The movers had to add another long carry ($$$) on the Sacramento side. My gated community in Gold River must have a "don't" for 80ft semi trucks. So my movers arrived with my belongings at 10:30am after transferring them to a smaller truck. I was very irritated with the Pentecostal moving quoter who missed so many large items in the quote. It still was less than my other reputable mover, but off by $1700! I wonder what it would have been had I not gotten rid of my master bedroom set and packed so much myself.
It's truly wonderful to have all my belongings in one home. After I moved from my house in La Costa, I had a filled storage unit and quickly forgot its contents. I knew that my skiing/boarding helmets were lurking in there and that I couldn't go skiing without my helmet. When I was a kid, I never wore a helmet, but those days are gone.
A helmet would have been wonderful to have worn during that skiing episode. Helmets, however, are necessary now. There are so many chaotic snowboarders boarding fast down the mountains. I was one of them when I was snowboarding. Now I just want to take it easy on my body. Snowboarding falls are quite harsh on your body. Mogul skiing---surfing the bumps---is much easier for me, since I did that for 30 years---ever since I was 7 years old.
Taking it easy sounds good to me in general. I would love for this move to be over, but now I have to unpack. Looking at all the boxes I constantly ask myself why I didn't throw out more. Looking at the boxes I wonder if I should unpack my china and doll collection, or find a place to store the large, packed boxes. Looking at all the boxes I tell myself that I'm going to have to convince the owners to sell this condo to me, so I don't have to move again. I loath the thought of moving again.
