Movers backing into our Roscoe Village alley, Roscoe Village, Chicago

We hired The Professionals to do our move today and they arrived right on time at 8:00 a.m. It’s been a long day and will probably be a lot longer. I’m just taking a break right now. This was the first time I’ve hired movers and it was SO worth it. It cost a lot, but in the scheme of things, given how much money we laid out yesterday, it was a drop in the bucket. Our movers were fantastic and it was so much better than doing it ourselves or begging friends to help.

When the movers were almost done I jumped in a cab to go to our new place so I could open the doors and get ready for them. I noticed in the cab that the fuel surcharge has dropped to $0.50. Back in July I noted it was $1.00.

More on the condo soon. I know everyone’s requesting photos, but I don’t know if I’ll get to them today yet.
