I'm Probably Going To Be Gone For A Few Days

[Mitchell]

As probably wont surprise most people, I'm probably going to be away from the forum for a few days after tomorrow night. My dad is supposed to come early Sat morn, and I will be with him all day Saturday packing and such. The move will be Sunday, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to sleep at his apartment on Sunday night, as I doubt they will be able to move me into my building that night, with the time required to get my furniture out of here, and then the 3-4 hr drive to NY. My guess is that I'll probably move into my apartment on Monday morning, hopefully.. I then of course have to get the cable and internet people to my apartment, with the fly in the ointment being that I dont have a TV yet, as I'm not taking my 20 year old TV from Lancaster. My friend Barney swears he's dragging me to dinner to celebrate on Tuesday night, and my aunt insists she wants to see me. Bottom line.. I have things to do..

I'm still going to be with the forum, of course. I'd never ditch my friends just because I have a new address. I just have to get settled. The crazy thing is.. my family keeps expecting me to have a "Reaction" to my new surroundings. My assistant, who I'm always criticizing as "Mr Negative", thinks I'm going to be just fine. It might be an adjustment, but having my close friend in the building I'm living in will help. I wont be alone so many hours a day anymore, or living in the apartment I lived in with my mom for 13 years. Thanks to Jeff, I can even watch my news guy from Philly at 11 each night on the internet, and I thank him for that.

New address.. old member. I'm having a lot of emotions.. but.. I know that I'm going to be just fine.

I hope your move goes smoothly,and nothing gets broken during the move. As someone who has moved a lot over the years,you never know how much stuff you have until you move. 😉

Thanks for your good wishes, Zod.

My new apartment will be my eighth place that I've lived in 42 years.. but.. as I've posted before, I've been here 13 years, so its been a while since I've moved. I know what you mean about not knowing how much stuff one has until they move. I've sold and gotten rid of a lot of my mom's things, and am simply leaving some things in the apartment. The only things I;m taking are a deed box in my room, a big chest in my room, my computer, and my clothes. The other reason for this is that I'm going to be moving into an apt less than half the size I have now. I'm now in 1350 sq ft, and my new place will be 625, which is just about what most of my friends in NY have, and more than enough for one person.

Anyhow, thanks again.
