From time to time in our lives most of us find ourselves moving. We might move into an apartment, or into a new house. Moving can be one of the most grueling activities, aside from the fact that we are picking up our lives, and changing into a new environment. Why did I say that moving can be one of the most grueling activities? Because of all the moving and lifting, and all the hard work. Luckily, we don’t remember all of this pain once we are settled into our new home.
I remember just how painful my most recent move was in August of 2006. We tried to load the big furniture and everything else, and tried to finish it by just one day. We thought we could do it by just one day because we didn’t have much stuff. When we load all the things inside the truck, we found out that we did not have enough space to put the rest, so we did extend the rent for one more day. It was so much headache, not only were we moving our entire home, but also moving quite a distance across town. This increased the struggle immensely compared to moving a short distance, yet the worst part of it was we moved in the summer time when everyday is a hundred and ten degrees daily.
Trying to be smart about the move, we moved as much as we could in our cars days before we did the big move with a moving truck. What we didn’t realize at the time was that these smaller transports would tire us out quickly even before the day of the big move came, primarily because of the heat and distance involved. It took a dozen times of load for the little things to move, we thought it would take only a couple load. We learned our lesson trying to move as much as possible in just one trip. It was a big mistake.
It has now nearly a year and a half since we moved into our new home. I can’t remember the last time I thought about how we suffered during those days. I recall we do not know where to start, whom we can ask to help us out move the big furniture, for at that time we do not have extra money to pay someone, and we already max our credit card out. Moreover, our savings was wiped out too. There are times that we had to take an off just to get everything ready from the apartment that we are moving out from in time to meet the deadline, so that we can get the retro pay from our landlord. Now we are free to live happily in our new relaxing and comfortable home. No more packing and lifting at least for a few more years. We are very thankful that the suffering of moving does not stay in our memory.
