Real quick post – we’re halfway there or almost halfway there. We did the first 900 miles today, after a very rough pack out Thursday and a very rough clean up on Friday (yes there were injuries.) We’ll do the other 950 miles tomorrow and unload the truck on Monday.
We’re all fine, but tired and sad and pretty grouchy but we haven’t killed either animal or each other and haven’t even been tempted to do so. I call that a win.
Details will come – eventually. We leave for the bay area on the 13th so don’t give up on me if I don’t blog it all quickly. BlogHerCon will obviously take priority.
Anyone out there live in Manchester Tennessee? When did y’all get civilized? There’s even a Starbucks. Who knew?
Oh… quick update on my mileage – first tank, only 47.2 (mostly stop/start traffic with only the last 20 miles done at a level speed.) Second tank, 52.7 – all freeway but following a uHaul that didn’t maintain its speed very well (aversion to lane changing and a hell of a lot of traffic.) Third tank, 55.1 (mountains but not as much traffic so more steady speed highway driving.) I’ll call my dad early next week and get his mileage update. heh.
And the gas mileage on the UHaul?…
Stay safe – on the road and when you unload.
It can’t be that bad if you still have the presence of mind to keep track of your mileage.

You live….that’s a good report in itself sweetie. The mileage is icing on the cake. Just please take your time and be careful. And please be careful when you guys unload everything….no injuries please. You sound amazingly sane to me Denise…kinda like you do every day. Just please tell me you’re getting enough rest when you need it. You can’t be SUPER LADY forever before your cape starts to fray sweetie….. ~xo
Yes, moving indeed sucks.
Glad to hear everyone is staying sane. 🙂
I hope it wasn’t raining while you unloaded the truck. I heard there were supposed to be some big storms moving through the Chicago area today.
hmmm…mb its true ,
