Saturday

Moving into a new place and combining the furnitures from two fully furnished apartments is not easy.

It is not easy because the need is there to create one cohesive and comfortable home and it is not easy because there are always things that wind up not needed.

It takes a lot of willpower to decide to discard things that have been around for years and served their owners by providing comfort.

But that is why storages were invented. To help us through the pain of parting with certain belongings.

My wife and both had a lot of stuff we didn't know what to do with and decided to put in storage. The facility is not far from home and we had no difficulty filling up a 5x10 cubicle with things.

These storage places are not cheap but not expensive either. They are doable.

Next week we have to spend a day emptying out our current storage place and move to a new one because the bastards raised the rent about the third times this year. They just send a notice advising us that the rental fro October 1 will be higher.

Now, that is a helluva way to make money. But I heard that a lot of people were moving out of that facility because of their pricing policy.

During the week we looked around and found a place, not far from home where the one year rent is guaranteed and it is lower than we are currently paying.

So, I am very anxiously looking forward to day of heavy physical exercise that will involve moving our stuff from one place to another.
