The Worst Part of Moving
I think, as a reader, I would have to say that the worst part of moving is moving my books.
Not that I’m terribly anal about them or worried they’re going to get battered on the trip… Well, maybe there’s a touch of that. Just a touch. But that’s not the worst thing. The Worst Thing is that they take up so much space and are so freaking heavy once they’re packed. I mean, look at my collection here…
Granted, it’s only four or five boxes. Not a big deal… if each of them didn’t way somewhere in the area of TWO HUNDRED POUNDS.
Someone please remind us to rent a dolly with the truck. Either that or someone recommend a good physical therapist who can help us rehabilitate from the injuries we are going to suffer trying to move these things… — Mrs. Hall
My husband said that he hated moving my books and is happy when I get rid of one but I probably replace it with three more. I have been trying to get mostly paperback books.
