-keyboard and guitar (!!!)

Wow, is that all?
The kitchen is going to be the worst. Oy. Well, at least I learned my lesson from Bangor-Boston move of 2 years ago (to the day!): DO NOT PACK DISHES AND UTENSILS FIRST. That had me eating Jason's pizza for 3 weeks before moving. :(
Ugh ugh ugh. Oh, and my foosball table. And loveseat. Auuuggggghhh!!!!
Oh well, at least no piano. That would require more than a pickup truck could handle, I think.
Time to start with something. Books! Yes. Okay.
