Will find out in about 4 hours if my approach to loading the moving truck was brilliant or very foolish…out of state move

Enough straps and bungies and you should be good to go!

When I moved I had an entire Uhaul filled with short boxes and long boxes stacked four high and wedged them in. No issues. Also only moved a mile down the road.

COVID has mutated enough it is more endemic than a pandemic. It’ll be around forever and get bad seasonally like the flu. Perhaps it could’ve been eradicated if we’d done things right in the earlier days (which leads to posting a mix of scientific and political thoughts about isolating, vaccines, etc. so I won’t go down that rabbit hole) but now it is here to stay and thankfully is less dangerous and just gonna be a yearly pain in the butt.

Feel better soon, Tony.
Covid began in a country that really could care less about human rights. Regardless, if it was let out on purpose or accident nothing could stop it once it started traveling nation to nation. It is what it is.

Four times here also but my job is to work in direct contact with patients face to face, up close, personal without their masks on because of what I need to do.
Was equally bad each time and the last round has left me with altered taste/smell that has remained about 6 months out from the last bout. Bothersome…I hope someday it goes away.
300+ miles later, no straps, just gravity and a very packed truck keeping things in place. Photo from unloading, nothing appeared to move in the slightest. The wire racks from home depot are perfect to move 5 shelves of short boxes and 2 can fit next to each other in typical moving trucks. The Ikea cube fit the plastic boxes perfectly so no movement there.

My first time I didn’t even realize I had covid until I lost my taste and smell. It lasted for about 3 days and then they returned. Food was horrible.I was on a beach vacation at the time. This was during the period where you had to quarantine for two weeks. Honestly felt like a head cold. Second time my youngest came home from school with it. I took care of him. I had another mild case, again like a head cold. Third time I came down with it was a few days after got my first booster (after the two initial doses of the vaccine) I slept for three days and felt more flu like. I thought it was a reaction from the booster but I tested positive. So far I am three days into this one, have a runny nose and nagging cough. Have a slight fever and that is annoying as hell, I am cold then break out into sweats.

@Anthony I hope you feel better! Never fun but sorry as here you finally had your time off, rest time and you got this…bah
They’re letting Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen drink for the New Year’s Eve show this year after not letting anyone last time! Should be a fun show.
Sadly I have been on vacation for the past 13 days. Been knocking out home projects to get ready for the basement remodeling. Just sucks to end it with this crap. Good news is I will notify work I will not be in. I can’t go in for five days following a positive test so will be home until next Wednesday.

During the lock downs I would leave mail outside for 7 days. Let them decontaminate before I would bring them in. Washing groceries and all that silliness. Now I realize I will get it once a year and thankfully it’s pretty mild
Do you guys remember when people were hoarding toilet paper that led to shortages in supermarkets all over the world? Definitely a low point in human civilization.

Yup. One of the readers of CHU mailed me TP. It was awesome. They had been prepared for a while. We keep a supply of stuff now just to make sure.
It was @CRUZZER i believe. Coolest gift I got. lol.

I remember having my two kids (5 and 8 at the time) home 24-7 from March through September. Then they only went back to school for 2 days a week in the fall through March and the other three I had to work while sitting in the same room with them to make sure they didn’t wander off or make faces at themselves in the screen during lessons.
I got nothing done those days.
When people panic you can see how very little humanity has evolved.
