Oh, well that's ok then!

 

[Fluvial]

Taking down the Xmas lights Mary?

 

[bigray76]

A rare Sunday morning +1 from me....

 

[wilheldp_PE]

Nother house packing day for me. Yay!

I'm putting up the last of the Christmas decorations today, but yesterday, I was caulking above my head on a ladder. I'll finish tomorrow.

 

[Ble_PE]

Have fun Wil, I don't envy you at all!

 

[wilheldp_PE]

I don't envy me either. But once it's all done, this will just be a distant memory.

I was caulking above my head on a ladder.

It's amazing how heavy even the lightest of things gets when you're holding it above your head, isn't it?

 

[TouchDown]

No kidding, just doing new tasks that you haven't done in a while can make you super sore. Hope all goes well, Mary!

I just finished up what I needed to do at work, now off to my daughter's gymnastics meet!

Later all!

 

[cement]

I never forget the first time I cut a tree branch from a ladder.

wholly crap!!

 

[wilheldp_PE]

My feet hurt and my back was killing me yesterday afternoon from walking 18 holes. I hadn't done that in a few months, so my body wasn't really prepared for it.

 

[Ble_PE]

I don't envy me either. But once it's all done, this will just be a distant memory.

That's true. Once you get moved in, you'll forget all about it. Good luck!

 

[Fluvial]

Seems like whenever I move, I lose one of my favorite things but also find a long-lost favorite thing.

 

[TranspoVA]

somehow our christmas tree is still up...

 

[Fluvial]

^^ Oh snap!

I was just reading " On the 23rd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me ... take down that tree already dammnit!!"

 

[Ble_PE]

I'm glad we decided to not put up Christmas decorations this year. It would have been too hard to take them down after coming back from a 2 week vacay.

 

[Fluvial]

Yeah that is a pain. I came back from 3-day vac to kids moving out and in, and office moving. No wonder I was late getting Xmas stuff down! A lot of it is still sitting on the dining room table, waiting to be boxed up & put in the attic.

Last year when we went to NYC for Xmas, we didn't put up any decorations here.

 

[wilheldp_PE]

I'm about 75% packed. But that last 25% is probably going to take 75% of the time. My mom likes to pack because she thinks she's abnormally good at it. I let her continue to think that and benefit from her packing my stuff.

 

[Dexman PE]

My wife's family likes to think they are pro movers too. I just like to let them go with it. It only costs me the price of some beer and lunch.

 

[ElCid03]

I only help move if there's beer involved.
