:rant;  as some of you know april and i are downsizing. moving from a 5 bedroom house in centennial colorado to a small (very small) 3 bedroom home in castle rock. a small town on the extreme southern end of the denver metro area on the way to colorado springs. i can hardly wait, however i really, really, really wish i could just sit back and watch someone else do it for me. we've only been in this house 3 years and you wouldn't believe the amount of junk we have accumulated. my shredder is working overtime. of course i have to confess that some of it wasn't unpacked from the last move, just packed in storage. i guess i really don't need any of it. i'm exhausted by just think about it, not to mention the packing. i haven't slept so good in ages, not to mention all the sneezing from dust. back to the boxes, thanks for letting me rant.

I hate moving too... Geesh. Make sure to take not only physical breaks from packing but also mental ones! It helps you not feel so stressed and overwhelmed :)

I am going to have to move within the year and I am dreading it.  I am told this however, if you can afford it...HIRE MOVERS!!!

Sure you still have to pack quite a few things...but the moving of the actual stuff is left to them, and it is one of those costs ($200-500) that you won't regret.  Most companies will do things such as take apart and put back together beds and pretty much put whatever you want, wherever you want it.

Well, outside of that good luck.

I haven't moved in 23 years!!!  When I do I know there is going to be a lot of work!!!  A house and 3 sheds full of stuff!!  I think a lot will be sold or gone to the garbage dump!!  I'll probably find things that I have lost and even forgotten I owned!!!

we do have someone coming with a truck and 3 men to do the actual move, the furniture and all the boxes i am now packing. packing is what i hate, i'm exhausted!!!!!! i'm considering dynamite. my daughter says leaving everything behind and buying all new is not an option.

The only advantage to moving is that it helps you get rid of stuff. I have stuff I don't need. Come get some stuff!

I agree with boxman if you haven't used it in 3 years you don't need it!!!  I go through my closet about once a year. If I haven't worn something in a long time it is gone!!!  I figure somebody else might like it better than me and wear it!!

I was told years ago that one moving is equal to three hurricanes and an earthquake!   I can't stand it, but I love being in a new place!  We just moved into a bigger apartment (still one bedroom but much more comfortable with a view to die for).  we are in the same compound with the same landlady.  we love it.   There was not much moving since we moved from a furnished apartment to a furnished apartment - just our personal stuff had to move.  My daughter did the most of it two weeks ago when I was spending a weekend in St.Thomas (lovely girl, isn't she!)

i just made things a bit easier on us. 1-800-got junk is coming next week to haul away the corner unit in my room. i point they take. what could be easier than that. this is something that can't be donated and we'd have to rent a truck to haul it to the dump. they will also give us a price for taking some other stuff that can be donated. (with arc or salvation army you have to have the stuff on the curb) i'm willing to pay to have 2 guys come in and haul it off. i'm beginning to feel a bit better.
