We’re 98% done the move. Or at least, the moving-out part. Yes, its’ the 3rd and yes that means it’s taken us six days to get out of and clean up the old place.

The time of year really hurt us. Almost nobody was able to help us move because of Holidays or New Year celebrations they had to attend. We mostly carted stuff the 90 kilometres using our Kia Spectra 5. The hatchback and foldable back seats really helped with the cargo we could carry but it simply couldn’t compare with having a big truck and making less trips.

Star mover of this experience has been Tony Jones who was there for three of our five previous moving days. His huge vehicle helped cut down on several trips and he was there for us when we needed him.

Now that nearly everything is over in the new house the unpacking has pretty much begun. My office room has been my top priority, and the basis of that room is getting my computer desks put together. The big problem: We can’t find the damned screws used to put them together. Much was made of “you can’t lose these screws” when they were being dissassembled. We put them into a plastic bag which was placed into a box along with other stuff, but I’ve been through every box in this house twice now and can’t find them.

So here I sit on the one tiny table that was movable as-is. It barely fits my (huge) monitor and keyboard (er… the keyboard is regular sized) but at least I can sit down and use the computer now.

Daddy’s missed you, baby.

Update: I found the screws!
