Spent the day moving friends from one little shared apartment to a gorgeous condo. Aside from the complaining of sore muscles, the aches of old decrepit backs and joints, [yes, we are both quite over the hill at the tender age of thirty [wry smile]] the move went quite well, nothing was broken and nobody was gravely injured. Which is a good thing because we woke up this morning to snow. Lots of white fluffy stuff falling from the skies, gathering in little mounds and making the long contorted steep metal fire escape slick and slippery. The boxes where a challenge, as you had to balance them in one hand using the other hand to keep you upright, as you tried to maneuver yourself down icy steps, which either dipped wildly or twisted off to the side. The fridge, stove, washer, dryer and armoire though, were frightful. I hope never to experience watching two people balance the former as they inched their way down icy steps again. I think next time, we'll all chip in, hire movers and make sure that they move in the summer.
