Count the Boxes
When I came to Pittsburgh almost two years ago, I rented the smallest truck available (not a trailer since I had some hefty furniture in tow), and fitted all of my belongings into 6 boxes (plus some odds and ends that went in my car).
Well, odds and ends are in my car again, but somehow the number of boxes has increased this time around.

Last count we were up to 25. I didn’t know I had that much stuff! I think they are using smaller boxes for books and what not, and they put a lot of padding into the boxes. But still… it makes me feel like… I have too much stuff. They even called in a third guy to help load things into the truck. Was this standard procedure? I hope so. I hate being a difficult case.
