Update on the move

Rags's picture

The packing crew showed up at 0900 on Monday and drove off with our stuff at 2130. The apartment is a bit cold and echo-ee without our art and carpets to warm it up and tone it down a bit.

I have survived.... for now. Tuesday and Wednesday were closely run things as far as my survival is concerned but Thursday and today are safe... so far.

The doghouse makes for very cramped living quarters and she lets me in the apartment periodically to cook and pick up the kitchen. She did comment to friends during a Thanksgiving gathering last evening that if I was not doing the cooking for the past couple of weeks we would be starving.

I commented on the 14 pairs of shoes she has set aside for packing in our suit cases. We will be living out of those 4 bags for probably the next 4-6mos. Of course half of her shoes will go in my second bag. It was probably not a good idea for me to have brought up the shoes so near the culmination of the pack it yourselfe vs. let the packers do it discussion.

On some things I am a bit slow. But my bride believes I am still trainable so hopefully I will get to move inside from the dog house before it gets too cold.

Did you use any of the packers and movers that advertise here regularly?

Oh I gave you advice how to get out of the dog house Rags... spa voucher or foot rub with nothing attached to it, \that will get you right back into the empty bedroom, or turn off the heat in the house and let her freeze, she will be calling you to use your warm body for warmth....

Never ever mention anything about a woman's shoes... never you can be glad you got the dog house, most woman would've moved without you.....

Yikes, 14 pairs of shoes when there is only 4 suitcases, and two of the suitcases are yours? I'd put my foot down and not let her use my suitcases. Your stuff needs their own suitcases IMO.

I have a lot of shoes as well and that's not including my boots!!! Nothing wrong with having lots but when it comes to suitcases I like mine to only house my own stuff.

Don't get me wrong. My bride's shoes are beautiful and I have picked out several of her favorites over the years. However, I have no desire to wear them. The same goes for her lingerie. I am happy to help her shop for it ... but have no interest in wearing it.

So, no worries as far as me wanting to wear your shoes. Wink
