Moving is killer after you have accumulated stuff.
True to that. When we moved from our TH to the rental condo last year, we shed a lot of that "accumulated stuff" that you mention. Goodwill and Habitat for Humanity loved us.


And guess what? There are things in the storage unit that are still in the boxes. If those things are still in the boxes when we move from here to Florida, those things are going away too. Makes the moving bill a whole lot cheaper too.

It was 59 degrees yesterday morning when I went for my morning run.  59 degrees, in late July, in Central Texas.  Incredible.  This has been a very mild summer for us.

We're not moving but we did have most of the house interior repainted, and we're replacing most of the flooring, so we basically had to pack up as if we're moving.  It does indeed suck, almost as much as OU.

And Fearless, the house angled across the corner from me is up for sale.  You're in luck!

Hell, where you live I think probably 16 of us could go in on one house, and move there.

Are heat waves a new thing?
Of course not. But their amplitude and frequency can be new. I don't study this, so I don't have those numbers for you. Just pointing out that you can dismiss the idea as incorrect simply because heat waves have been around for longer than our country.

I don't dismiss anything with regard to weather. Anything is possible, it seems.

I've been fortunate to move about every 10 years lately, affords me the chance to shed.  This is first move w kids in tow, and they have stuff.  Fortunately this is a one mile move.

Moving is moving. 1 mile or 1000. We had the 1 mile too. It still sucked balls.

I moved two houses over, about 200 feet.  I had Two guys and a van help with some large stuff.  They laughed and asked if it was OK they didn't use their van.

I still had boxes of "stuff" I was too tired to deal with.  I had a box of old SI magazines from WAY back and other stuff like that, newspapers.  It took a change in state of mind to get rid of it.

The other thing is those souvenirs we buy on vacation?  Don't.  They look cute in a shop, but they end up in boxes, or even if displayed you never look at them.

I tell everyone, there’s a moment in each move where you think the same thing. 

“I could burn all this stuff and buy new stuff. Would that actually make me happier in this moment?”

I remember as a youngster having heat waves. They seemed to come more often than they do now, BUT..

Schools were not air-conditioned and the one unit we had in the window would not keep up very well. We managed.

I've had that moment during both of our recent (2007, 2018) moves. I'll have it again in a year or two. And I might do it too. Just start over, save for a few items.

The wife insisted we start over, with few exceptions.  She had a nice sectional sofa in the old place and wanted to ditch it.  I convinced her it would work in the new place, and she says I was right about that.  She wanted to ditch the washer and dryer, I convinced her to keep them as well.  I kept some office furniture, her office is almost entirely new stuff.

The company we hired to sell our stuff ripped us off, the wife had experience with them and liked them, but from the buying side (Everything but the House).  They really ripped us off, could not account for some nice items they were supposed to sell but "didn't", they claimed.  She bitched and got a couple hundred from them to go away.

Somehow I left my flight bag with my license and headphones and whatnot in the old basement, I missed it I guess.  I have an autographed Herschel photo on my wall and another of UGA going after the Auburn receiver.

We had a helluva time getting stuff delivered down here.  There were 4-5 things we canceled because they didn't deliver when they promised, they'd say no one was home.

Our new dining room table came busted.  My entertainment center came as a coffee table.  Delivery down here sux I guess because there is so much going on.
