The death of a thousand cuts

So, now we’re in Ohio, temporarily staying with the folks while we wait to close on the house. It’s been thoroughly cleaned, and the trailers should arrive sometime tomorrow. In the meantime, we’ve been dealing with the 1,001 minor-but-important details: transferring utilities, buying David’s school supplies, double-checking the roofer’s references, looking for a new microwave, and so on. This to me is the most aggravating part of moving, since it never seems to stop. On the other hand, all the parts of moving have been aggravating so far. We’ll all be happy when we’re in the new house, even though it will take a while to get settled in.
