Moving day went so well! The movers showed up (more or less) on time, and hustled all day long in the heat. They actually cost less than we had expected. The renters were moved out of the house, so we had no problem when we got the keys. And they didn't do any additional damage to the place since the last walk-through. They did leave quite a bit of crap behind, that we'll have to take to the dump. We're not even sure how to dispose of all of it.

We had friends come for the day to clean with me while the movers brought everything in. They worked SO hard, and were a huge help. Unfortunately, even after all of that, the place is still filthy and it will be weeks, maybe months before we get it really clean. We've seen a few silverfish around the place which is so gross! I don't know if we'll be able to get rid of them. Almost all of our boxes are downstairs, which is still pretty gross. So we don't know if they're going to end up in all of our stuff or not. I really, really hope not. We've got more than enough to deal with!

We're both sore and tired. We hadn't really slept well in several days because of the heat wave. Then moving day night we were so sore that it was hard to sleep. AND our kitten Luigi decided to start howling at our door around 4:30 am. So R ended up sleeping the rest of the night on the couch just to keep him quiet.
