Helping Move

Empty Boxes In My Car...

Moving can be a bigger stress as death, separation or divorce believe it or not.... It also tests peoples communication skills with one another as well. So when my girlfriend Deb had to move closer to where I live it involved a whole lot of work and preparation for about a month leading up to it. For me living in the same place for years it was an eye-opening experience because of several different reasons. One of them being the signing of leases and how much information there is these days. For instance a whole plastic folder of different things. It also reminded me of my past moves and what happened there with ex flat mates, ex partners and other stuff that happened.

Being there for Deb and trying to support her as best as I could was quite challenging for me having Asperger's. Along with having a few hot flushes was different as well. I was constantly trying to put myself in her shoes and think how she would be feeling etc... Sure she was the main one finding a place to live, finding and booking removalists, finding a couple of items of furniture, redirecting her post amongst a lot of other things. All this while holding down a full-time job as well which is an amazing thing to do and am so proud of her. For me I helped with storage of quite a few things of hers including a sofa bed she bought. I also helped her with packing, buying storage or moving boxes, taking things places, unpacking, sorting out amongst other things as well. We also discovered a few new different ways of packing and unpacking which was quite fun....

I'm not going to include photo's in this post as I'm not sure as to how Deb would feel about it. Moving is a personal thing to do and having photo's posted about one of life's transition online is up to her and not me. Yet all I can say is that we had our laughs, very long days and everything else concerned with moving. We managed to get through a whole day of moving without any type of words except for in the evening as a misunderstanding. Yet that's a different story again...

The point being is Deb is all moved in well to where she is living and I packed her a survival pack she could keep for the first few days we were there. They included cutlery, tea towels, soap, bath mats, washers amongst a few other things as well... So there you have it... Another one of our adventures..... With one of many still yet to be told... So stay tuned for more....
