Moving Day

Moving day was a big hassle. I don't know how some people can move every few years. They must be great organisers, or else leave everything to the movers. I packed another 2 small boxes that early morning for the movers to shift, leaving several plastic bags, several 'plastic suit-covered' outfits and all my shoes for self carry.

Poor little Brandy had to be locked inside a bathroom to avoid being squashed by the movers. I made a trip to the new place in the late morning and rushed back to pick up some more self carry stuff and Brandy. I also realised that moving and movers can somehow cause a fairly clean white floor to become dusty and blackish with pieces of papers and tapes everywhere.

At the new house, I decided to leash Brandy up in my room to be out of the way of movers. First I tried her collar and a simple leash. She got out of that in a flash. I then tightened the collar and leashed her again. It did not work. I tightened the collar yet again. Did not work. I have decided that her neck and head size are the same. I then used a body leash that has loops for 2 front legs and head. Don't ask me how but she got herself out of that in two flashes. By this time, movers had arrived, stuff was coming in and Brandy was everywhere.

*Ugh*

Last try was to use the body leash and really loop it around her front legs and chest, tightened that and it WORKED.

At the end of the day, made another trip to old flat to get some more stuff (not all mine). When I got back, movers had left and my room was full of boxes. Could not get to window, or to table and bed was not set up. Lucky Brandy had been released from her leash earlier or I would have been worried that she had been buried by the boxes. Spent several hours doing rapid unpacking of boxes, squashing stuff into cupboard and shelves without arrangement, just to clear the boxes and get my bed set up. Poor Brandy looked lost as I had to shift her little bed around several times that night.

All in all an exhausting day. The few days after that were just as exhausting with more boxes to unpack and things to sort through. If I have any say in this matter, this is my last big move.
