I'm already retired, so theoretically I can write when I want, but the muse just isn't cooperating. I'm hoping that editing my stories will help spark the flame and I'll be writing soon. I hope. God, I really really hope so.

It's sound advice @Gillo. Make sure the essentials -sleep and food - are covered while you take care of the rest after.

that's hilarious, @scratch!scratchmeout
Oh so you're all responsible adults who don't write during meetings and stuff?

Why do we have to have stupid jobs get in the way of our need to write? I'm going on strike. This is BULLHONKY.

We did beds and I did some kitchen and most of my son's room before I had to leave town again.

@Niamh, we moved a *lot* when I was a kid. My parents' rule was as you say, but get the beds set up first, then the kitchen. If you or your kids are too tired to eat or cook, at least beds are ready. (And takeout always an option.)

@sandy_s I was young. And apparently full of piss and vinegar. Yeah, I have some pretty cool hacks, and the major advice. Breakdown the bedroom then the kitchen last -- and do the opposite in the new place. Bedroom and Kitchen set up first. This way, you have the means to reheat dinner

Just a heads up - I'm not really adding an already-posted fic (I Know You II), just added in some missing chapters. It was inevitable, I guess. *sigh* Thanks to Blackrose89 for calling it to my attention! Just ignore me and carry on!

When we had to move out of my apartment after Hurricane Katrina, my parents, brother, and I did it all in one day. My sweet dad even cleaned out the very nasty fridge for me. lol I've never seen so many fridges being thrown out.

On the opposite side of that, my mother once told my father that if he wanted to move, she'd need 5 years notice.

But the really impressive thing is I could break down an apartment and set up the new one in once day.

When I was young and in my 20s, I lucked out on apartment hunting in NYC -- I managed to move 6 times in 18 months -- and the rent kept going down (rent control only allowes the landlord to up the rent by a certain percentage to new tenants) and the last apartment I ended up paying $46.00 a month --
