We’re in our new SHECKYmagazine HQ now… a scant 1.25 miles and one municipality away from the old HQ. We did the move over nine days, using our 85 cubic feet of space in the SHECKYmagazine Wagon and the help of a few friends– with a short trip to South Carolina in the middle of it all! We’re profoundly exhausted, our thumbs are virtually useless (!) and The Female Half of the Staff has a fat lip, slightly blackened eye sockets and soreness in her front teeth from stumbling and hitting the wall face-first while carrying two sock drawers. (Had the wall she attacked been plaster instead of drywall, she could very well have lost teeth or been knocked out cold!) Especially nice, since we had our pictures taken yesterday for our upcoming feature in the Philadelphia Inquirer (Jan. 21 is the publication date).
We’re posting this at 31 Kbps, since we’re forced to use dialup until our DSL transfers to our new address. (Once again, we can’t believe we put up with this ancient form of internet access until August of 2005!)
Some moving advice: Always move the dumbbells first! If you leave them until last, you’ll regret it– you will lack the energy to move them in the late going! Indeed, the only objects left in the old apartment are a lonely pair of dumbbells in the second bedroom/office. And what is with the thumb soreness? The Male Half remarked that his hands, fingers and forearms haven’t been this sore since he can’t remember when. To which the Female Half replied, “Not since you were single!” Nice one!
It’s off to WalMart for shelf liner and cup hooks!
