Moving Day: A Thriller | Jonathan Stone

Littens, I need your good vibes over the next few months. Today, I‘m moving my cats into my parents house while we wait to move into our new house. The cats have never moved before, now they have to move twice. Needless to say, I‘m extremely nervous. I also need good vibes on a good closing with both houses. As if that wasn‘t enough, I interviewed last week for a different position in my school that I really want. I need all the help I can get!

Crazeedi Where should we send notes to you? I want to get one sent! I've moved kitties like this before, if they are skittish will hide, if they are comfortable around people they'll be ok; if theres a room or place you can put them in with their food and litter till they're done being scared it might help. 5y
mcctrish That‘s a lot going on, I‘m a teacher 🇨🇦 our school year doesn‘t end until June 28th and I can‘t imagine all these things on top of the crazy of the month of June, it‘s so action packed and goes soooo fast! I hope everything goes well for you (edited) 5y

Purrfectpages @Crazeedi I forwarded my mail until mid August to my parents house, but didn‘t change my address formally. We have a property that we are slated to move in to the end of July, but a few issues have to be addressed there before that can happen as well. 5y
Purrfectpages @mcctrish yes, ideally I would have moved after school ended, but the latest our buyers could go was the 15th of June. We didn‘t want to risk the sale over a few weeks, but it definitely adds to the stress. I thought we got out of school late on the 25th, but you have us beat! 5y
Crazeedi @Purrfectpages ok I will just send to your address!! Hope all goes smoothly for you 5y
Purrfectpages @JoScho I know you feel my pain! Did you find a new house yet? You have to find a new job too, right? 5y
Purrfectpages @Crazeedi thanks for the advice! Luckily my parents have a decent sized house and the cats know them, so I hope that helps. I‘ve gone back and forth on where to “release” them. At first I wanted to keep them in a closed room, but then I thought that might be more stressful. I think we decided on the living room. It‘s quiet, but has no doors so when they feel comfortable enough to explore, they can do so at their pace. 🤷‍♀️ 5y
Jas16 Sending you positive thoughts! 5y
TheLibrarian Good luck! I agree with @Crazeedi about leaving the cats in one room. Even if it‘s for a few hours. That‘s what we did with my cat when we moved since she gets stressed easily. Then she also knew where to find her litter box. If you‘re worried it could be too stressful, either your or one of parents could stay with the cats for a little bit in the room. Either way best of luck! 5y
Purrfectpages @TheLibrarian yes, although we technically own this house for a few more days I will be moving over today with the cats while my husband will help with the transition, but not move over today with me. I planned on staying with them in the room most of today and tomorrow, if need be. We are also putting both litter boxes in that room to start. 5y

JoScho Yes we have a new house-we close on it tomorrow but we have contractors doing some updates so we won‘t be moving in just yet. We also have three cats we have to moves and yes I still need a job. It is all stressful and exciting. Hang in there! We will get through it and be better in the long run 💗 5y

So, today‘s the Big Move *sighs*. It‘s gone well. Now I‘m taking the crew out for chow to get some fortification. So, not #BookNDinner, but at least breakfast-lunch-dinner, lol. Shrimp, scallops, clams, mussels, chicken, beef, pork, broccoli, mushrooms, green beans, zucchini, scrambled egg, noodles, minced garlic and ginger, teriyaki and bourbon sauces, General Tso chicken, and green tea. MMMmmm 😋. #MongolianGrill is good. 👍🏻👍🏻

Haven‘t been reading much lately because we are in the middle of a move. I am so sad to be leaving my beautiful window seat/book shelf my husband made me but he promises me he will make another. Positive side I have a library room in our new house. All my books have been packed for awhile and boy do I miss them. #movingsucks

JoScho Moving is the worst! 6y
Karen3 @JoScho it is. I swore I wouldn‘t do it again but here we are moving again. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 6y
JoScho And I see an ultraboost box! Best shoes ever!! 6y

