The move is over

So happy to hear you have survived. Although I am surprised that the apartment was not already spotless before your started to unpack. Gissi will have plenty of new smells to keep him occupied while you get rested up.!

Hey there Sweetie. You best be taking it easy. If I were nearer to you I would have made certain that you didn't lift a finger to move. You don't need to make yourself ill. I am hoping to make a move within the next few months. Not really looking forward to packing everything, but the thought of a new place gets me giddy. Big huggers to you and Gissi.

I moved a little over 4 years ago, wasn't fun, all the way from Los Angeles to Sacramento. The day we moved in was pouring rain and we have a very steep driveway. It doesn't totally feel like home though and I suspect I'll have to be moving in the not too distant future. Don't over do! But how is Gissi going to manage without a computer? :-)

Hey Gaby, We finally moved on Wed. the 3rd. My hubby is still going back and forth to the house trying to tie up loose ends. I am so exhausted and my lungs and stomach just hurt and I keep having to rest with my oxygen on. I don't know how you managed all alone. At least I didn't have to scrub the place. I just wrote a whole paragraph just to look up and see it not there. grrrr!! Hubby moved 3 bedrooms, a garage and 3 closets full of stuff into this 2 bedrrom and very little storage apartment. Now I'm going to unpack and repack stuff we have no room for and donate it to the needy. I hope I have learned this time to stop being such a pack rat!!! It's killing me. How is Gissi adjusting? Dexter is doing pretty good except when we both leave for a little while. He poops in the apt. to let us know he doesn't appreciate being left alone. I don't blame him but he also hates going in the car. Well sweetie, don't work too hard. Hugssss Leenie

Have you ever watched birds in the Spring, that's how we are when we move, the nest building instinct is very strong. Time to sit back and have a cup of tea. How's the dog doing?

Good Lord, Gabs ! Stop and take several breathers. You are not going to get it all done in one day- Ok, so blah, blah ! I am glad to hear you are ok and warm. We miss you here! quita 88

moving is such a chore! i also hate when you move into a dirty place. fortunately, the last place i moved into was ok, not that dirty and the landlord cleaned it up quite a bit before i got there. get some rest and enjoy your new place!

Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy!I'm so happy to hear that the move is done and that your getting all settled, BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do take care of yourself! Relax missy! Don't be overdoing it! All my love to you and gissi! XxXxXx

Hugzzzz gabs sweets have missed you I've been missing in action again lol.....Am glad to hear that you are all settled in your new place but please take it easy ok as easy as you can.....

Well you know I'm planning a move very soon. But regardless, I will NOT be settled down until YOU are! You better be having a cuppa and sitting on your butt as you read this or I'll have to reach through the screen and smack you! LOL

hI gABS, GOOD TO HEAR FROM U. SO GLAD U ARE MOVED & ARE WARM. tAKE IT EASY & JUST DO AS U FEEL LIKE IT. i HAVE TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME. dON'T LIKE THAT I CAN'T DO LIKE I USE TO BUT THANKFUL I CAN DO, LOL, U will get everything done but i know if u are anything like me u wanted it done yesterday.Good luck & take care. Don't worry it will be there waiting for u when u do feel like doing it.

Hi sweet, You have been very naughty but I do understand why you had to clean and scub so much, and I know that you want the place nice and clean and become your home, not having someone elses dirt hanging about, but you really have to look after yourself and rest as much as possible, DO YOU HEAR!!! love and hugs. Tamara xxxxx

I have not moved but I'm hoping to this year. I look forward to it but not the packing and unpacking. I'm like you I work and work till I can't do anymore. Its best that you rest for a few days to get your body rested to finish the job. Good luck to you and sorry about the internet that is a long time to wait. Stay healthy!

Congrats on getting the place cleaned up and on your move. I hope you enjoy it. I haven't moved in about 5 years, and I don't plan to move again for another 50. (Now that would make me 110; that should do.) I built a new house in 2005 and did all the cleaning up after construction myself. It took me months to get every room cleaned up and stuff moved in, but now, I'm on the last "project". I have a little piece of the yard to de-weed, lay down weed retardant, pick up and lay down native rock and plant three trees. (Then I'll probably start all over, painting, re-varnishing, window cleaning...NOT!)

Everyone told you to take it easy. Now, take care of yourself and pace yourself, it doesn't all have to be done yesterday. Right that's your telling off over, glad you're settled and warm. Hugs to you and I hope you will be happy in your new home.

Gabs I am so glad you have gotten moved. i do not think I know what settled down really is and I never move. I will look forward to hearing about the adventure of you and Gissi getting moved. Meanwhile rest up a bit. I am only going to one or two more discussions then I am calling it a night.

The Rental Authority law here requires a house to be commercially cleaned before a new tenant moves in. Wasn't the house cleaned? Were the new carpets, stove and shower in? Have arrangements been made re the painting? Gaby I KNEW you would overdo things but I was hoping you wouldn't - and didn't think you would need to have to clean as well as unpack. P-L-E-A-S-E take it easy! How is Gissi liking it? Does he have his chewies? and his cushions? It won't be long before he has the whole town loving him. Please take care.

Gabs!!! So good to see you and to hear that you've made the move (tho Lakota told us you had.) I hear ya about having to do things in bits, I'm way behind again here on the lot because I've been doing things at the house (or recovering from doing them!) I saw your note, tho, and HAD to respond to YOU!!! we LOVE you Gabbers!!! (that's what we call Gabby cat when she's being especially cute!)

Hi Gabs, I am glad that you finally got moved and that you are finally warm..Sorry you had to do so much cleaning..It has been three years since I moved to another state..I bought a house and it needed some cleaning..Fortunately I have a sister who helped me .She would not let me do too much because I also have breathing problems and other health problems..My son also helped with the cleaning.. You get plenty of rest and take care of yourself. Hugs to you and Gissi.

I remember when I moved it felt like all the work that had to be done would never end. But, eventually we got the things out of boxes and we have what appears to be an apartment instead of a storage unit. So that's always good. THough don't over do it with the cleaning, that's an endless process in itself.
