I can now fully understand what people mean about the trauma of moving. I have not moved in 10 years. I now realize that other than furniture, kitchen stuff and clothes, I mainly own toys and books. Is that really a bad thing? So far I have made the bedroom, bathroom and kitchen up to speed for use. the other day I put all my books on one of the surviving shelves. There were some furniture casualties during the move. I think some of the husband's ex's furniture had some bad voodoo. A bureau tried to "take him out." It had to be put out of its misery.
I do think I have post-moving depression. I don't feel like doing anything. I am still getting used to my new environment. I know there is plenty to do, I just have no motivation. I did finally get all the laundry done almost 2 weeks after being here. Well, it did take a week to get the dryer on board. It needed a new plug, then it was clogged with gunk and had a wire loose. I know how that feels. It also took a week to get the dishwasher hooked up. So I should be 100% now with my appliances.
The move and change has affected me more than I could have expected. The husband has been crankier. Besides the move a lot has been going on at both our jobs, we have less money and haven't been able to do much fun stuff.