LiteraryinLawrence Good luck with the move! Can‘t wait to see pictures of your new library room once you‘re settled (but I know it‘s so hard now during the transition). 6y
Karen3 @LiteraryinLititz thanks and I will post a pic as soon as we get in the new house! 6y
AmyG Good luck. I am moving soon and it sucks. But a library!! Lucky! 6y
TheLibrarian Best of luck with the move! 6y
8little_paws Im in the process of moving as well. Closing is supposedly July 16. My books have been boxed since March. I'll stick to renting after this sale goes through... the drama of selling is too much. 6y

1. Seven as an adult, but that doesn‘t count several moves in and out of storage units.
2. Central Cali to Montana.
3. Well, in this picture there‘s 44 from the most recent move last month. That doesn‘t include about 20 boxes of cookbooks. (They aren‘t unpacked yet because I‘m getting built in bookshelves!)
4. I‘ll be moving again at some point.
5. Yay! Yay! Yay! At least hire people to move the heavy stuff!

JoScho Oh that is a lot of book boxes. 😊❤️📦 6y

1. Navy Brat so way to many. In my life I have been enrolled in 26 schools.
2. To Guam when I was a child. No idea how far but it was an 18'hour flight. (I think)
3. 800+ books. It took 5 tubs of books to move into this house. I didn't haven800 books then.
4. Forever. But I'll travel to make up for it. I hate packing.
5. Yay. I miss the military movers.

JoScho Wow Guam! And yay for forever home 🏠❤️ 6y
ravenlee Air Force brat myself (then active duty, now spouse of active duty AF) and mine was Germany to Ohio when my dad retired. A kid in my new fifth grade class asked how long the drive was...from Germany... 6y
LibrarianRyan @ravenlee you got Germany? Kind of Jelly. We only had small bases. Until High school I always loved on and island. As for the drive.... in the following book there is an underwater train between Germany and the US. Time april 3 or 4 days. I'd make the kid read the book. Or write an essay on why you can not drive from Germany. 😜 6y

ravenlee I just realized how unclear I was - when we moved to Ohio I started fifth grade, in a tiny rural/suburban school. That was when the kid asked the dumb question. The farthest she'd ever been from Columbus was northern Kentucky. 6y
LibrarianRyan @ravenlee ahhhhh. That I understand. When we moved back to Illinois it was supposed to be temporary. Dad was retiring out of Washington. We came home for the summer and stayed. Luckily I had been in school with these kids at various times, but they still asked dumb questions like was Alaska cold? Duhhhh 6y
ravenlee 😂 Having to introduce myself and say where I'd moved from, at my second new school for fifth grade, four different kids asked if my family were Nazis. Not sure it was better than the first school. 6y
Zelma @LibrarianRyan 😂 after living in AK we get the same two questions - was it really cold? And was it dark all the time? 🙄 every so often, we lied when traveling so we didn‘t have answer the same questions. 6y
LibrarianRyan @Zelma I totally understand that. 😉 6y

1. About 10
2. 2,152 miles
3. Only 4-5. If I moved again I‘d get rid of my grad school textbooks (and make my husband get rid of his) and probably get rid of a lot of the kids‘ books. Especially since they will likely move out before I do...
4. See above. I can‘t afford to move, so fortunately I‘m pretty happy where I am.
5. Movers yay. Packers, nay.

JoScho Thanks for playing 😊❤️📦 6y
Slajaunie Keep the kid‘s books! I kept mine from my childhood plus my children‘s. Unfortunately, I have them all to my alders when she had a little one and they flooded. They were on a high shelf but it collapsed into the water. So disappointed! Both of us were! 6y
CSeydel @Slajaunie I‘ll keep them, but I draw the line at moving with them 😉 6y

1. So many! My dad was highway patrol so growing up about 5-7 maybe. As an adult at least that many but only once in the last 20 years and we should be here for a good many years to come.
2. I‘ve only lived in 2 states but at nearly opposite ends of California so several hundred at least.
3. Right now? One large or maybe 2 medium.
4. I‘m sure we‘ll move again but probably not for a long time.
5. Yes!!!!

JoScho 😊❤️📦 6y
