to pile up around the house. i'm sure there's something else positive to say for it, i just can't think of it at the moment. lol good luck!

    Two suggestions, make an appointment for a massage on Wednesday and have a hot fudge sundae on your way to the appt.

    Ok. Here come the moving nightmares. I moved 7 times the first ten years I was married. Many of those with two little kids. But thankfully it's been 10 in this house and I hope to be here a while longer.

    Are you actually having the house moved?

    If you have a lot of stuff to move it's really a pain, but it does have it's funny side too. Here's a couple of thoughts from commenters over an Ann Althouse's law blog, just to lighten the mood: In order to get me to move, there has to be some sort of otherworldly force that comes in and hits me in the face. A flood. A fire. An earthquake. Drugs and prostitution outside my window. Noise. Those are all signs from up above telling me to get out. Short of that, nothing can make me move.

    You said you were "moving your house" 1/2 block. If you are indeed actually moving your house rather moving into a different house - that's a project! Of course, it might still be preferable - you could leave everything upstairs in place & just throw-out whatever fell & broke.

    I'm moving to a different place 1/2 block away, not moving the house. Thanks for all the kind words. I think the hardest part will be the unpacking everything Tuesday night and Wednesday and re-hooking up all the computers (4, 3 desktops and a laptop), printers, scanners, fax and tvs (3), each with cable boxes, dvd recorders, vcr's, etc.

    It's only when you go to move that you realize how much useless crap you accumulate.
