Packing progress: 20 boxes packed so far, 15 of them during the Oscars last night. (I think I enjoyed the commercials, especially the Tiger Woods "Caddyshack" commercial, more than I did most of the awards ceremony to be honest.) We've got 15 boxes of books and some videotapes and some CDs, and it feels like we've barely made a dent in the shelves; I did get one entire bookcase packed, which helps me feel like I'm getting somewhere. God, I hate moving. Well, to be more precise, I hate packing all my stuff up and then unpacking it again. Oh yeah, and schlepping boxes up and down stairs. That reminds me of something I ganked from alt.sysadmin.recovery a while ago for a .sig quote:

Funny, at one point, I was almost completely sure moving was
easy to do, since it was, basically a: 
tar cf - $HOME | ssh new_home 'tar xf -'  
but I was delusional, as I  soon found out. ;)

Ah, if only...

Tonight I'm taking a break from packing up anything other than books to be shipped to serenejournal, as allergy season seems to have kicked in early this year and I want nothing more than to surgically remove my sinuses. I'll worry about reading the new lease tomorrow when my head is less fuzzy.

At least it is begun...

I sympathize, since we're doing the same thing, as you know. Ray packed all the books -- I think about 20 boxes, maybe more. All this almost makes me wish we'd decided to pay the movers to pack, but $800 seemed a bit much for something we have more than 3 weeks to do.
