Not having to deal with the commute, no matter what form it takes, means less stress at the start of your day. Achieving more rest, because one does have to get up as early is a big plus as well. Expand i agree Reader1810, also small projects at home get done as well with no travel time. 5
kbois Posted May 22, 2022 Posted May 22, 2022 I'm not a fan of moving. It feels like I've done it a million times in my life, although it's probably closer to a couple dozen. Packing sucks. It sucks even more when you realize no one reads actual newspapers anymore! At least no one I know! I'll have to hit up some of my residents and see if anyone still gets the paper. Otherwise it's off to the dollar store for some rolls of cheap wrapping paper. Luckily I've downsized a lot of 'collectibles' over the years and don't have a lot. At least it's a local move and I can take a carload up everyday. No newspaper... 21st century conundrum! 😆 5

Expand When I moved in 2019 I bought the Saturday editions at the small grocer in the building next to mine. Thinking about it now, the dollar store probably would have been more economical. Heck, they might even have had packing paper. Good luck with your move K. Packing what you want to keep and throwing out or donating what you don’t want to take with you is defo a lot of work. 4

You'll thank me later when you don't have to scrub the ink off of you hands or off of your dishes and glasses and counters. And you're right, packing does suck. Bigly. P.S. That dang double quote just happened to me. Edited May 22, 2022 by spyke 5
