On The First Day:
The first load shall be:
The stool, what Moby shall consider sufficient Under.
The aerobed and pad, with bedding.
Tea kettle, dishes, flatware, pots and pans, other kitchen essentials.
Towels, soap, shower curtain, litter box, first aid kit, other bathroom supplies.
Packed suitcases with everything needed for the first week.
Whatever small items can fill in, and a guitar or two.
The second load shall be:
Moby.
Other guitars.
Coatrack and lamps, clocks and small tables.
Folding table and chairs.
Reloadable boxes, to be unpacked and brought back.
The third load may be:
The red sofa that can be folded, or drawers, or bed components, or desk parts.
Rugs (2).
Folding shelves (2).
Whatever else will pack in.
The fourth load may be:
Whatever else we can pack in.
The fifth load may not be.
If it exists, can be described as above.
I may well at this point enjoy the new bath. At some point, there must be lunch. If anyone shows up, we will get more done.
On the Second Day:
D will get the connectivity and some shopping done. After my twelve hour shift, we will do another load that evening, with cleaning and organizing for ease on the Big Heavy Move Day.
On the Third Day, I may not manage another load, as I work 1100-1900, but it is possible. Book boxes as tolerated.
On the Fourth Day - which is the Big Heavy Move Day:
Friends arrive with truck. With luck, there will only be the couch, shelves, mattress and frame, bookshelves (3), dresser, and too many book boxes.
Then, we go to Hong Kong Tea House for thanking dinner, and to celebrate D's birthday. Funny way to have a birthday, but I shall make sure he knows how much loved he is, and how glad I am he was born.
Gonna be quite a week. Nine days until The First Day.

j, gracias.
h, Ha!
Quite the plan.
Hope it all goes smoothly :)
oh god, that brought back some memories... fellow feeling to you both. It will end! The meal will taste good.
I'm tired just thinking about it.
Pondering reasons for Moby being on the second day plan. Thinking it'll be a mobyishtrip. :-)
I think you should just skip to the fifth day: waking up in your new home with all your stuff.
MB,
Moby is on the Second Trip of the First Day. We get his comforts set up, bring him next, let him settle or hide.
P, oh, don't I wish. But if wishes were moving vans...
And on the fifth day you will look upon it and see that it is good.
:->
Sorry, I meant "second trip plan." And your reasoning is eminently sensible, I see that now. Sure you don't want to transport some potted tomatoes, too? ;-)
Any plan that ends in a Chinese dinner and a birthday celebration can't possibly turn out to be less than perfect.
