figmentWe moved!
A bunch of people showed up to help at our two different locations, which is completely awesome. The process went very quickly, actually, other than the fact that we really needed two pickup trucks and only one person had one. Which just meant that the heroic pickup truck driver had to go to both locations. Anyway, on Saturday, all of the big stuff got moved, and the vast majority of the small stuff.
We ate pizza and thanked our helpers (thank you!), went to the Tiny Shanty fundraiser, and then went back to the old place to sleep. Because it seemed easiest to sleep there Saturday night, and keep the cats there, and then move cats + bedding the next day. Sadly this meant we slept on a very hard futon Saturday night - as we'd moved the good one - but it had to do. Sunday was a lot slower. We moved a couple of carloads of stuff that had been left, finishing up by moving the cats.
The cats are adjusting well to the new place. Bagheera has already figured out how to climb up into the lofted area (he climbs right up the ladder/stairs) and how to get down on his own, and apparently he likes it up there. Tigra is still sticking to the main floor, but seems fairly relaxed. Good job, cats.
Today I'm sore and tired, but happy. We're not quite done moving stuff yet, and there's a lot of boxes to unpack at the new place, and there's stuff yet to be delivered that will then have to be put together etc... but it's so exciting to be in our new home. No pictures yet, but I'll try to take some tonight.

azure_armand pointed out that in DC, when we moved in the place was so full of boxes piled on top of each other we could barely move. With this move, with the same amount of stuff, almost none of the boxes are on top of each other, and we can walk around easily. In other words, we have a lot more room. Yay!
In the process of moving, we're getting rid of some things. Here's a few that I know right now, but more are likely to come up. Free.
*queen futon, as I mentioned, it's quite hard, it makes a good second layer of futon though
*full/queen futon frame, basic wood, solid, raises the futon off the ground by about 6-8 inches, does not transform into couch
*my Ren Fest boots, black leather, slightly above the knee, women's size 8.5 or slightly smaller than that, worn for a couple of seasons but still have plenty of life in them. They're not the super awesome ones, they're what I could afford, basically a slightly taller version of the leftmost thing in this picture:
