Today is moving day for me. Here are thirteen reasons I hate moving.Â
1. Everything is so JUMBLED.
2. Boxes and bubble wrap and tissue paper are everywhere.
3. I won’t be able to visit everyone else’s Thursday Thirteen because I have to unplug my computer and get it ready to be moved… well, and I will be running around nonstop all day Thursday.
4. Even though I’ve gotten rid of so much junk, there is still more left.
5. For the past few years, each time I needed to file papers, I just stacked them in boxes instead. I figured I’d file them later. I kept filling up boxes and setting them in the storage room. Now I’ve got over TEN boxes of papers to go through - sort, discard, file, shred. I’ll work on that next week.Â
6. There are boxes on my bed that I have to move before I can go to bed for my last night’s sleep here.
7. Moving is a lot of WORK.
8. Moving involves a lot of TRASH.
9. Moving is, unfortunately, a necessary evil at times.
10. Moving makes me feel very unsettled for awhile.
11. It usually takes me at least a week or so to feel at home in a new place.
12. I’m moving in with PawPaw - and his mother is visiting this week. How’s THAT for timing?
13. I’ve cleaned out the freezer and refrigerator - so there’s no food to eat.

Moving IS a lot of work! We just helped one of our children move. Good luck!

Having just moved in January I truly do sympathize with you. It is hard work, very disorienting and each day you go to bed worn out, if you can reach the bed! Good luck on your move!
My T13 is up! Try to have a terrific Thursday!

Moving *does* suck, no question! Hope it goes well for you and that you are all settled in to your new home soon.
Have a good (if very busy!) Thursday!

I’ve had to move 19 times thanks to a mobile husband. Who now thankfully is an ex.
I don’t envy you honey! Pray everything goes smoothly, and no breakage! Good luck!
Happy TT

Moving is definitely traumatic! especially when you have to do it yourself!

Good luck on the move. Moving isn’t fun and I DON’T like it.
But I know you will enjoy that new home when you and Paw Paw get it built!

I hate moving too. But just think, once you’re in and settled in. You’ll feel so much better. It will be worth it. Take care! -Margie

Best of luck with your move! I can’t stand moving. The worst of it is packing and unpacking. When I get back from a vacation it takes me forever (sometimes as much as 2-3 weeks) to get my suitcase unpacked and put away. So moving is worse. Definitely.
Oh, and I had to comment on your post about the chain restaurants. Everyone around where I live raves about Carraba’s like it’s the best thing that ever happened to Italian food. What. EVER. I’ve eaten there three times, and every time my food was overcooked and overpriced. I hear ya!
