the meerkat has landed. I repeat, the meerkat has landed.

Although not without some crisis and uh-ohs (to quote my dad: "well, you managed to come up with some new moving disaster stories, I didn't think that was possible"), the move is 98% complete [waiting only to unload K's car when he gets back], the furniture is arranged, the cats have found their preferred places, and I have cable and connectivity again.

Thanks are definitely due to kradical who is a Hero of the Revolution, and smoemeth who now knows what a meerkat not-pleased-with-herself looks like. Oh, and highest recs for a moving company called "Two Men and a Truck." Their guys were fast, efficient, friendly, and had both manners and good humor. They're also not cheap, but it was worth every penny.

So. Yes. Installed at new address. I've even managed to empty out all the boxes that don't contain books, and break them down. The bookcases may wait for a while -- there are these things called deadlines that are calling my name again, and the social whirl begins this afternoon with a visit from msdori.

Move's over. Back to work.

But first I have to find the *(&$^! coffee....

EtA: no way in hell I'm reading the f-list, backeards or present, until things are caught up. If I should know something, please point me toward it...

*nod* The 2 men in a truck company is one that Ive used a couple of times.
Simply put, I wouldn't hesitate to use that company again. They made the moves that Ive made as simple and angst free as a move could possibly be.

Yay for the mostly safe arrival of meerkat, cats and coffee!

Congrats on a safe landing. When I moved into my house back in 1999, I said, "That's the last time I'm moving!" I don't know if that's true, but it can be a trying experience. And it sounds like the kitlins have acclimated nicely.

Welcome to the green and leafy and cozy Bronx. We are happy to have you here.

And yes, kradical is a hero. Glad Plum (the minivan) could be of service.

I found them off a local "recomendations" list, where they had a raft of "A" ratings. So they're not only good, but consistent.

(disclaimer: this is a franchise, so your local branch may be beter/worse. But the overall tone seems to be satisfaction from clients, so...)

Do we get the moving diaster stories at some time, or are they private?

BTW, I sent you an email with the email of an internet friend who has hunted, and hass a hubby and brother who have hunted, wild pigs in Hawaii. She says send her an email if you want/need info.
