Moving Day

Well today is the day. I am moving today. The movers will be here in about 15 minutes and I thought I would take a moment to post. I am not a fan of moving. This stems from several sources. I back in my early 20's I moved five times in one year. Back then I had significantly fewer pieces of crap. You ever noticed how people who are pack rats don't call themselves pack rats but if you asked any of their friends they would (probably giggling) confirm their pack rat status.

I admit it, I am a pack rat. I know that there are folks out there that are worse but I figure that if you have to have movers over two days... you have too much crap. And thought most of it I would fight to keep, I also know that most of it is truly crap. But darn it, it is MY crap.

OK so I have this sword collection. Yes, full size swords. Only two of them are sharp, but even those that aren't could probably cause damage. They are mounted on the walls, so that means not only do they have to be packed so they don't damage anything, they also have to be "dislodged" from the walls.

I have a large DVD collection. So far, I have filled 4 banker boxes and I have not finished. Some of them are really good, some not so much. But most of them I have seen more than once. When I realized that, I was a little surprised.

OK so other crap... I have what can only be described as TONS of books. Some of them are pleasure reading, but most are text books (yes I even use them... just this week I used 3 old text books - so there!). With that many books comes the inevitable book cases.

Which brings me to furniture. For someone moving out of a dorm room, I have a surprising amount of furniture. Granted, I had my own condo before I moved here but that is only a partial excuse.

OOOh movers are hear... guess I will have to say more later
