It took four days, but the move is done. Living room, bedroom and kitchen are set up, computer is up and running, cats have recovered from the initial shock... Some furniture got tossed (it was old and needed it), some furniture was replaced (but not all). Art is going back on the walls with some rethinking as to the general "look" of the place. New place is clean, has bare floors except in the bedrooms (so no more damage by overzealous claw-sharpening cats), but the kitchen is noticeably smaller and the cabinets in there are ridiculously tiny. We're saving money by moving, however, so it's worth it.

I have some 71" bookshelves coming in to house my collection of books, novels and games, so that will be a nice change. I can finally pull them out of the boxes they've languished in for years and put them on display... The dining room is larger and has a window *gasp* so it isn't just a dark space into which we throw things for interminable "storage." There are plans to make it my son's gaming area, general play room for tabletop games... There's even enough room behind the couch in the main room to get back to work on the life-sized plush figures idea I came up with a few years ago.

It was painful work, but it's done.
