Monday Open Thread

I've got my cable and internet, but no phones yet. I've unpacked more than 100 boxes, and have 40 left to unpack. GotJunk has already removed 2 truckfuls of stuff and my 10 × 10 storage locker is full. This has been my most expensive move yet -- $3,500. for the movers (here and to storage) and $800 and still rising for GotJunk. And this is after having donated or thrown away at least one third of my stuff the last few days at the old house. Since I've also lost a week of work, it will be a few days before I'm back to blogging.

On the up side, I really like the new place and downsizing is really liberating.

Monday Open Thread: Moving Week

This is moving week for me. I haven't seen the news in a week, so I won't even try to blog. I will put up open threads. Thanks to those of you sending emails pointing out new spammers, I deleted the last 40. My life and blogging should be back to normal next week. (My actual move out/move in date is Thursday.)
