It’s moving time again. I’m no stranger to it – in fact, I am very good at moving. I’m organized, well packed and pretty good about not holding to things I no longer want or use. My furniture is a bit weathered and carries the scars of moving people not caring about my stuff as much as I do. They try, but if you stuff a truck full, something is bound to get scuffed. We need to move by the end of August, and I already have half the house packed, and the packing supplies required to do the second half.
There is a plan for the cat; a system for labeling, packing and unpacking; storage units selected; and plans to review clothes, possessions and furniture for weeding out.
Yeah. I am really good at moving. How did I get this way? Well, a review of my mailing addresses in my first 38 years may help to explain:
