Wow that does shorten your time some!

Suggestions about packing, don't read if you already know how ! LOL Ok, now I've moved more than I wish to admit.... gather all the supplies you can at once, then when you need something, it's right there, and way you go... boxes of all types and sizes, black markers to label them, packing tape and dispenser, scissors, shredded paper or bubblewrap, newsprint/newspaper, acid free tissue paper, FRAGILE labels etc. Make sure you mark each box as to what ROOM it came from (or what room you want it to GO to when moved) I hesistate to put what's in the box, as it makes it too obvious for movers or onlookers, you know? I used color dots because the last 2 moves, not all the movers could read lol. sigh. Remember you can put small things in small boxes and pack the smaller boxes into the larger ones to help handle them. Mark boxes on at least 2 adjoining sides, 3 or all if you have time. Figure out a plan... do you wish to pack a whole room at a time, or do you want to grab all the "wall hangings' first then all the nick knacks,, etc. The more you can stand in one place, pulling boxes, assembling, marking, filling, taping the faster you get it done. Pack things tightly... any movement makes it more likely something will break, and also makes it harder to handle (if weight shifts inside it.)

Sigh. I will keep you in mind... moving is so stressful... but it isn't a forever event, and relief comes when it's all over! You can do this, I know you can! (((hugs)))) B r e a t h e good thoughts is GREAT thinking lol
