Under Where?

We moved into our new condo last Saturday. Although I dreaded the amount of work involved in moving, I was also excited to be settling in.

We intended on sleeping-over Saturday night, but our moving plans were fairly ambitious and we didn't get everything done that we had hoped. So we went back to our original location to have dinner, shower and spend the night. There is nothing like showering after a long hard day of work, to find that after the shower, all your clean underwear was moved to the other house.

I sat on the bed in my towel after the shower, too exhausted to move, and very sad I did not have any clean clothes. Luckily I had a stash of clean stuff in a drawer that was left behind. The overly ambitious plans to move everything fail turned to win.

So some advice if you're ever moving and planning on sleeping over. Pack an overnight camping bag or backpack when you're moving. If you can, pack a week's worth of toiletries and necessities, and keep it with you whichever house you go to. Sort of an emergency pack. Luckily our condo and old house was a very short drive away, but it would suck if you found yourself 30 miles away from all your clean underwear and your toothbrush. Buying new from stores are an expensive and not so convenient alternative.
