So. This would be the day of the boxes. Boxes, boxes, boxes. Full boxes. Empty boxes. Shifting, heavy, taped up boxes.
We made good progress. The living room books and media are packed. The linen closets are packed. The winter clothes are packed. The master bedroom closet has been gutted and re-arranged and now looks like it ought to have looked the past 16 months. The bathrooms are all packed and we're now using only ditty bags (although that was done yesterday, but I don't remember if I blogged it or not.)
The boys ate cereal, cold cuts, and rice today. We threw grapes at them to prevent scurvy on the voyage. They are fine so far: vitals good, energy levels high, attitudes fairly pleasant although shifting slightly toward edginess by supper. No sedation required yet.
In all, not bad. I'm going to vegetate and enjoy Hussein, an Entertainment, by Patrick O'Brian (because, yes, all three of the next Aubrey-Maturin books had to be placed on hold! So far, it's a great book, though.)
Kiss those babies!

You are awesome! Our experiences moving seem to take forever. Here you are, nearly all packed up and ready to go!
Wishing you smooth sailing.
No sedation required yet.
For them or for you? :-0
You seem to have everything under control much better than I would. Good luck with everything!
So glad to hear that the tipi is packing up well and the buffalo skins are all packed and ready to go. Before you know it you'll have all the dried buffalo and venison on the horses, your tepee poles bundled up and ready to go, and be off to new hunting grounds.
