I have moved a lot. I just want to know your experiences with moving.

I've moved a few times.
From California to Montana back to California, to Minnesota, to Texas then back to Minnesota. Now I'm going from Minnesota to Florida.
Hopefully I'll be settling down in Florida, I don't want to move for again until I retire. New Mexico is a place I really liked so I'll probably retire there when I'm old.

From moving so much I've learned to be minimalistic, and to save a lot of money, because I never know when I'll need to move again. I feel like a restless gypsy, just can't stay put for long.

I moved a lot when I was little. We went com Scotland to England to Scotland, back to England, back to Scotland and then back to England five years ago.

It was always hard for me since I never kept not term friends thanks to this. So I ended up shutting a few people out and not making any friends for a while. It was always super tiring but I just slept through the 15 hour car ride.

I’m
In the process of moving after being in the same house for eight years. It’s all the crap one accumulates that makes it tough.

I hired movers. Last time I moved I donated 25 bags of colthes and 3 bags of shoes to the DAV. Now I got a townhouse all to myself.

I just moved to our new apartment. It’s smaller than I expected. I was really uncomfortable with it at first. And, we kept having to go back and forth. From our old house, to the apartment, then back to that house. I had to carry... heavy stuff.

It’s only 2PM and I’m already exhausted...

Before you move go through all your things. Colthes and shoes go to charity. After my divorce I had 2 full trucks. Now I use a 1/4 of a truck. I need my basses amplifiers bikinis jeans shoes and music. Anything nogolstic or sentimental get rid of.

Yeah have been moving heaps of stuff to my friend's trailer whick will go to the dump. Kaz is happy the old spare bedframe and a nice pine bookshelf have gone as it was the last of the stuff from her first marriage. Countless bags of clothes have already gone to the donation bins, and I've taken heaps of useful stuff to work for the co-workers to rummage through and take. If anything remains there my last day I'll toss it in the work bin. What is left that goes with us will be picked up and moved along with the two cars and the two pets. I'll be in a sleeping bag here at the house, or maybe will rent a room in the city while I get the bond cleaning done. Finally taking a break as the rains finally came to Brisbane. I'm exhausted.

Good luck on your move congraulations to kaz on her promotion❤❤.

Thank you my friend! She is quite happy with this new job! As for me, my company want to keep me for at least twelve weeks after OI go to train my replacement and to work for the 'Gas' division. I may go part time after July. A new city, and a new adventure.
