We made a start on seriously packing up stuff this weekend. Things are now in boxes, real things we are taking with us. Mostly the decorative stuff we really don't need day to day for living. The stuff that makes a place feel less barren and livable in even though it is there for purely cosmetic purposes. That alone was 18 boxes. Today we have 100 boxes turning up ready to be filled with more stuff and I suspect we won't finish there. You end up with a lot of stuff after more than a decade living somewhere and being together for a couple of decades. True we have thrown away or donated a ton of stuff already but there is a lot we are taking with us.
I think the only awkward bit about moving all this stuff is that once the movers take it they won't deliver it to the new house for a few days which means basically living in the caravan (or at least sleeping) until it turns up. The timing is such that we can't move in a single day with the distance involved like we did before when moving within California. A shame really but as long as we can feed ourselves and the cats have somewhere comfy to sleep in the house we will be ok. A small discomfort for the long term benefit of a nice new quiet place to live in.
Basically now though, other than the physical moving, life is a series of bits of paperwork. Various documents the bank needs, or need to be signed for the selling/buying or just documents so that people can justify their fees it seems. Nothing strenuous a tall, just lots of busy work going on.
