All done!
Mostly.
I decided I didn't really care what the neighbors thought and started loading stuff up around 8:30. The next door neighbors were making an unholy racket around 8 last night including what sounded like someone falling down the stairs. So there was that.
I put Mara on the balcony with a new marrow bone and started loaded. Got almost everything loaded that I wanted to bring pretty quickly. I ended up not having room for my milk in the cooler so I hope it didn't freeze too much in a not-insulated bag. Oh well.
The only stuff I didn't fit were my spinning wheel, my camp chair that I use with the spinning wheel, the emergency water 48 pack and the misc bag that was mostly reusable grocery bags and maybe one or two other things. I may also bring the square side table.
Mara was very good and extremely worried about it all but she loaded up fine and drove fine. I made it back up the hill and left her in the truck cab while I unloaded everything as fast as possible. Then I took the truck back down the hill and parked it and we walked back up so she could use the bathroom.
I shoved the fridge/freezer stuff away, ate a granola bar and set up the tv, my laptop and Mara's bed in front of the couch and sat down. Mara paced around for a while and finally drank some water and I convinced her to lay down on her bed and she's snoozling now while I have a twitch stream on for noise. Definitely different noises.
I can't quite figure out the thermostat, I poked at it and looked up a manual but it isn't heating past 50F so I need to email C about that.
I haven't unpacked anything else but my sweatpants and my heated blanket and I probably won't until later.
But I'm basically done! And I'll wrap up the rest on tuesday. I need to make a quick grocery run tomorrow morning but otherwise, it will be a quiet day off work.

Temperature management with fluffy dogs is a whole big thing for sure!

Oh lord, the Unusual Address. (This house doesn't have house numbers, and that means every time there's a new letter carrier assigned to the route there's this Moment of Doubt.)
Hope the cookies make it no problem!
