Chris and I just moved to an awesome apartment overlooking Dolores Park in the Mission. (We’re taking over a 1-year lease from some friends who will presumably move back at the end of the year.) It’s been one of the most draining moves ever, mostly because of how long it’s lasted!
First, I sold all my furniture in San Diego so I could fit my life belongings into my Honda Civic! Then we drove Hwy 1 from SD to SF (stopping at the Sycamore Hot Springs for a night and later at Hearst Castle); and finally, spent the last week making about 7 car trips of boxes and things from Chris’ place in SOMA to the new place in the Mission. Finally, we hired movers (OneBigMan) yesterday to move our furniture (so worth it!).
I’ve now been in “moving” mode for about 2 weeks and I’m exhausted! I haven’t done any work in this time except review one paper and have a one phone meeting. Sigh. Our days have been so packed, we pass out from utter exhaustion every night. (Quite a different feeling than a long day on the computer!) But we are nearly done!
What’s been interesting to add to this mix is that we’ve both been selling several things we’ve owned (or acquired through the years) — which has amounted to quite a chunk of change! What better way to fiance our move? In the last 2 weeks, we’ve collectively sold enough things to make $1410! Sweet!
