Moving Day!

Today the family moves their stuff into the tenant's unit until the current tenant's move out the duplex, we do some minor renovations and move upstairs. Dylan and Alexander are upstate with the maternal grandparents. Zan and I need to get some work done this weekend.
Well, moving took 11 hours. Let me tell you-- get your move capped. That way if they come unprepared or something happens on their side where the move takes longer you are protected.

Here's a better moving in / moving out song: "You're moving out today" by Carole Bayer Sager (1977)

I stayed out late one night and you moved in
I didn't mind 'cause of the state you were in
May I remind you that it's been a year since then

Today the landlady, she said to me
You're looney friend just made a pass at me
Perhaps you might enjoy a cottage by the sea

So pack your toys away
Your pretty boys away
Your 45's away
Your alibis away
Your Spanish flies away
Your old tye-dyes away
Your one more tries away
You're moving out today

Your nasty habits ain't confined to bed
The grocer told me what you do with bread
Why don't you take up with the baker's wife instead of me, fool!

Pack up your rubber duck
I'd like to wish you luck
Your funny cigarettes
Your sixty-one cassettes
Pack all your clothes away
Your rubber hose away
Your old day-glos away
You're moving out today

Pack up your dirty looks
Your songs that have no hooks
Your stacks of Modern Screen
Your portrait of the Queen

Your mangy cat away
Your baby fat away
You're headed that-o-way
You're moving out today

Pack up your fork and spoon
Please leave my lorna doones
Your map of Mozambique
Your water bed that leaks

I listened to this very song driving down your street 30 years ago.
